use the recoil rope you know, other than that buy a repair manual for that machine. knowledge is cheap when compared to ignorance.
The clicking noise you can hear is the starter solenoid clicking into place. If the starter motor does not turn the engine immediately, it is probably the best place to look. it sounds like the starter motor is faulty.
It is likely to be the starter is not working.
A weak battery. There is not enough voltage to hold the starter solonoid in.
Yes, the clicking is the starter, but there's probably nothing wrong with it. Your battery doesn't have enough juice to turn the starter motor (draws lots of current), but still has enough to turn on the lights and accessories. Try jump starting it or trickle charge the battery.
check starter connection,if 12 volts there probably bad starter
dead battery or bad starter or bad starter silanoid
If the 1996 Olds Aurora will not start and there is a clicking noise from under the front panel, check the starter. The clicking noise is probably from the starter solenoid.
Many many reasons, if its making a clicking noise, its probably your battery or starter, get a boost from a good battery is what you should try first. Its hard to give you a correct answer when you do not state any symptoms.
Well first check and see if the lights will turn on. If not you probably have a dead battery. If it is making a weird clicking sound it is probably the starter.
that means there is a short in the starter solenoid. pull starter out and have it overhauled
your battery is flat Could be that your starter is dead. The clicking is the starter solenoid. That's a good thing that it is at least clicking. Replace the starter.
If clicking while trying to start then might be a bad starter. If clicking while running, then might be valve/lifter noise.
Probably it's a low battery, though it could be a bad starter. You are probably hearing the starter solenoid clicking.
signs of a bad starter solinoid should be a slight clicking and no-crank
push the starter button

You need to check your starter or your starter selenoid.
