Re: starting problem.
If it's clicking and not turning over at all until about 10 clicks, I would think the problem is still with the starter. Perhaps a bad starter? I have had that happen to me before. If the lights do not dim too much when you turn it over it most likely wouldn't be a battery problem IMHO.

Re: starting problem.
ck. ALL battery/power cables/wires . even if they look clean they may not be getting full power through them . wire brush ALL power & ground leads & connections . (disconnect battery first) any that look bad replace/repair . then give a light coat of di-electric grease to all . the grease is a good idea for all elect. connections (bulbs , sockets etc.) . a light coat/film is all thats needed . good luck .

Re: starting problem.
Check to make sure you have the little wire on the S terminal. And make sure your battery is fully charged.

Re: starting problem.
Well its a common problem. There are several reasons for that issue. I think you should check these thing and you will caught the reason.
1. Dead Battery Power
2. Dirt in spark plug.
3. Fuel injection system
4. Low flow of current in spark wires.
5. Ignition switch problem
