Rancher 420 won't start, solenoid just clicks
Hi,
I bought a used Honda Rancher 4X4 420 2013 ES this summer. I ran it a few time around the yard and all worked fine. It has about 905 miles and 203 hours on it.
I final got a chance to ride it in Mid October. Rode fine until the 4th ride. After about 200 yards it just stopped. The Engine and Temp light came on, engine died. I turned it off and then back on, shifted into N and the engine started. About 2 minutes later it died again. Now the only thing that happens is that the Solenoid just clicks.
I bought a new battery since it had a used one. That made no difference.
Volts 12.5V
Under Load with the solenoid clicking Volts 6V
Display: Has a N for Neutral and after I try to start it and the solenoid clicks the Gear Display shows a -.
Turn the key on and off and it shows N again.
The gears will change but stop at 3rd gear, won't go higher but goes back down to N.
I thought my next step would be to remove the PCM/EMC and test it as the Shop Manual says.
Any better ideas?
Thank you for any help.

While not the same brand I had the same sort of problem with mine. Make sure the batter has a good charge then tap on the starter with a hammer. If there is more than just a click when you try to start it after tapping it, then you got a bad starter and it needs to be replaced and that did the trick for mine.
