    what kind of sparkplug

    Definitely check spark and see if fuel flows freely. Unless you trust the previous owner ive always found it better to troubleshoot problems no matter what the seller says because sometimes it can save you a lot of money. Im new to blasters and common problems arent something I know quite yet...

    and thanks jus_me! I think ill definitely buy a few jets from a local dealer and try them out. I didnt know the oil injec block off could require richer jetting! thanks

    Carb help!!

    thanks for the fast reply! Glad i caught it early haha! Another question!! I put TDR reeds in my bike, really the only mod that could make a big difference to airflow. Do I move up a jet size or two? The cylinder gets pretty hot in about 5 minute of riding but i hear thats completely normal? Im...

    2000 Blaster Project

    So I guess its time for a little update on my blaster. I got the cylinder checked again by a machine shop and turns out it actually did need a bore. I went on the fact that it looked pretty good but I wanted to be sure and I'm definitely glad I got it checked out. I ordered .20 piston and rings...

    2000 Blaster Project

    I guess i'll stick with my stock cylinder! The machine shop said I should go with second overbore just to be safe. Will I have to make any significant jetting changes or anything due to a bigger bore? And yeah I'm on the hunt for a used fmf header for a reasonable price, power isn't really my...

    2000 Blaster Project

    Well the partsdiscounter place SEEMS legit, emphasis on seems. Yeah I realize I could just bore it but itd come to 220 dollars for piston and rings and the bore, when I could get all that stuff (supposedly bolt-on) for 160. :/

    2000 Blaster Project

    Got my crank back from the machine shop today, bought brake cleaner instead of degreaser (cheaper but works better) and have everything to seal up my bottom end. Now I'm faced with a question. Bore my cylinder (2 oversizes) or buy the complete cylinder kit and piston off of ebay. It would amount...

    2000 Blaster Project

    Also, any suggestions on what paint I should use for frame painting? I plan on using plenty of clear coat! I'm going with the original silver frame/blue plastics color scheme. :D

    2000 Blaster Project

    Appreciate the feedback guys! :) I think wheel spacers are in the near future! I want to mod it but also maintain reliability. Nothing to big, just subtle things here and there to make it better overall! Thanks :)

    2000 Blaster Project

    Hey guys! :) I thought I'd show you the blaster I'm working on! I'm new to blasters, and I understand that many people that have owned a blaster, have owned more than one! I'd love to get advice from you guys as this build progresses and would be more than happy to hear your feedback whether its...
