Had me old r850 on charge and just been out to start her. Tries to turn over and then I get a machine gun rat a tat sound. Am I right in thinking its a starter motor problem.
 
Sounds like the battery, despite being on charge I suspect it has died. Try a jump start or new battery.
 
Got a multimeter? Could check the battery voltage. Reminds me, need to charge mine.

If you do this don’t be fooled by a good reading, i.e. 12v or more, it’s how it reads under load that will tell you all you need to know.
 
She be a runner. Appears my old optimate might be the problem. Used a good battery and charged original
With another charger. Swopped back and original is ok.
