Hi guys, yesterday I took my blaster for a spin and used the bike for about 3 hours. The bike was dirty and thought I'd give it a wash. I used a high pressure hose. Let's the bike to idle and washed it off. Switched it off to dry. Started it and now when I try and accelerate there's no power. The bike moves but has very little power. Any suggestions?

Did you let it idle while you washed it? How long was it left idling?

Hi nick, thanks for the reply. It was idling while I washed it. Idled for bout 5min then switched it off. Dried the bike off and tried to start it after about 5min that's when I noticed there was no power.
 
These 2 strokes are not meant to idle long without blipping the throttle. You may have cause excess oil to build up. I'm not really sure about the process of getting rid of that. May just take some ride time but you have probably wetted the plug beyond the point of return so a new plug would be suggested.
 
Changed the plug as well. Tried riding the bike but the minute I hit the throttle the bike bogs and sounds like it's dying out. Change gears and it moves but still very slow. I've just taken the carb off and cleaned it out. Put it back together and still the same. Starts up perfectly, idles but doesn't rev up at all.

First thing that popped into my mind was the parking break and or sensor.

Thanks a mil again guys for all the help. Come to think of it. I haven't used the parking break until just before I washed the bike. I'm new in the bike scene and this is my first bike. Will try diconnecting the parking break and or sensor.
 
You don't have to remove the parking brake if you don't want to. Its just the sensor that will cause it to run like that. I only disconnected mine because I noticed that mine didn't work anyway since the splines on the arm where shaved off and I never use it. Same thing with the tors. Depending on the year of your blaster, there is a different process to disconnect the tors

Thanks for all ur help nick. This bike has got me puzzled tho, like I mentioned it's my first bike and I'm going thru the bike bit by bit. I've cleaned the carb out, changed the plug. My parking break sensor seems to just clip out..unless I removed the wrong thing lol. Still does the same thing tho. Will upload a pic of what I think the sensor is

The guy I bought the bike from said its a 2010 model. Gona try n drain the fuel and oil out and check frm there. Would like to know more bout the tors and how to take it out. Not too technically inclined if u know what I mean.
 
Saw a video on YouTube and the guy shows how to disconnect the tors. He pulls the plug that leads from the throttle on top of the car that leads to the 'harness' then snips the wires n joins them together. That's the harness wire not the one linked to the throttle. Any ideas if this would work?
 
Does the quad have the headlight mounted in the hood and does it have hydraulic brakes? If yes then you have an 03+ model. You need to find out if it's an 03-06 or an 88-02 model. One of them you just disconnect the tors wires and the other you splice them together. I think the 03+ is the one that has to be spliced because I think that's what I did with mine.
