I took the srarter off it does work, then I put it back on just a loud clunck. not a clunck like a dead battery, just a loud clunck.
I think the engine is locked up.
I am not at my house I may need to get a large wrench and try to turn it over by hand.

The starter could pass a bench test, but not be able to turn the engine. If the intake filter got wet, then I assume that the starter was submerged in water. If it turns out that you can turn the engine by hand (I always use a socket on the crankshaft bolt)with the spark plugs still out, then you probably have a bad starter.
