    1999 blaster won't start

    Ohhh that's what I was thinking you meant because I know it as bump start. I was thinking about that, but the main problem is that neither my rear nor my front brakes are connected and I don't have the clutch lever connected either, so I just pushed in down my driveway in neutral and then kicked...

    1999 blaster won't start

    thanks so much, I think I need three posts or something to PM you, unless there is another (sorry I'm still new here). I'm gonna take out the flywheel again and replace the key because I do have a new one and I'll let you know how that works.

    I just checked the reeds again and ended up flipping one side as it had a small gap to allow air back, but still no luck when kicking. I may just replace the ignition coil and see if that helps.

    1999 blaster won't start

    Have not done a compression test, I need a kit for that so I'm gonna try and get one at PepBoys this week. As for the pull-start as dumb as this may sound, how would I go about doing that?

    1999 blaster won't start

    Here are the reeds. It's my first two stroke so I don't have any idea how to really check them. As for the spark, I used a spark checker and it's getting spark, so plug is good and the fuel is newly mixed and tank is on reserve with gas getting into the carb properly

    1999 blaster won't start

    I just installed the flange and have the pipe and exhaust securely on the bike and it's still not turning over. Maybe it could be a carb mixture issue? At this point I really don't know what it could be

    1999 blaster won't start

    The previous owner said it was running at one point before the rebuild and not after. Said it fired once but that was it. When I cleaned the carb I blew all the holes with compressed air and cleaned the jets with a tool. I didn't adjust the float, but it didn't seem warped or cracked in any way...

    1999 blaster won't start

    No doesn't seem to backfire at all. The previous owner said he had just rebuilt the top end so it's practically brand new, but I'll check it anyway. Hopefully I can get the flange kit soon and get this thing running lol

    1999 blaster won't start

    Ok that definitely makes sense. I checked the reeds and they seem fine to me, I have pictures if needed. Actually this could be an issue but I didn't know if it was. I don't have a flange kit for the pipe (FMF Fatty) so the pipe is ON the head but not really sealed and the exhaust is slipped on...

    1999 blaster won't start

    Ok so just checked and it is getting spark. If this is a timing/stator issue, would it be easier to just buy a new stator for around $40 instead of messing around with timing advancement and such?

    1999 blaster won't start

    I replaced gas and just cleaned the carb as well so maybe it needs to be tuned or jetted? Not sure seems like the options are down to gas or electrical here from what you both have told me

    1999 blaster won't start

    I'm going to check the spark now, but had flywheel pulled and the woodruff key seemed to be in good shape although flywheel was a bit scratched

    1999 blaster won't start

    Hey everyone, Bought a 1999 blaster back in winter with a fresh top end and the guy said it didn't start and maybe needed a timing advancement or something else. It's now spring and I've just put back together the flywheel as the stator screws are stripped to prevent timing advancement...
