I had the carb. off but i couldn't see the numbers on the jet ... bout 3:00 in the mornin' , didn't have good light and just wanted to put it back together.... looks like i might as well pull it back off i guess... looks a lot like yours in the picture. What size jet you think it otta be..?
All good advice (compression, reeds). But if you have BOTH screws turned in all the way, I suspect that you are way lean on the pilot--and may need to re-set or check your float level. I would start with the jetting and carb set-up as it is "free" and easy to do....
Appreciate all the advice... noticed the tors unit was still all hooked up..gonna unhook it , maybe i'll get lucky. thanx.
i do belive there is only one air/fuel skrew,(on the stock carb) its on the left side close to the air intake tube. and turning it to the right will richen it and left will lean it. the other skrew is the idle, its on the tors box turning it right will turn the idle up.
Yeah, assuming we are talking a fairly stock machine that used to run good and now doesn't, it sounds like it could have a massive airleak, causing a lean condition. Reeds, compression, and LEAKDOWN TEST.
One more thought: pilot jet. You said you had the carb off but if you couldn't see the jet numbers, then it doesn't sound like you took them out and cleaned them. Remove both the jets and spray through them with carb cleaner. Spray through all the passages too. Before you replace the jets, hold them up to the light and make sure you can see through them. The pilot jet has a tiny hole that is easy to clog.

pulled the reeds out and one of the smaller flaps on one side is like warped open bout 16th of an inch....is this enough to be causing my problems ya think...??
It's your pilot (fuel) screws man!! or something really stupid because he never came back to tell us what it was...? Hahaa
Pulling my blaster and destroying the motor pull starting it is how I got my blaster for 125.00.rings stuck and trashed it.all due to 65psi compression reading.
