I just got an 02 LT80 for my daughter & when I got it the guy said it quit running while riding & woulnt start again...I messed around & finally got it to start when I drained th carb bowl....it will idle all day, but when i hit the trottle it wants to die....I did clean the carbs after this & still the same thing...I did notice crack that was fixed in the lower case by the recoil with JB weld & am now wondering if it crank seals or some thing,,,what could cuase this behavior????PLease helpppp

 

And you removed the jets and cleaned them plus you looked thru them to insure something isn't stuck in the main jet?

Check the compression.

 

I did.......I will have to check the compression......what should it be at?????

 

120 or so.

 

Also try a new plug, may be fouled.

 

Just re-read, The crack:: I think it's on the clutch cover not the cases. You can check to make sure. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

tried the compression...that is good....plug is good....replaced crank seals.....still the same thing.....would it be reeds?????....Any other ideas?????

 

We've went this far, might as well check the reed. FYI: put hex head bolts back in.
It will start but I'm starting to wonder about the stator and cdi. May have to do a ohm test if the reed isn't it.

 

would the cdi cause it to do this???if the cdi is bad woulnt it not start at all????

 

Should be more careful.This is dangerous
