xr 125 won't start?

I have just changed the engine in my bike and wired all back as before. The strter motor does not spin but I get a clicking/shorting sound near the baterry. Wired the strater direct to the battery and it spun ok. Any ideas?

The battery is fully charged and I have traced the clicking to a small round tube thing (I know little about bike bits). I did use jump leads to connect to the satrter direct and it spun over fine. Just seems weird it was all working good before I changed the engine over.

or the battery doesn't have enough charge to turn the engine over.

always start with the basics,

bad connection. or starter selanoid faulty. thats whats making the clicking noise.
