Question
I go to start the cr and there is nothing all light come on but no click at the starter. there is power to the starter but nothing. is there a fuseable link in the loop i should check before i pull the starter out?  please advise were to go next.

Answer
You have power to the starter by the battery terminal,does the other terminal have power when you turn it to the start position?You can try jumping the two terminals to see if in fact the starter turns over.From there tracing the wire would be the next step.I don't know if there is a fusible link,I don't believe so,I would have to look at a wiring diagram.
