OK I just got my daughters 03 (I think) lt80 all put back together. I got it from a farmer and the entire intake, air filter, fan, clutch case, and the starter were all packed full of corn and grain.. I swear I will kill any mouse I ever see again!!!
After basically a complete tear down to go over it and remove all the crap, everything pretty much checked out and seems fine. I cleaned the carb and air filter, and then put in fresh fuel as well. This is a low hour machine, the factory tires are at least 3/4 tread.
Anyways after I put it all back together it wont run right, it idles fine, but when you gas it wide open it takes off like crazy for about 10-15 feet and then wants to die, like its running out of air or fuel. Its choking out bad. Then you have to let off and lightly feather the throttle to get it going again, if you run it really easy at 1/8" throttle slow and stead it will go all day... I put the pet cock on all 3 settings and there was no difference.
Also This is a bone stock machine, other than a uni air filter and the oil injection was removed.. what is bogging this thing down so bad?
One other question while I am on here. There was a small hose on the right side of the machine with a gold clamp on the end of it, its about a 1/8" black vent hose that runs up under the tank with the starter wire ect... and I have no clue where it connects to or its function? If someone could help me here to that would be awesome... thanks a lot
