Right on, thanks. I wasn't thinking about ebay. But it looks like the best place to get one. I guess I should get an e-start while I'm at. I'm pretty sure these symptoms are a bad starter since the relay is good. Thanks again!

If the engine loses compression, you will not hear any drag on the starter. On a two-stroke engine, the first sign of low compression is not wanting to idle. If you keep running, it eventually dies and won't start. This just happened to our lt80 a few months ago.
You may want to listen to LT80 before buying other parts and check to see if the piston is moving up and down in the cylinder.

Yeah, that makes sense. My Lt80 ran and idled great then just would not start. You press the start button and the relay makes that buzzing sound. How the do you check the compression w/o a way to turn the engine over?
