MEP-804B I had a problem getting it started after purchasing turned switch to start and only click sound from relay, finally started after hours I don’t know why it decided to start, started multiple times that day after a week of not starting it went back to doing the same thing and haven’t started since . I would appreciate some help with this issue thanks.

Are you comfortable and or competent with a voltage meter?

On the back of the starter there's two large studs one is always live with 24 volt that goes to battery the other one goes to the motor you're also be a little wire on the back of the starter that's the trigger. Have a helper hold the switch and start when it fails to crank and measure the voltage on these three wires to ground. This will help determine whether it's a starter issue or a controlling issue
