Message	if I leave all the plugs out it can turn the engine, but once a cylinder has a plug in it the starter can't get past compressing it and proceeds to click over and over. Driving me crazy.... I even tried another starter and it still does this. Are the contacts on the starter not good enough? I'm using just the jumper cable clamps and the ignition wire, but I swore that's all I did last time.
