Hi everybody,
Just bought a blaster, (year unknown) for about 800$ cash from my best friend whom got it in a trade from his neighbor. only reason he needed to get rid of it was because he was moving to an army base 300+ miles away and had no way to transport it or room to ride it there. (hints the awesome price)
anyway, I am a well experienced mechanic in the car world, especially with small displacement turbocharged engines (drifting, auto-x etc.) ;and I used to own a Honda CRF250, which I loved, but had to sell back in college.I am pretty competent in wrenching on single cylinder, carburetor engines.
but I dont know what year and model this blaster is. I know it has to be within 2003-2006, because the headlight is NOT mounted on the handle bars, and the plastics are white and the frame is red. also it has disc brakes in the front and one in the rear.
I am also having an issue with the idle. the quad ran fine when I rode it at my friends house shortly after he bought it. he also talked about how he fixed the idle speed on it. he claimed that he adjusted the brass flat-head screw on the carb body itself (close to the intake/filter side, right beside were the main fuel line connects).
Now, the day I bought it, the engine idles scary high. when i crank it, without hesitation the engine shoots straight up to a very very high RPM and I shut it off.
I then saw that the tors screw was another way to adjust idle on this forum. went out to try and check that and the screw turns freely without ever "bottoming out" or coming loose....as if the threads are damaged
now this is peculiar to me because the quad has obviously been modified to run a twist throttle. it does not have a thumb throttle like I have seen on here.
