well my TORS is completely removed so that's not the issue

100% of the carb has been cleaned

I had the rebuild done at a shop and they told me that they did do a leak test. I have never taken the top end off myself. but the reed cage has been in and out a couple time. I have a new gasket for it that I'll put in sometime this week. also, some exhaust smoke came out between the pipe...

the carb has been cleaned out so there's no dirt in it. I haven't been able to do a plug chop because it doesn't stay running long enough. and what do you mean by heat cycles?

so I put in a 300 main jet and a new spark plug. fired right up and I rode around for 5min or so but it kept shutting off on me. i was able to get it started after waiting for a min. it wasn't overheating or making weird sounds. it would just eventually bog down. it did this when I needed a top...

Ok. Im about to order a 300 main from jetsrus. Will i need to get a new pilot jet too?

thanks to this site. but sadly i have more hours working on it than riding it. I have removed the parking brake. all of the other thing done are in my sig. I didn't take the float assembly out but everything else was was removed and cleaned. I think it could be the jetting (its still stock. and...

my 01 blaster doesnt want to move. Its starts fine but when put into gear and let go of the clutch it bogs and shuts off. Sometimes it bogs when i hit the throttle in neutral too. It has never been the same since it backfired and blew the reeds through the carb into the air filter boot. I...

alright. where can I buy a leak down and compression tester?

I have the needle in the 3rd (middle) groove right now. and I have a completely aftermarket exhaust system. I am also 100% sure i have the stock main in it now. so I'll get some gaskets, change the jetting, and check the reed cage. where can I pick up a leak down tester? and how is it done?

I had the top end professionally rebuilt and the engine has less than 20hrs of ride time so its not a compression issue. but its possible that the problem is just jetting? are there any recommended brands? and maybe you guys could recommend a couple sizes to try based on my mods? I know a plug...

so originally the problem started when my blaster backfired and shot the reeds through the carb into the intake. I cleaned everything out and installed boyeson carbon fiber reeds. when I had finished installing everything and fired the atv up, it didn't want to stay running without the throttle...

november 2011 when the top end was professionally rebuilt. the bike doesnt even have 10hrs since the build though

now that you mention it my engine did backfire, but i leave the airbox lid on and no water was involved.

thats what i plan on doing but i couldnt where i was at... is it possible that the reeds went through the carb and out the other side?
