hey guys, i know this question seems funny but its really not, i have an 87 lt80 for my 2 kids, i have had it apart for a few years, got divorced and moved a few times since then, well i had jack fix the cylinder and mill the head for some more power, now i am finally getting ready to get it ready for the kids and i cant find the front cover with ignition switch for the life of me. does anyone have a wiring schematic or know how to by pass the need for the ignition switch so my kids can ride this weekend until i get a new cover and switch?

 

Well that sux.
You can try jumping wires. It shouldn't hurt anything if the wires are wrong.

 

yea i know, i have no luck lol. i just searched thru 34 pages on ebay and not a single key switch. i dont even know what wires off the harness go to the switch to even jump since i dont have the switch anymore. my kids are going to riot lol

jack, thanks for the help last year with the cylinder and head, everything came out perfect, my kids were so happy.

 

I think it's a 4 wire connector under the hood. I'm sure it's the only 4 wire connector so it should be able to be found.

 

i think i know which one, thanks alot, i think its the green one. i gotta email you today for some questions about getting some parts


here is some pics of my rim paint job yesterday lol

 

That turned out great....Ive been meaning to paint about 3 sets of steel wheels around here on my quads and never got to it. Did you have to do alot of prep work to get that kind of result? What type of paint did you use?

 

thanks man, i really didnt do too much prep work, i washed the dirt off them, used a wire brush to take the loose paint/rust off, then wiped them down with some denatured alcohol to remove any grease and loose dirt, then sprayed. my kid is sooooo happy now.

in case anyone needed to know how to jump the ignition switch, just jump the red wire and the orange wire, it worked perfect. unfortunately i think the float needle is messed up because it had fuel running out of the vent nipple on the carb.

 

does anyone have a spare carb float they want to sell? i broke mine yesterday, it was really brittle

 

I prolly have one around.
PM me w/your address.

 

pm sent, the head work you did made an huge difference, it pulls the front tires up with me on it at 200lbs without trying, i can only imagine what a full motor built by you can do!!
