My 02 blaster isn't running too snappy and bogging out pretty bad it ran good all day until my silencer broke off at the weld bcbcBthe mounting bold came loose I rode it back without it and it ran like sh*t bogging terribly after ripping it thru the gears back to the shop....then stalls i parked it welded the silencer back together and it started but is running like trash......and the fuel is dripping from the overflow.....any pointers.....like i said it ran great all day till then
 
Take the exhaust pipe off and look up the poet for signs of piston damage .

You may need to set the float level and clean the needle and seat to stop the carb flooding.

I found the bogging issue one of my reed cage gaskets has a leak and the float was exactly what I was thinking.....tweaking the little tab the seat rests on?
 
A lot of people use a gasket on both sides of Reed cage.. DO NOT use silicon. Tighten incrementally in a criss-cross pattern to spec.
7 ft. lbs. IIRC. Check the manual.
