Sounds more like a dead battery. Mine just clicks one time.

This is the same issue mine has

That actually sounds like a battery. I think I can hear the starter spinning.

Check your battery connection and test your battery.

Update. Got my new starter in and tried putting it in. Successfully removed air box an unbolted old started. Son of a gun wouldn't come off. Right about the time I broke out the 18oz Eastwing and heavy duty flat head screwdriver my better judgement took over. Will be bringing it to someone that knows what the hell they are doing.

Make sure the battery is connected properly. Tighten the screws as much as possible.

It's for sure starter. Bang it with a wrench and it turns and fires right up.
