I've got a 02 SJ that I haven't rode in two years. I fogged the engine when it was put away. I can't get it to turnover. It won't do anything. About twenty percent of the time it will make one clicking noise and that is it. The battery is fully charged but is about 5 yrs old sealed type. The ski has MSD enhancer, FPP, ADA head blah blah all the usual mods. My guess would be the starter solenoid, battery or the engine is locked up a bit. Is this possible after only two yrs and the engine was fogged? Looking for suggestions on how to fix/ diagnose. Thanks!

Furst things first, pull the plugs and see if you can turn it over by hand. Battery is likely toast after that much time but starter connections can corrode, starter or Bendix can seize up, Pump liner swells and binds the impeller and a multitude of other small little gremlins. If it turns over by hand it will at least narrow down the list of possibilities.
 
It's the battery; there's not enough voltage to open the solenoid. Buy a new one, then give it a go. If it still does 'nothing', test the solenoid and starter.
 
Id also pull the plugs and see if you can turn it the couplers by hand. You can always use jumper cables but yes, hopefully it's just an old battery with not enough juice to crank her over.
