Hey all

I've just finished bolting up my m52
I've gone to turn the key for the first start and the starter is just clicking, not spinning or engaging
Any ideas on what Might be the cause?

I had the same with mine, turned out I'd not fitted the heavy power cable from the battery down to the starter. Real disappointing the click eh? Hope you get it sorted.

Turn the headlamps on. What do they do when you try to start it?
