I have an lt 80 that is my sisters quad i am fixing it for her and it seems to be boging down.
i cleaned the carb and the air filters but it still does it and i dont know why tho.
Any info about it woudl be great help
Thanks
mitch

 

What kind of age is the quad, has it been setting for awhile, and does it idle fine? Give us a few more details if you could.

 

Welcome to the forums Mitch.
Did you actually remove the jets when you cleaned the carb? Sometimed that makes the difference. Does it seem to have good compression?
All in all, I'm thinking the clutchs need serviced.
Keep us informed of the progress please [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

it has been running for quite some time we (my sister and some of her friends were driving it)
it is in dicednt condition adn it runs strong when it did it had a new motor not to long ago and we jettet it for a DG pipe"nice"
i took the carb off because it started to bog down because i thought the carb had some dirt or some think stuch in the float
but when i put it back on it did the same thing

thanks mitch

Check the air cleaner, maybe it needs a good cleaning and a oil bath.After you wash the air cleaner with a soapy water gently rince and ring out gently, let it air dry in a clean place, then
let it soak up some filter oil and gently work that in and give that a try. Hope that helps!!

 

all ready did that
i have done everything possible i think at lease by cleaning it to make it run right so im guessing its soemthing internal
maybee engin wise

 

Your problem sounds like the one I had with my son's LT 80. I did the same things you did and nothing worked. The problem with mine was the diaphram on the petcock was getting stuck. Put a Banshee petcock on it and it solved the problem.

 

Everybody here's got GOOD ADVICE for ya.....maybe another thing while ya got the carb off
is to check those reeds, make sure theres no cracks or gaps in them lots of little stuff we all
are mentioning will help you check the trouble spots... Good Luck !! Let us know what ya come up with k.
