    New Horse In The Stable

    I will inquire about the recall. I was able to give the blaster a good running yesterday. No leaks! Ran strong!

    New Horse In The Stable

    Chasing tail. Until today! This morning I checked the motor and what did I see. More oil on the bottom of the stator cover. So this afternoon I pulled the stator cover off and noticed the the oil was just on the gasket of the stator. A clean paper towel was used to wipe the inside of the...

    Ok. Cleaned and dried entire stator well area of case. Checked it today. No oil. Re-checked leak down and still held air. I put it back together and re-torqued all the case bolts. I replaced the stator screws with bolts and was able to properly torque them. I ran it for a short time and parked...

    Yes. Pulled it apart and leak down tested it with the stator plate removed to have a good visual of seal.

    New Horse In The Stable

    Ok. Found a problem and need some advice. Yesterday when I was in the garage I noticed a smal (half dollar size) wet spot under the motor. After wiping floor down and underside of motor I found that it is coming from the stator cover. I removed the cover and see that the gasket is really oiled...

    Took a few pictures of the ride height as it is setup using 300ex front Works Dual Rate shocks and the 400ex rear shock. What a difference in ride!

    Thanks! The blaster completes the family of 2 strokes now. Daughter has an LT80 and my young lad has a Predator 90.

    A couple more upgrades came in the mail. My 400ex rear shock arrived. Bushings should be here tomorrow. Put a set of nice 300ex works shocks on the front. Whew. What a difference in ride there. It sits a little lower but still has a good stance. I will try to get a few pictures up later.

    I thought I measured it correctly. I, being heavier than my wife, layed on seat and checked free play. It was about 1.5 inches. Now is it supposed to be @ 1.5 total or in each direction. It is a non o-ring chain if that has anything to do with it.

    Importance of leakdown test

    Good advice. I bought my wife's blaster and it was locked up. Leak down test showed severe leak at crankcase vent. I pinched off hose and re did test. Held 5 lbs for 15 min. My problem ended up being a broken piston skirt and cracked case. Tig welded it up and did the leak down after the...

    It's all over but the cryin. Motor went together well except for the Achilles heal. I misplaced the damn woodruff key! Went to dealer and scored a new one along with a few extra parts like exhaust springs and some oil. Today was the big day. I double checks my fluids and she fired up on the...

    New Horse In The Stable

    at least I made good use of my down time waiting for my top end. I was able to clean my shop and make a tool to torque my cylinder base nuts. I also "Hinson" modded my clutch basket and inner clutch boss. I also realized that the PO wasn't running chain rollers, so...... Made some of...

    Thanks! I have just as much fun working and cleaning the quads as I do riding them! The carb spacer is something that I didnt think about. Tomorrow we will find out if it fits.. UPS tracking shows my KOR prepped top end will be here TOMORROW!

    New Horse In The Stable

    Yup. The bushings from KOR are all ordered up. As far as the previous setup. I will see how they are but eventually I will send them to Hygear Suspension in Ithaca NY to have them along with the rear 400ex shock rebuilt and setup for her. I sent the used works that are on my LT to them. AWESOME...

    New Horse In The Stable

    Ok. Almost there. Sold some left over parts and acquired a CHEAP set of 300ex Works Shocks. Now I've been doing my research and I know they are like 1.5 inch shorter. What do you think about extending my lower A Arm shock mounts @ 1.5 inch to compensate? This winter, after summer riding...
