Starting problem. Need help ASAP

[Wired]

Buddy of mine is down in oklahoma at the dunes and is having a starting problem with his 450. He blew a fuse under the right rear fender, replaced the fuse thinking that was his starting problem and now its clicking in the starter solenoid. I told him it might have went bad and to try bump starting it to see if it was just a starter problem. But now its not even wanting to fire up and once you turn off the key it clicks in the fuel injector for 4 seconds. Weird, anyone had a problem like this before? i told him to try a different battery and go from there.

SOUNDS LIKE FLY WHEEL BOLTS CAME LOOSE.

mine is doing the same thing. sounds nothing like the fly wheel bolts. check all fuses and and relays and the solenoid. i havent figured it out but its electrical. i think its a bad solenoid. ill let you know when i figure it out tonight

i had the same problem. and all i could hear was a click from the starter. came to find out the fly wheel bolts came loose and lock the motor. just my 2 cents. but it sure sounds like that.

the first thing is to make sure the batt is fully charged
that click can also be from a low batt or a loose wire or a bad ground.

i pop started mine and it ran fine so its not locked up
