Sounds like a loose connection, a bad solenoid, or a problem with the motor. Look for the obvious first, loose connections, broken wire, connections that appear to have been hot...
You'll need a test light or volt meter. Since it it power up and power down, the motor should run and one solenoid should get power whenever it is activated.
The motor will look and act similar to a starter motor. If the click you hear is the solenoid on top of the motor, hold the up or down button, check for battery voltage or a bright test light on the main lug going into the motor. Check between the lug and the motor case. If you have power there, and the motor is not running, there is a problem with the motor, or if the motor and cables are getting hot, possibly the pump is locked up.
If there is no power to the motor, and the solenoid is energized, and there is power on the battery cable, the solenoid contacts are bad.
If you find a problem, chances are a starter/alternator shop can repair the motor or supply parts.
But whatever you do, be EXTREMELY CAREFUL working or reaching under there! Anything is possible with a malfunctioning lift. Don't give it a chance to get you!

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
