    Help - Blaster won't kick start.

    Funny - I am reading this now - AFTER my brother called and let me know that the piston "sploded". Oh well, I am going to get a full top end build (was planning on it anyway) but you live and learn. I actually brought the cylinder up to the cycle shop to see about getting it honed but...

    Help - Blaster won't kick start.

    I just wanted to give an update for those that come here looking for help with this problem. As I said, we pulled the head off and the rings were badly worn (piston and cylinder were fine).

    I don't have a compression tester. Yesterday I swapped air filters with the blue one and also the spark plug (figured what the hell - it can't hurt). Tried to start but wouldn't. Pushed it off and it started fine. While it was running I pulled the top off the air box and felt very little...

    Help - Blaster won't kick start.

    I swapped out the carb and the one that came off worked on the other blaster (it really is nice to have one to swap parts with). I'm starting to think it is the air filter.

    Help - Blaster won't kick start.

    I looked up the reed cage. I had the intake and everything (yesterda) off so I could clean it and I took off the reed cage but I didn't know to look for anything broken. I will pull that tonight and see what I find. Thanks And if anybody else has any suggestions I am all ears (or eyes...

    I know you are going to hate me but I have no idea how to do that. I am pretty smart and I do really well with picture books :D but seriously, I can check that if you tell me what I am looking for.

    Help - Blaster won't kick start.
