I'm new to blaster so here it is I took off the carbs to clean it.i order a 290 main jet seeing it has some mods fmf full exhaust no lid on air box and vforce 3 reeds which are fine I check so I but it all back together and it turns on but turns off when I get off the throttle.i don't know if the needle position is in the right place I put it in the middle please help sry if I did something wrong I'm a noob lol

 

[Awk08]

Float height 20 - 21.5mm

Needle on middle clip position.

Airscrew @ 1.5 turns out to start, then follow the airscrew/pilot tuning guide in the carb section to tune the airscrew to highest idle.

Should I use stock needle kit came with a needle but it looks thin

 

[speedyslyder]

did you try adjusting the idle?
it is big screw on top of carb,if it is stock still.

what is the airscrew set at?

yes use the stock needle, those ones in the kits aren't suitable for knitting scarves

There's only one screw and I tried to mess with it but no luck I'm thinking it's the needle I used

Yea I think that's where I went wrong

read the airscrew tuning guide: http://www.blasterforum.com/threads/adjusting-your-airscrew-pilot-jet.51060/

after each small 1/8 to 1/4 turn you have to allow 20 seconds or more for the engine to catch up to the new air/fuel mixture adjusting the airscrew gives it
start at 1.5 turns out, and be patient when doing the turns for adjustment.

If the carb still has the tors brick on top, then you will need to take the seat off to adjust the idle screw. If the tors has been removed, then you will need to add an idle screw to the carb

Ok guys bear with me I took off the needle and two white washers came out now when I put them back in do I put both washers under the clip or in between the clip

 

[jus_me]

One under and one on top.

"Technically" the washers can be used in a different order to very fine tune the needle but you would prob never need to finely tune like that.

 

[time2ryde]

Welp I put the stock jet and needle back in and still dose not stay on as soon take my hand off throttle it shuts off

 

[speedyslyder]

did you buy it like this or did it only happen when you took carb apart?

do you got any pics of it?

I'm bought it was running next day did not start off so I took the carb off check the reeds they were fine then I cleaned the carb I did mess with the throttle cable

 

[speedyslyder]

Thanks

not having any luck on the links at the moment
there is so many possible causes.

sheared woodruff key on flywheel
tors system
free flowing gas from tank to carb...ect ect..

do a compression test on the cylinder
new ngk b8es plug
fresh gas ect
look at this pic on the lower right/if you did not take pilot jet out and soak it in carb cleaner do it
click on pic to expand

I don't have that plastic pice and only have the main jet

 

[speedyslyder]

the pilot jet is hard to see
you need a small flat head to remove it.
the plastic ring missing it should still idle fine....
if the pilot jet is in fact not there then that is a huge problem
it should say 32.5 on it
and if you did not take it completely out and soak it in carb cleaner,well then you need to do it know
