I checked solenoid last night all looked good to me ikl check about the brake maybe the wiring is all wrong or something not sure the spades dont look like they have been replaced.

 

So update i purchased a new relay so ot isnt the solenoid i dont think and also it doesnt matter if the brake lever is pulled up or not it still trys to start iver way, does this mean i have it wired wrong ?

 

Looking like it is the wiring. Here is an LT80 diagram, as they made them for so long, several different wiring looms were used, so your bike may not match this diagram completely.

 

thanks mate im gonna look over it all its sending me crazy🤣

 

Thanks for everyones help much appreciated finally sorted it!!!

Thanking us is fine, but nobody else with the same problem, is going to know how to fix it if you don't say how you fixed it.

 

I had the wrong diagram for my year and got a couple mixed up, also it wasn't making best connection well on run on the switch! I come back to it today and now it doesn't work again im useless, now it just does nothing when i press the electric start

 

Check that run switch again, check the brake switch is on properly, check the fuse hasn't blown and check if that cut out button under the right rear wheelarch has popped out. If it has, check that the cylinder isn't full of fuel by taking the plug out and turning the engine over. Safety tip, stop it from sparking before you do this, I have set two LT80s on fire when a spark has ignited the fountain of fuel flying from the plug hole.

 

thanks for ur help i think when i tightened the tank and fenders on i disturbed something, messed with loom and all was good so i thought ha she starts up rode for 3/4 min and then dies out, could this be something 2 do with the new piston and head i have give her? It starts back up straight away then died after riding 3 minutes

 

I doubt if anything to do with the new top end could cause this, except a dud plug. Most likely fuel starvation, blocked tank vent, faulty fuel tap, etc. though electrical components can cause this by breaking down when warm. A loose wire can cause an intermittent fault. There are so many possibilities, you just have to eliminate one possible cause at a time.
