starting trouble

[redranger]

I had been regularly starting my blaster and riding it around my yard once or twice a week. I reccently put a new air filter on it and a week later i started it up (first try) and rode it around for 5 minutes and it just died. i tried starting it back up and it wont start. pulled the plug out and it didnt look flooded. any advice?

did u rejet for the filter????

 

[redranger]

no i did not! how do i do this? i am not very familiar with small engines

 

[blaster01]

well take ur carb off...tke the bottom bowl off, take the main jet out...its a 230 main jet....get a 240 main jet and stick that in there.....put the bowl back on and then re attatch the carb...and try it out

He couldnt have if it was jetted for the fmf and than he put the airfilter on,that wouldnt be enough to destroy the top end imo.
