    couldnt stay away from blasters!

    blaster was my first quad, then traded that plus cash for a banshee, blew the top end. couldnt afford to fix it, so traded it straight over back to a blaster. lol. is it bad that i downgraded back to the blasty, or good that i returned to my roots? lol. at least i kept it 2 stroke.

    Problems kicking when cold.

    When I start my blaster for the first time of the day, it wont kick. You have to push or pull it a bit while in gear. Once it fires a time or 2, it starts first kick for the rest of the day. Any ideas?

    top end vs low end power?

    i just learned that a reed spacer (if between cage and jug) increases low end. so if i added that for low end, and an exhaust designed for top end, this would increase both power ranges, not cancel each other out, right? and is a reed spacer a noticeable diff? would i have to buy one, or could i...

    complete water proofing?

    seems like this has probably been covered by now, but my search didn't find anything related except air box info. i would like to theoretically submerge my blaster up to the handle bars, or at least the seat. i know how to make a snorkel and water proof air box, but how do i keep it from getting...

    cant diagnose this! fuel issue?

    2000 blaster borred one mm over. starts great but idles out after about a minute. if i give it throttle to keep it goin it bogs sounding like a sick 4 stroke then dies or picks back up to idle for a few more seconds then dies. my exhaust seems a little smokier than normal but not too much...

    frozen rear breaks

    is this a common problem? should i switch to hydrolic breaks? im kinda short on cash and dont wanna spend too much money upgrading if a stock replacement works just as well. the old break box is dirty and rusty, all sorts of worn out. so the whole thing needs replaced.

    low compression?

    i checked it and its about 90 psi. this sounds low to me. im not sure what it should be tho. maybe this is why it wont kick start but can push start? it idles ok now but still cuts out in high rpm, and like i said wont kick start. i do have fuel and spark too. no water in it anywhere...
