No Start

Ok I was not sure what to search so maybe someone can help or put me in right direction.
2006 Lowrider with 103 motor fitted.
Battery charged.
Tried to start, clicking and not turning over.
Checked battery it's ok.
Put on trickle charger (O'night) anyway.
Tried again, lights everything ok.
Try starter just click as though trying to start but not enough power ???
Any ideas what maybe the issue.

Earth cable
Starter Solenoid buggered
Starter relay buggered
Corrosion on battery terminals
Battery buggered - jumper a car to it and try to start again - or use a voltmeter when starting to see what it drops to

So...
You press the start button
which energises the starter relay (click sound from behind a side panel)
which feeds the starter solinoid
which completes the battery to Starter connection (click sound from behind the rear cylinder where the starter motor is)
And the starter engages

This is a basic diagram of the start circuit
ONLY
, (this is for later models , others may be different, but will give you an idea).. ....
Two things happen
when you turn ignition
ON
... Power goes to one side of
stop/ run switch
,,,,
And,
to post
30
of relay switch,
(not the coil).
..
See red lines
....
You then press run/stop, (Kill) switch to
Run ,
, fuel pump primes,,
(we are not looking at that circuit)
..... Power then goes from Stop/run switch, to one side of Start Button,
(waiting to be pressed)
, , (
yellow line
)....
You then press
Start Button,
(switch) ,, which sends power to
start relay coil
,
(brown line)
...
coil then energizers/ closes,
(clicks),
,, which in turn
makes
the circuit
between
post 30
of relay, (
red wire
), and
Starter Motor Trigger wire
to starter motor solenoid ,
(Green
wire
),,,
With power on the Trigger wire, (
green
wire
) ,,
(everything being good with battery and connections)
,, starter motor solenoid will
energize/close,
, and
makes circuit
for
main power
from battery, to
start/spin
the starter motor ..... Engine should
crank / start
,,,, take your finger off the Start Button !!!!!!!
Taking your finger off the Start Button removes power,
(from brown wire),
to
Start Relay Coil , (ie,,removes power from Trigger wire, (Green wire),
which in turn, removes power,
(opens),
starter motor solenoid,, which in turn shuts down starter motor ......
Hope this is of interest to help get familiar with the starting system and troubleshooting...

Thanks all,
I was away on Saturday, then out on the FXR Sunday so didn't even get a look at this.
Will try and have another look Saturday as I scored some well priced (Free) storage cupboards today so be moving shit to fill them over the weeknights.
