2001 blaster wont start need some help

Yamahas4life

Hey guys i am new to this forum and was looking for some help. i just bought an 01 blaster not running, the guy i got it from said that the last time he got it started it backfired and turned off. i have cleaned out the carb and the fuel system i know these bikes come with coils how do i check and see if that might be my problem.... and could it be that the coil is not producing a spark... i would appreciate some feed back on somethings i could try to reslve this problem... thanks

Start with pulling the spark plug out of the head, reinstall the spark plug into the plug boot, hold it against the head and kick it over. The body has to make contact with the engine or frame to let the spark go thru the boot and plug. If you don't see a pretty bright spark you're screwed. Just kidding, but you'll have to read up here for how to test your coil and stator etc or go buy a manual and go thru the steps for troubleshoting for no spark. Don't forget to make sure the switchs are all on. Also I don't think the tors will keep it from sparking, just idling up if it's faulty.

take the stator cover off and pull the flywheel off and there is a little woodruff key in there on the shaft
