So i did the heat cycles fine, tried a 250 jet and it was rich so i put the 240 jet and got the carb tuned in pretty good. I took the quad on its maiden voyage like 5 mins ago and it rode ok except when holding the gas a little bit at idle or at slow ride and it starts missing like crazy. Is it...

when the previous owner had the frame powder coated he must have never reinstalled that spring. That hole was still covered with powder coat

Perfect. Where the spring hooks on to the frame underneath the cable, is that a hole there? Kinda hard to tell with the shadow.

I'm still pretty new to blasters, the quad I got needed the rear brakes rebuilt (frozen/broken adjuster had to be drilled and retapped for a new brake cable). Had I known about the easy hydro brake conversion I would have just done that. However I just ordered a new spring that goes on the...

I let it soak in wd-40 for a couple days then taped up the threads and put the old used base gasket on to minimize the chance of damage. Then I carefully took a big pair of pliers and squeezed it to semi-crush it. Once it was more of a oval shape I worked it back and forth until it was loose...

Of course I got it out right after I posted this, but thanks anyway

I'm in the process in rebuilding the top end on my wife's blaster and when I pulled the jug the dowel pins looked pretty beat and I ordered new ones. However one of them is stuck in the crank case pretty good and I have know idea how I'm going to get it out without damaging the case or the stud...

I bought a 1999 blaster that needs a little bit of work for my wife and one of the problems was the rear brake kept getting hung up and the cable was in pretty tough shape, however the pads still had plenty of life left. Knowing the brakes were mechanical and not hydraulic, I figured they were...

. Thanks

Excellent info, I already got a leak down tester that will be done before it gets started. Also I knew about chopping the plug but it is nice to be able to compare to pics on this forum, and your write up on the airscrew was very helpful and easy to understand.

Hey, I'm new to blaster forums. I bought my wife a 99 Blaster that had a blown top end due to previous owner cutting and plugging the oil injection lines and improperly mixing the gas. I am pretty mechanically inclined, however I never made any jetting changes to any carb. The quad has a stock...
