However, it sounds more to me like there was only just enough juice in the battery to turn the starter, but not enough to spin the Bendix into position. Now there is not enough to spin the starter, i.e. the solenoid is just clicking. Try charging up thee battery before you change th starter motor. If it is the Bendix, I have repaired some on B&S engines, so try to get a repair kit rather than a new unit. Saves money! Could be the Bendix gears.
