electrical...i'd check to make sure all of the connectors going to the starter are clean and connected. my 87 tii did that before and after i cleaned off the oil and gunk around the electrical connections, it's been starting up just fine (no more click-click, click-click, click-click, crank, crank, crank, vrooooom!!!)

Does the clicking noise come from the starter? Is your battery fully charged? Try tapping on the starter casing with a hammer...If it is sticking, that will usually unstick it.

Believe it or not....
this is probably due to dirty battery posts. Buy one of those simple wire brush tools from you local parts shop, I'll bet your problem goes away.
