Picked up my blaster engine from a bottom end rebuild and after installing it in the bike I am having a lot of trouble getting the bike started. Bike will start after 15-20 kicks. Before I took the bike in it would start first kick every time without fail. Any advice to what the problem may be? Carb was recently cleaned and i just put in a new spark plug. Thanks
Blaster takes 20 kicks to start
- Thread starter kcroatti
- Start date
lots of good info on the sight search through.
who did bottom end work?
what year is your blaster?
compression test?
leak test?
you took the pilot jet completely out of carb and soaked it in carb cleaner?
answer those first

where you live??? is it cold out? when i had my blaster last year i would run it around the yard and then put it away and it was proby like 30 degress out and a couple days inbetween riding and i had to kick it a million times to get it to run....
Thanks for the quick reply, I had the bottom end redone at Master Cycle works in Pompano FL, I may be taking it back in because it is a lot harder to change the gears on the bike when I do get it running. The blaster is a 2006. I have called all of the auto parts store in area but none seem to have a compression or leak down tester I can rentlots of good info on the sight search through.

However just doing the finger test the bike pushes my finger out no problem. In regards to the carb it was taken completely apart and soaked + cleaned throughly, I dont think fuel is the issue as when i remove the spark plug the bottom is wet.Im in South Florida where its 80 degrees right now so temperature isn't an issue
ok what was replaced in "bottom end"
why did you take it to the shop to begin with?
do a real compression test it should be at 120psi at least
or make the shop do it for you for free as in your having issues know

Is it possible the bike could have shredded the woodruff key throwing off timing? You've said the carb is clean. Move on to the next option.
3 things a motor needs to run. Spark, fuel, compression. Check up on the flywheel and get back to us.
