Re: Trouble to start my 5speed svx.

check the voltage (with a multimeter )available at the small terminal on the starter when you turn the key it should read 12 volts if it is low volts there is a fault in the start circuit you may need to do the relay mod

Alex the click click click usually means there is not enough power in the battery.

There is probably enough power to turn on the ignition lights on the clocks and maybe even enough to turn on the headlights, but if there is not full charge it usually does the clicking noise.

Leave the safety switch in the position where you heard the clicks, that sounds like it is working OK.

A way to check if your battery is down on power is to try starting with the headlights on. Once the power is diverted to the starter circuit as you try to start your lights will dim way down if the battery is not fully charged. That's a sure indicator that your battery is down on charge.

Charge the battery, then try again.

If you use too thin of a wire going to the pedal switch it will do this.
