Default No start, only click from Starter Relay

I need help please with a carbureted 2003 Springer.

While trying to adjust the Throttle friction adjusting screw the bike was starting fine 3 or 4 times in a row, then nothing, except the faint click from the Starter Relay. Bike is in Neutral with the Clutch pulled in.

I made sure battery was charged according to Charger, and tried another battery. Then I installed a new Starter Relay and a Button on the solenoid.

Still no start only the faint click.

I would have a shop load test your Battery, unless the other one you tried was new.
Good luck.

It's either the battery, bad starter or a bad ground.

Starting 3-4 times in a row? Did you let your starter cool off between starts?

I found problem was in the wiring. Cleaned off all connections and it starts up just fine. I appreciate the help and advice from those that offered. Thanks
