starter help
Well I took the KFX80 out to tha sand and we were at 5000 feet or so and it wouldnt idle so she keep having to restart it and she said it died then wouldnt start, when I try to start it I can hear the starter turn but it isnt turning over the motor I dont know where to start looking ? if a starter is something that goes out or if I should take it apart and see if the motor locked up. Jack need some help again :D

Hmmm, this is where the pull start comes in handy.
See if the motor is free and if the starter is turning the motor over.
This could just be the starter.
If the motor is spinning with the starter,a compression test is in order.

The motor is not turning over it sounds like the starter is but there is no drag sound at all comeing from the electric motor. and yes I'm sure I spled that wrong I drive a truck.lol sorry :)

Lets double check.. Remove the spark plug and see if the piston is going up/down or is stuck.

that deal in my hand is making the buzz noise. I still havent got time to get into it. I was going to order a pull starter for it anyone know what year came with the pull start?I'm thinking it needs a new electric starter. every time she would stop it would die at the hi elevation then she would crank on the starter then it would die and start it again.

it could be just the relay bad, have someone with a meter check it. i was told they sold the pull starters in canada, not sure if thats true.

Same Thing
Hi, Ive got the exact same problem. Did the starter fix it? I tried a new relay and got the same out come. I'm thinking wiring or a bad starter and I'm leaning towards the starter. Thanks for any any info you have in advance.

There were no pull starts provided on LT80's any year..
Gotta buy em. :)
$75 or so if I remember correct.
So was the piston stuck?
