I have a MTD that on the manual just says series 760-770. This was given to me, so I don't know a lot about it. I have tried starting it, new battery, new solenoid and fresh gas. When I go to start it, there is just a clicking sound coming from the area of the solenoid, under the seat, left corner. It was doing that, so I thought that maybe the new solenoid was bad or I had hooked it up wrong and shorted it out or something, so I replaced it and still just get a clicking noise. Any ideas as to what to try next to get this thing going?

We really need the engine make and numbers.
In the mean time pull out the spark plug(s) and try to rotate the engine by hand.
