I have a 91 lt 80 im having trouble, I have great power and ride for a few minutes and then it dont have any power want barly move,wait a few minutes and it comes back alive. It does this over and over. Any ideas?

 

I would start by cleaning out the carb and make sure you have enough gas and have the correct mixture...Clean out the jets making sure you can see light through the holes and it should help...If that doesn't work I would say you might be due for a new reed valve or your compression may be off, but I would clean the carb first and see if that helps along with a new spark plug and a cleaned filter.

 

I put a brand new carb in, new airfilter and new spark plug. same problem,i will try new reeds. Thanks for the reply.

 

It's either a plugged pipe or a coil problem.

 

I cleaned out the pipe, can i test the coil? and if i can how? Can it also be a bad spark plug cap?

 

The cap sucks at best. Duct tape it down and see if that helps. A NGK cap for a Arctic Cat snowmobile works great and never comes off.
You can test the coil and stator with an ohm meter but I do not know the correct readings. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Hally,
Works are about the only sensable option for shocks. About $500 US for all 3.
I use Douglas wheels and cheap knobby tires.
