so I did a top end rebuild on a2001 blaster I picked up, put an fmf fatty/silencer. Upgraded the jetting with the fmf jetting kit. Followed all instructions everything was good. Broke the engine in accordingly, new air filter/irriduium spark plug. The thing has been running great, has about 3-4 hours on it. Changed the oil and plug after break in of course.
Today I was out riding and my buddy was riding it, I was behind him and all the sudden the wheels locked suddenly and it shut off. So a minute later it started right up and did it again 30 seconds later. This time it took about 5 minutes to start.
I turned the fuel off and it was flooded but that was probably from me kicking it so many times giving it gas here and there. Got it running and it was running very powerful after for a minute, then got really choppy and horrible, so I shut it down to prevent any further damage.
The clutch has always been a litttle hard to pull, even with a new cable. I was wondering if maybe that could be clutch related? About an hour earlier to these problems I tried to launch out of first gear, and it kind of just banged and shut off... that was probably a bad sign from the start.
I’m going to do a compression test/check the plug in the next few days when I have time. But has anyone ever experienced anything like this before? I’m trying to avoid splitting the cases at all costs but if I have to it is what it is. It would be awesome if anyone has any input, thanks!
