12V U1 Lead-Acid Battery
The 'click' confirms the solenoid is engaging, but the battery likely lacks the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) required to rotate the starter motor against engine compression. Over time, sulfation increases internal resistance, allowing enough voltage for the solenoid but insufficient amperage for the motor load. Replacing the battery restores the high-current capacity needed for cranking.

Starter Solenoid
If the battery is healthy, the solenoid itself is the mechanical failure point. Internal copper contact plates can become pitted or carbon-scored from electrical arcing during engagement. This creates a high-resistance bridge that prevents the 12V current from reaching the starter motor even when the plunger successfully 'clicks'.

Starter Motor Assembly
The starter motor may have developed a 'flat spot' on the commutator or the carbon brushes have worn down to the point where they cannot maintain electrical contact. When the solenoid sends power, the motor fails to generate the magnetic field necessary to initiate rotation, resulting in a single click from the solenoid followed by silence.
