Anybody know if a 08 Raptor 250 carb would fit and work on the Blaster with out any major modifications or a lot of work. Would it be a improvement over the stock Blaster carb? I have one laying around from a raptor I used to have not planing on buying one. Thanks in advance for any help.
Raptor 250 Carb on Blaster?

Why would you need that carb ?
Stock carbs have been used On Fully ported Stock bore Motors with no Problems , I see no need for that carb on Any blaster !

I would Say No , I have not tried to use Any other Stock form Carb on any of my machines But the Stock Carb will work just fine If it is jetted properly !
As a rule of thumb I never mix and match 2 stroke and 4 stroke carbys, in many situations they are designed differently.
Slick, I've read about some of your carb adventures....do you know what's different between 4 and 2 stroke carbs.
i know this much.....
the airscrew on a 4 stroke carb is actually a "fuel screw",
where a 2 stroke "airscrew" regulates the air introduced into the pilot circut
a 2 stroke screw is at the back of the carb, to catch clean air as it comes in and mix with the fuel from the pilot screw.
a 4 strokes screw is at the front side of the carb, to adjust fuel only
(does this extra/less fuel just get introduced into the already mixed fuel/air at the intake ?)
yes sir, i have both quads in my basement. The poker carb uses a diaphram to raise the needle, It has a butterfly not a slide, I bet if that thin diaphram gets oil soaked long enough it will deteriorate.
The air screw is opposite of the blasty it controls how much fuel not air!

I have always heard the screw behind the slide called an "air screw" and in front it the slide a "fuel screw" but never made the connection that one was on 2 strokes and the other was on 4 stroke carbs. It makes sense though, especially with the 2 strokes being so much more problems when too lean.
Slick, is the quad with the diaphragm carb a twin cylinder? I've never seen that type of used on a single cylinder engine. I always thought it was because the multi cylinder applications needed to be balanced with each other and using vacuum to raise the slide was a better way to do that.

I got the kid a TRX250EX a couple months ago, I haven't even looked at the carb on it (but I was scoping out his heel guards today). I remember now, you have the Raptor 250, right?
Yeah, keep your stock carburetor on the Blaster. The Raptor 250 carb won't work on a Blaster engine because it is a CV (Vacuum-slide) type. A 2-stroke engine doesn't pull enough manifold vacuum at idle for a CV carb to work. There wouldn't be enough vacuum generated to raise the slide. You need a mechanically-actuated throttle valve for use on a 2-stroke.
