No PDF style owners manual here on this forum. But if your looking for one your local dealer can usually get you one for around $20. Or you can check out a site called Tradebit. They have various owners/service manuals for all types of atv's and whatnot. They are PDF style manuals and range in price. So just a couple options for you to choose from. And welcome to the forum.

 

I got a 1984 lt 185 mostly stock its pull start in decent condition but is a pain in the ass starting and burns oil heavy when its running. I am assuming valve seals and clean up spark plug may be needed. Im just now been involved with small engines for go karts and hobby reasons about a year of experience under my belt... should i attempt to replace valve seals myself should i fix something else ? im not a machanic but i can figure out with internet and some advice.

 

Yes, learn about your machine
