Good afternoon everyone! I'm new to the forum, and thought I'd introduce myself. I live just outside of Athens, and when I'm not working, I'm usually with my family on a mountain bike trail.
I purchased an 80 series (1993) earlier in the month. I knew when I bought it that it didn't run, but I also knew enough mechanically to know that the engine isn't seized. Now it could be dusted and the transmission could be toast, but I haven't gotten that far into the project yet. In full disclosure, I have limited mechanical experience. I have successfully installed engines in Bobcats, but those have been complete replacements, not tear down/ rebuild. I have tested my 80 enough to know that it doesn't get fire to the plugs. It's possible that it also doesn't get fuel to the engine. Battery is fully charged. Windows, headlights, and other accessories work. But I'm not sure where to go from here! Any help is greatly appreciated!
