    Electrical Smart-Guy?

    Thanks civicdude. re: the little black/silver boxes (CDI, voltage regulator, whatever else).... are they interchangable between model years? If not, how do I identify which one goes for which model year? Is there a part number reference sheet that will let me look up the number stamped on...

    Electrical Smart-Guy?

    System won't let me post in the "Ask A Pro" section so I'll try it here. Hoping an electrical smart guy can answer to make sense of some things. My Blasters each seem to have FIVE different coils: Mounted on the Stator: Lighting, Charging, Pickup/Pulser In the Ignition Coil...

    Pickup/Pulser Coil: Real Specs?

    Can't figure out how to delete this post, so I'll edit it instead. Found the answer, it's 16-24 ohms. Clymer manual was confusing me. ===================================================-= I'm confused about what an ohmmeter should read for the resistance on a Blaster stator's Pickup (or...

    PRE MIX ratios/ myth/ facts READ

    Ream Away Yeah I figure people here will badmouth my post, and make it personal (like the guy who said injection is for lazy people).

I know you'll find a hundred guys who'll say the oil injector fails and "blows up" the engine; but I've rebuilt four Blasters from basket cases (literally, bare-frames and all parts-in-a-box) and the only one that ever seized a...

    Crankshaft Play?

    If the side to side play is greater than .028 inches, what sort of damage would that set me up for? This engine already seized one piston with less than 3 hours on a fresh rebore; but the piston was used (sorry, I'm a cheapo, don't have much cash) and the wear marks on the cylinder wall...

    Crankshaft Play?

    How much side-to-side play is acceptable for a Blaster crankshaft? I HATE pulling the cases apart and would much rather just use the existing crank if I can.... The crank has almost zero play when I pull & push up & down on the connecting rod. Nice and snug that way. But the left and right...

    Chinamen quads

    What problems have you been having with the quad? And what brand name and size/type is it, and where did your brother get it? That helps figure out who made it... like if he got it at Pep Boys or Tractor Supply, or if he bought it straight off the internet, or if he bought it from a guy...
