I used it hard all day, then it would not start, starter won't turn. Battery is good, lights are bright, full of gas, in neutral, brake on, etc. Just a single "click" under the floor after the key is turned. Sound is NOT coming from the engine or starter, I can't see where it is coming from. I have not taken the cowling off yet.

Any ideas on what to check first? Buy a new starter and install myself? How much do you think?

Thanks in advance!

Check all your connections and make sure they are bright and tight. If everything checks good you can jump a wire directly to the starter to test it, if it turns over its in the solenoid switch, if not it could be weak battery, bad switch, or a safety switch somewhere. you'll just have to check eertything out to find the problem.
