what do you mean when it does catch ??
did hitting the starter do anything ?
i have had issues before with starters
normally i will pull them apart clean them up real good .
run a small break hone inside the solenoid. and just clean everything up. although the whole no click thing has got me.
could be wire issues. ground. have you tired jumping it straight over with a screwdriver ?

I had some jobs to do today (I run a computer repair business on my "days off" from my regular job) and so I didn't get to look at this. It'll be tomorrow night probably. I'm going to try jumping it with a screwdriver and see what happens.

It's funny- when I turn the key past ignition and to the start position, the lights dim, and that's the *only* thing that happens. I'm thinking its either the wire going to the solenoid, or its the ignition switch. I should know when I have some time to get dirty tomorrow evening.
