The starter on a 350 Chevy clicks and won't turn over what is wrong?

That symptom is most often a dead battery, but could also mean bad end bushings on the starter or a bad starter drive. ANOTHER ANSWER: The solenoid typically makes a clicking noise as it engages the starting gear to the flywheel. As the solenoid is "pulled in", it also causes the electrical contact to send current to the starter motor. You don't hear the solenoid engage because the starter is usually masking the sound. If the starter motor is not spinning it can be caused by one of several potential problems: * The starter motor may not be getting enough electrical current to spin. In this case the solenoid takes much less current than does the starter motor. It could be a weak battery, bad electrical connection or corroded battery terminals. * If the battery is ok and you're getting good current flow to the starter it could be that the electrical contacts inside the solenoid could be just plain worn out, as the above post indicates it could be bad bushings, worn brushes or a shorted armature.

If there is a starter click but your car want start what could be wrong?
One of a few things depending on the click. If it makes consecutive clicks when you turn the key (click,click,click,click) then the odds are the battery is dead or in need of charging and there just isn't enough charge to fully engage the starter and turn over the engine. If it clicks just once, the selenoid is usually bad, or the starter is "locked" and will need to be replaced.
How do you know if the starter needs to be replaced?
When the starter motor refuses to turn over or grinds and clicks when turning then you need a new motor or recondition the old one.
