Hey I have a 1993 LT80 and today I was ridin it and all of a sudden it siezed up (not all the way) but it is very tough to turn over, I checked the oil line to the carb while turning it over and nothing came out. I took the oil pump off and the shaft that turns it inside isnt turning. I think the worm gear shaft that comes out horizontally from the engine is snapped off, can anyone tell me how much this is going to cost to fix?, Do i have to pull the side engine cover off? thanks

 

If you dont have the cash to fix it then premix your fuel. Sounds like you need a piston now and a bore job.

Def bore and piston kit. Turn the motor over once apart to see how the crank rolls (bearings).Check for any thumping,grinding,clicking, excessive side to to dide play in the rod,etc means.
Yes you need to remove the side cover. You must remove the lil black piece on the end of the crankshaft. It drives the pump.
You need to service the clutchs while in there.
Put a toothpick in the line and get a good synthetic oil and mix 32:1
Use Zuki parts. :0

 

ok i got the cover off and found out the 2 little prongs were bent out,[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] wierd how that happened, so i bent them back on and now it turns the shaft, now im just wondering how much oil should be coming out, right now at idle i get about a drop of oil thru the line every second, i ran premix just incase.. thanks for the answers guys

 

If you pull that black thing off the crankshaft, you will get no oil [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

As they said, I would strongly suggest you DC that oil injection.
That will save you from going through this again.
I've done it on both of mine, never had a problem......

Good Luck, let us know how things are going [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

hey, I see what your sayin about bypassing it and going premix, Its good for short rides and Racing Im sure, but Up in AK I ride long trails, and its nice to have a oil injection instead of the hassle of mixing when you are refueling at a gas station along the trail. I could bypass it but i really dont want to because then i have to carry extra oil with me, so im just wondering on how much oil is supposed to be coming out of the line? im getting about a drop of oil every second at idle and more throttle i get about 2 drops a second, is this normal or should i be getting more oil? thanks

 

Prolly enough oil. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
