New to posting but have read many of the threads. My prob is I just rebuilt my 2001 blaster and on the first kick it starts but goes wot. I initially tore the entire carb apart and cleaned set the float. Honed cylinders and new rings , jets are stock and stock exhaust. I was trying to break in motor but at wot. Immediately stopped. Any ideas would be appreciated. I think I will start with removing tore. Also leak down test held 7psi and compression was 130
New rebuild wot when started

does your thumb throttle seem like it is operating properly? your slide is probably installed wrong and is stuck on the alignment lug
The only other thing that would hold the throttle open would be the cable. I have had the cable come lose inside the tors i guess if something crazy happened it coulda gotten stuck somehow. otherwise you have a huge airleak. has a leakdown test been performed.
Leak down was perfect yesterday just put motor back in frame throttle feels like it is working properly
Do another Leak down now that you have fired it up , It might have developed a leak after the Wot incident !
Yea pretty sure no beers during this rebuild but I am pulling carb and retest tomorrow thanks for the ideas
Maybe I set float wrong would that have this affect because I do have gas coming out the bottom vent of carb
You need to fix that overflow problem.
For the motor to run at increased revs you either have an air leak, or the slide is not bottoming in the carby.

Well thanks for leading me the right direction Turns out I was so worried about compression and leak down I overlooked the simple answer. The throttle adjustment on the handlebar was too tight not allowing the needle to seat low enough. Once again thanks got the help
