Hey larry.  If you don't even hear the solenoid click it's not near the
starter.  Here is the wiring diagram:

The best bet is next time it happens, get a volt meter and "look" for the
open circuit.

When I turn the key, nothing happens except for a voltage drop. The solinoid

does not click. Starter and solinoid are a year old. I tried bypassing the 
keyswitch with 12 volts to the soliniod and no change. I can see the clutch 
safety switch is working because the voltage drop does not happen unless the

switch is depressed. I had a tech look at it and it started working again 
after he touched the solinoid switch with a probe. He suggested it might be 
an issue with the alarm?? or the key switch. How does the alarm work with 
the start cut? What about the relay for the starter, is that known to have 
issues?
Thanks for your response.
