Default I just bought a used 2003 LT80 Help

I cleaned the air filter and carb and put in new fuel and oil.
1. It will run with the choke on but will die if idle without choke. What do I do? It's all stock.
2. On the left hand side of the engine above the Suzuki name there is a hole that looks like it should either have a pull rope coming out of it or a dip stick. What am I missing?
3. Is there any place for engine oil or is it just what gets mixed with the gas from the oil res under the seat?
4. Is there a place I can down load the owner's manual?

It seems like a great bike and my daughter loves it. I just want to make sure it brings her a couple of years of fun.

you may take carb off,turn upside down,should be 2 jets that you can screw all the way out.take them out and make sure the holes are not clogged.There is a hole on motor to put transmission oil in.I think there is a plug hole to pour oil in and a screw or plug about 4 or 5 inches below that that you take out so when you pour the oil in when it starts coming out of the lower screw or plug hole then your transmission is full.the book says to use sae20w-40 motor oil for the transmission.I think the plug your missing might be for the oil plug.Go to bikebandits.com click OEM parts and pull up your lt80 and maybe figure out what your missing.

its a great quad for the kids and adults!!! if you sure that you got carb clean. thers only one screw thats you idle adjustment. try that. if not trycleaning carb again. after that its still not running check the compression. as for the hole on the side. if there is a hole thats where the pull rope is. remember these did not come with a pull rope. its an option that they sell. oil for the motor comes from the tank under the seat. it is injected into the motor. just fill and go. there is oil in the trans. I think 4ozs. as for a owners manual look at ebay. or check you private messages for a message from me.
