Hello everyone! Newbie here.....
Hello All.
Just wanted to introduce myself a little bit. I am 39, married with 4 kids ages 12,6,4,4(twins). I work for Norfolk Southern Railroad as an locomotive systems electrician. 2005 Polaris 700EFI owner, former 2002 Polaris 500 H.O. Scrambler owner.
I have been reading these forums for about a week now since I just bought my kids an 1995 LT80. Bought it for a few hundred bucks knowing it didn't start. I never had a two stroke so this is all new to me.
After searching and doing some research, I finally got it running-Thanks to the information here. Also, I see that LT80 is the GURU of these little suzuki's. I have already learned from his, and some others advice to problems that were posted. Thank You.

Thanks everyone!
I actually learned a lot on here so far. I got my machine up and running (by researching posts on here) but I wanted to make sure it was safe for the kids-from an expert. The compression was low and it had other small problems. I was gonna take it to a dealer. Then I found out that LT80 (Jack Moore) wasn't too far from me, so I took my kids lt80 to him and he is checking it over and doing whatever it needs to be safe for my kids. I actually have more confidence in LT80 than a dealer after reading everyone's comments and his posts on here. He has a history of building top notch, reliable motors. He has a thorough knowledge and definitely knows these quads-inside and out. He is a straight shooter and does not bullsh!^ you into unnecessay add ons or parts not needed for your situation.
So, thanks all for the warm welcome. I look forward to reading posts from you all. I am not sure if I will ever have an answer for technical questions since I am new to all of this, but I will be here ---reading, researching!
I will try to posts a picture of my little ones on the quad when I get it back from Jack. Its not anything flashy, modded or anything but my kids love it! Especially with all the STEELERS decals on it! LOL My 6 year old is a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins fan. LOL
