Mitsubishi MT3201D
I can't get my Mitsubishi MT3201D started. When I turn the key, all I get is a load click from the solenoid - the motor doesn't even appear to try to turn over. I can turn the motor over by hand, so I know the motor's not locked up. I do sometimes see a spark by the solenoid when I turn the key, but I have checked the wiring and it all seems to be good, and the battery is fully charged. I am wondering if the starter could be locked up. Does that even happen? Is there anything else it could be? Is there anything I can do short of replacing the starter to make sure it is the problem?

If I do have to replace the starter, how do I go about finding a replacement for it? I know there are some people on here who sell parts for Mitsubishis, but is a starter something I might be able to find at Napa.

Never mind. I got it started today. When I checked the wiring, I forgot about the wire from the solenoid to the starter, and that was the culprit.
