remove relay from holder by sliding down. Unplug both connectors. The Big connector is connected to the starter. The clutch pedal.

To test if the relay is teh issue, put a jumper wire between the two BIG connectors on the harness side. Make sure its in Neutral and if it starts. The relay is bad.

You can also test the relay with a DMM/VOM. But since they normally just wear out. They work occasionally.

Here is the schematic.
