98 conquest starter problem

I have a starter problem on my 98 conquest it will start fine for 10 or 15 times and all of a sudden i only get a click on the solenoid I have to start it using a jumper from the batt to the starter should i just opt for a new starter

Have you checked for any loose/broken wires/connections????

+1 on checking the wires. Grounds have tendency to come loose on me a lot.

bolts on your ground can rust and inhibit the flow of electricity, but this sounds like bad contacts in the starter solonoid. Clean your grounds and it will get a little better but won't go away if your sol. contacts are bad I wonder if you can put an old ford remote start sol. on it like they used to bolt to the fender well?

Thanks for your replies will check those wires

If you are jumping the wire to the solenoid and it is starting, may be a ground or the switch, try some penetrant or contact cleaner in the key slot.

Sometimes it is the starter solenoid itself. The one on my hustler went out after the last fall Busco. One trip and it died.

Solenoids on Kaws are part of starter.
