eh, couldn't get a cable, so I cut the carb side metal piece off along with the cable under it and gained the 1/2" I needed but it felt like the carb slide is what's sticking. I had it going most of the way but a little sticky at times still. I ended up re-jetting it as well, it has a 26mm (on the air inlet side at least it said 26) mikuni carb with a 210 main, so I pulled the front variator off and did some no load rev testing and to get it clean I had to set the needle to the highest setting, so I figured it needed a leaner jet, so I got a 200 and a 190 and put the 200 in and put the needle back to the middle setting and it revs without bogging now, but I need to see if I need it leaner or richer now and go from there... I'll play with the needle and if it needs to go richer I'll adjust the needle lower if it needs leaner I'll try the 190 jet...
also pulled the head gasket off as I heard it would raise compression like milling the head. dunno how thick the gasket is but it still ran fine so I imagine it's ok... I have a spare jug and cyl and a stock carb so if I can't tune it I'll just throw on the 1/2 size over stocker I have and run that. but I really want to get one of the sets ported a little or port it myself.. just not sure what I wanna do really...
it also has a pull starter (ours only had electric it's an aftermarket/upgrade part) as well as new plastics and a half good motor... the motor is cracked at the back so I can use the crank and pulleys and such to make my other LT 80 run now. ordered a gasket set and pulled the motor. anyway, here's some pix with the larger tires. I do have spacers front and back too so it almost looks too wide lol
$60 w/4 lug ITPs... figured I'd sell the wheels and have almost free tires... or at least they'd cover my mounding cost of $20 at the local zuki shop...
