do you hear your starter relay from the driver side clicks?
or

check to see if the harness was loose from the starter could be a easy fix

or

get a vom, check the voltage from the bolt where u screws the harness on the starter to see if u are getting voltage.

s13 = Starter relay. It's between the battery and the fender. It's blue.

S14 = Clutch Interlock relay. Inside the passenger side relay box.

im guessing this has been spontaneous,

if your solenoid blew, you'd hear spinning but no crank ( starter head wont pop )
if the brushes are dead, the starter wont spin.... ( but this happens gradually )

if you're starter is somehow dead... pm me I have a rebuilt sr starter that im selling for 80 bux.
