Got a full battery, actually i tried 2 batteries, brand new fully charged. So it aint the batteries. I pulled all the plugs out, spun her by hand, no issues. Checked all connections to the starter. Everything seems fine. Only 2 wires, one to the starter from the battery and the other to the key ignition up front.
She'll click when i turn the key.....but nothing. Just click! Click! Click! From the stater.
Ran fine before i left the drain plug in on accident and she filled with water from all this rain the last few weeks.
Dried out just fine. I dont think its water related tho. And the motor aint locked up.
Anyone have any input?

Take a screwdriver and jump the solenoid on the starter. The contacts inside the solenoid can corrode or simply wear out. If that doesn?t work, this is barbaric, I know, while the key is being turned to start tap the starter with a dead blow hammer. Sometimes the starter gets stuck in between the magnets. In my experience, if all parts are good, it?s a weak ground. Ground the motor and the starter with two different cables and make sure all of the contacts are clean.
