Amplifier assembly making a clicking noise

[Tourtney]

Hi i have a 1970 60 hp johnson 60esl70b and when it is hooked up the amplifier makes a clicking noise is that normal?

By the way on lower voltages its more of a buzzing. If i test amps on the clipper panel for the two wires from the amp that have voltages by hooking the other multimeter lead also ground and the setting at either 100m or 10m but not 10 the noise stops.

Do you have any spark ?? If not your amplifier may be going bad or is.

Take the battery to a parts house and have it load tested.
