Need some help from the electrical gurus out there.

Tried to start my ’98 Ranger 500 recently; the starter turned over but quickly spun down- just like if the battery was bad or undercharged. The batter was fairly old, so I went ahead and replaced it with a new one-but it still won’t start; it won’t even turn over now.

At this point all I know is that the battery is good. Unfortunately the Ranger is at my camp, about 50 miles away, and I haven’t had a chance to go through everything with a test meter; in the meantime I was hoping someone could give me some guidance.

If a starter fails, does it just not turn over, or would it spin down like I described? Could this be a ground problem? Any other suggestions as to where I should start?
