My lawnmower will not start. If I try to start it, it will crank a couple of time, but will not start. Then when I try again right after the first time, it doesn't even crank at all. I bought a new battery for it, but it is still doing the same thing. I can jump it out with jumper cables on my truck and it will work fine until I shut it off. Does anybody have any idea what else it could be?

Does it make a clicking sound when you turn the key.

Yeah, when I turn the key it does make a clicking sound.

That's a kawasaki engine.
