I bought a 1996 Blaster with the hopes of being able to ride it some day. The previous owner stated that it did not run. He had owned the Blaster since new and had not used it in a long time. I am learning about two strokes for the first time. I started the motor after checking things over. It was making a clanking sound that I did not like and immediately shut it off. I ran it for maybe five seconds. I did a leak down test and the results, well lets just say it would not hold any pressure what so ever. I have pulled the motor and opened it up to have a look. Over all thngs looked good. Then I checked the counter balance gear and it wobbled. I knew something was bad. It looks like it ate up the bearing and was decomissioned becuase of this problem. I did not see and metal shavings or flakes (have not split case). I feel the previous owner rebuilt the motor unaware of this issue and stopped riding it because of the noise. So my question is at this point do I stop and scrap the Blaster or can this be fixed without buying a new case?
