Let me start by saying I know this is a tractor forum-but there is a lot of knowledge out there and I would like to pick a few brains. With that being said my 99 honda will not start I replaced the battery-I had to charge it before I placed it on the atv. I have an ampmeter that shows the battery over 12.4 when under load for starting. It is making a noise when I try to start it ( a clicking noise from near the battery) Any ideas-my next guess is the sloenoid-How does one check to see if it is operational.
Thanks
PS does anybody know of any good atv forums

My 2001 Rubicon did the exact same thing, I could start it by recoil but not with starter. Spent a day tearing it apart this winter, all to find out it was just a poor connection on the battery. Those do not have automotive type connectors and it seemed my posotive was making a poor connection for some reason. sanded everything down and it now starts like new.

I would start by removing the battery cables, both the + and - and make sure the connections are clean at both ends, at the solenoid connection and the ground location as well at the battery itself.

You mean voltmeter.The battery is not under load when the solenoid is (clicking)so I would clean battery terminals first even if they look clean.Also check the other ends of the cables and loosen and move back and forth and retighten.You could well have a bad battery even if new as you have not had a load on it.You could have it load checked at most Auto Parts Stores FREE.
