what are you talking about?

have you checked to see if the battery is any good?
if it is not that then the solenoid might be bad

1) Did you check the level of the gear oil in the rear?

2) Clicking solenoid can be low battery charge, fried solenoid, loose cable connection between battery and starter, or bad starter. Start at the battery end and work your way toward the starter.

Hot starters run slow.

Pumping will simply flood the engine with gasoline.
