WOW! I’ve had great success with all this advice. Im learning sooo much. I GOT IT STARTED!! The clicking was the sound of the fuel pump working as it should + i needed to boost my battery so i have it charging now. I’m in the process of changing ALL fluids, bought new ignition switch (the old one was messed up), oil filter, gas filter, spark plugs, and a new chain. My Clymer book came in and i still cant figure out what that thing is? Could it be a relay or a rectifier? The grey wire is connected to the red wire that goes to the positive on the battery. Not sure what its for…?

Alright, ill get on the cleaning of the carbs and new plugs right away. I’m pretty certain the engine isn’t seized but ill try your tip out. I have absolutely no idea what that grey wire is or what it does? There’s a taped up.. i dunno what attached to it? Its close to the size of a C battery?!? Thought it looked weird, that’s why i attached the picture to see what you guys would say. I think the previous owner might have messed around with it. Ill attach another picture with what the grey wire is connected to. Thanks for all the advice!

It was a continuous clicking for 10 seconds and then it seemed to just stop. Sounded like the engine might have been trying to turn over. It seems to get progressively worse. Every time i got back to it, the clicking length gets shorter. Now there’s no clicking.. The neutral light wont turn on now and the signal lights are on but they don’t flash? Ill attach a picture of the electrical.
