The engine might be getting flooded, you can deflood it if you pull the EGI fuse out, turn the engine over with the throttle fully open, put the EGI fuse back in and the engine should clear itself of fuel.

Although if you are saying it clicks it might be a bad contact/sticking on the starter motor (the clicking is the solinoid to engage the starter motor not being able to fire)

Common fault, its the starter solenoid I think. Mine does it, I\'ve resided the whole power supply and relay mech. I just live with it as I can\'t be arsed to remove the starter.
