thanks ramblinman, engine not seized

got a new regulator/rectifier, new spark plug, connected the battery and it turned into the little engine that almost could..

it cranks now but has not started yet (bummer)

kinda feels like it's not getting any gas or something

it's so close..

any ideas?

thanks for the responses

i tried the solenoid jump and same thing

tried direct to starter and it felt like the starter tried but did not turn over

it doesn't have a kick starter (bummer) so no luck there

also i noticed that the ground wire got pretty hot after trying to start for a bit

maybe like you guys pointed out, it's seized.

how can i test for that?

also maybe a bad starter clutch?

thanks again for the responses

body wise it's not bad, missing a few clips and screws but pretty good.

got it for $450

but it wont crank, turn over or whatever the term is it wont start.

it has a brand new battery and brand new starter,

when i try turning it on all it does is click once not repeatedly.

i hear a click at the solenoid. also around the starter area i hear a click too but not sure if thats just the solenoid noise or if it's something inside.

i'de appreciate any info that might help.

thanks
