Battery is relatively new and topped off.
Starter is brand new.
All grounds seem solid.

Yet often when I turn the key it's just click click on the starter. Then after swearing for a few minutes and threatening to send it to the crusher, it starts.

I thought maybe it was some kind of neutral safety or reverse lockout problem (and maybe it is), but I don't why it'd click at all if that were the case. It's like it's not getting enough current for the starter to turn, but as stated, starter is new and batter is pretty new and full. PITA.
