for some reason it will start occasionally. i changed the neutral start switch, checked all the grounds. it started when i bought it and when i had it home for about the first day. thought neutral switch because i could move the gear shift and it would crank. some one suggested starter? could it be a switch for the clutch? any help would be greatly appreciated. i did put in a new battery to.

i did change the starter about 2 months ago. worked for about a month and a half. now it is not starting again. i was thinking it is in the wiring from relay? will double check positive cable. could possibly be bad. did change relay and no luck lol. thanks for your help.
