    Kick start gear wear

    Hey all, motor has plenty of compression but kick start is not catching. I can get it to catch but only after repeated kicks.. Took cover off and kick start and saw what looks to be a bit of wear? If need be I can upload a better picture later, but I'm wondering if what looks to be wear is...

    Symptoms of a bad bottom end

    Been going through my blaster lately & was wondering if there's anything I can do to check the bottom end without taking the top end off? Heard if the flywheel moves the bearings are shot? Any ideas appreciated

    Holes in exhaust

    I have the stock exhaust and where the pipe meets the motor, follow the exhaust about 12 inches and I have a hole about the size of an auxiliary cord, a little oil stain coming out of it. Will the hole affect performance/jetting in any way? & is the oil normal in that part or could I have a seal...

    Intake boot

    The intake boot on my blaster has a liiittle little crack on the bottom of it, do you think I could use gasket sealant & seal it up? It does not leak but I don't wanna wait for the day it starts.. thanks

    Jetting

    Yeah that makes sense, I have some permatex black, anything bad about that? Only thing they had at the hardware store. says "oil resistant" on box, temps up to 500F. Used it on the intake gasket, should I get threebond for the base gasket? Or do you think what I have now would work? I gotta pick...

    Jetting

    Alright didn't know if they were stock or not, bought the blaster a year back. & just redid the gasket on the inner side of the reed cage, got another gasket for the outside as well. Do you know if the base gasket & the clutch gasket need glue?

    Jetting for temperature

    Yup stock everything other than injection blockoff, the manual I got with the reeds says I should drop 1-3 sizes & they tend to make the bike richer.. There boyeson 630 power reeds & I'd just throw them on the stock cage as well, that's what the manual pictured was the stock cage. I have also...

    Jetting

    Yeah that makes sense to start out richer & work my way toward lean, thanks.. how much does temperature affect jetting? Like how many sizes would I have to change for a 50 degree difference (Avg. 80 summer 30 winter?) Also what kind of gasket glue do you use, do you use one type on all gaskets...

    Jetting

    Hey all, I know you can't just tell me where I need to be jetted and have it perfect but I just need a base line of like two or three sizes to get and go by. I ordered boyeson 630 power reeds for my stock cage, & would like to pull the airbox lid as well, also thinking about a uni filter. I'm...

    Carb leaking

    Hello all, I have a 2001 blaster that's leaking gas out of overflow. Seems to fill up with gas while riding and cause an over rich mixture and causes me to bog on the top end of the throttle. The float does not fill up with gas but where the tab connects with the plastic, has a bit of a...

    Runs better with air box lid off

    Well definitely had a difference in power, but top end of gears still bog a bit and still have some gas coming out of overflow but not nearly as much. Now to pull the carb again and adjust a bit higher, just love playing this game! Lol :) So I re adjusted higher, muuch better difference in...
