Default no start just "click"

I have no start just have a starter going "clickkkk". I have had the battery tested and they say it's good. I have 12.75-13.09 when ignition is on. When ignition is on it drops to 12.48ish. I have the same at the relay box under the seat (from start switch to the starter). I'm kinda lost. Am I missing anything??

There are two:

The EVO starter Click

The EVO Forum Clique

Both have their moments of dread.

Take the end cover off the solenoid and take a look at the copper contacts and disc inside. If they are all burned up, that is probaly your problem. Often you can pull them out and clean them up with coarse wet rub paper and they will run for a good few thousand more miles.
