Hey guys, new here but maybe some of you guys can help. Picked up a clean 2002 blaster for $200. Sat for years and years, "ran when parked" stored in a garage. Brought it home, drained the gas, cleaned the carb and started first kick! Ran like sh*t but still started and idled. New plug, cleaned the carb a couple times, bypassed the tors and blocked off the oil injection still nothing. Reeds are mint also. Every now and then it will backfire. Feels like I have compression, any ideas? This is my 4th blaster and have never run into anything where I couldn't fix it!

I'd look into electrical next......
pull all butt connectors apart coming out of stator, CDI, kill/key switches and clean the connections
clean the black wire ground at the coil, remove bolt and clean up eyelet and frame area to bare metal.
possibly rusted flywheel from sitting ? you'll need a blaster specific flywheel puller from ebay for $10-ish to get it off, lightly sand/clean the magnets and pickup surfaces
 
A crankcase flooded with fuel and oil will present the same symptoms.

Is the plug very wet when you pull it out.
Plug is dry the last couple times I pull it, although the intake is soaked(before the reeds)
 
you should really check the compression with a gauge that can be had at any auto parts store for 30 bucks.
you should be able to see through the pilot jet in carb when held up to a light.

if it was mine and i tried everything that you have
and i felt i did these things the right way
i would
at least get a real compression test on it:)
120psi would be normal
before i rip things apart.
strong spark/spark at the right time=flywheel key
fuel/air enough compression it should go booom
it was probably parked and sold for 200 bucks for a reason.
While we are throwing out possibles it could even be a flywheel magnet came loose or
previous owner thought it was the stator and threw a 30 dollar stator that wont work and if it did not for more then a week lol.....
just throwing out ideas loving the massachusetts plate's on cars hehe
i know it is a big guessing game for all of us but
start eliminating the possibilities with hard facts:)
 
alot more to be said but lets get a real compression test
spark test
how did you go about the tors bypass?
on your year engine it should have just been unplugging the brain that it under front nose.
