Is the linkage, clutch or their corresponding switches activating/bad? There can also be a click if there's a relay, but usually the click from the start solenoid is usually loud enough that you'd hear it. The large solenoid contacts get burnt in time and it needs to be replaced; even though they're large they get burnt from carrying such a heavy current through them.
