Hi, my name is Dazzy and i am new to this site, I would like some help as my lt80 wont take throttle and it just seems to bogg down when i give it throttle, any info would be great. Thanks, Dazzy

 

Are you 300lbs?

 

Welcome to the forums Dazzy.
Have you cleaned the carb yet?

 

@LT80

Thanks, Yes i managed to clean the carb yesterday and it seems to be running fine now.

 

Ok, right i took the atv out for a run in the feilds and it seemed to be running fine for around about half an hour until it started to conk out again when i hit over over halfway on the throttle so i took it back and now im not sure what to do because i've cleaned the carb and it still conking out, any help, Thanks Dazzy.

 

"run in the feilds"... I clean the carbs on my buddies kids LT80's alot. They ride in a field behind his house. I couldn't believe the stuff that got in the carb and airbox.
What most don't realize is that the dirt comes in the vent. I feel that you should clean the carb again to make sure it just didn't get more dirt in it.
If it's clean, I'd do a compression check.

 

What do you mean when you say 'a compression check' im only a teenager so im not sure what you mean

 

Hi LT80 thanks for all of your advice so far, I asked my dad what a compression check is so now i know but he is wondering about 'boiling the carb' . He has heard about people saying to boil the carb and i was wanting to know more about and you know alot about atv's. I was also hoping you could tell me what the proper procedure is for cleaning the carb as i have attempted to clean it but not sure if i done it correctly though, thanks Dazzy.

 

take out both jets clean every passage with thin wire blow out with carb cleaner and air and install fuel filter if it doesnt have one.
