An old quad 80 has been donated to me. The donor never tried to operate it. The original owner told them the starter is bad. Is there anyway to push start the thing?

 

I have a lt160 which i think is just a larger version of a lt80. To start mine when the battery is dull, I take it to the top of a hill. Pull the quad in fourth or fifth, pull up just slightly on the foot shifter to engatge the clutch adn start rolling downhill. WHen you get some good speed built up release the shifter lever. Mine usually starts right up.

 

No you cannot push the LT80 to start it. It's belt driven and it just won't work.
They sell starters on ebay or you can get a pull start for it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Right, this thing is an automatic, it has no gear shifter.
