RE: Help with starting PROBLEM
Are you sure teh battery isn't dead or realyl weak? It takes a decent amount of power to get one of these started. If it's just clicking, then I'd guess that it's not getting enough power. Try jumping it and see if it starts or sounds any different.

RE: Help with starting PROBLEM
If you are getting power to the starter then its your starter.
you can hear the solinoid clicking right?
go under the driver fender and take a wrench and tap it a few times and see if it starts, if it does , replace the starter solinoid.
if it still doesnt work test the voltage going out of the solinoid, you will see 2 main posts on the solinoid, when looking head on at the solinoid you want to test the big wire on the right side as that goes to teh starter, if you are getting good voltage there (make sure to turn the key like you are starting it during test otherwise you wont get anything) if there is good voltage tehre the only thing left is the starter or teh wire going to the starter.
sounds like a starter to me.
do you have headers? if so your starter will suffer from heat soak after a while and go out, if it is the stock or OEM starter, the only solution is to get a mini high torque starter otherwise it will happen again
