Hey guys, hope everyone is well. I have a 98 Blaster that starts up on the first kick every time without choke, but it won't start with choke on. I stored the bike away after I blew it up in '01, but recently pulled it out of storage, rebuilt it, cleaned out the carb and replaced the reeds. It...

Hey Awk, could you PM me about a brake kit please? ty :-)

Thanks for all of your input guys. I think I put the pieces of the puzzle together a little better. I went back and used a feeler to check clearance at the *skirt* instead of the top of the piston. The clearance at the skirt is exactly .1mm (.004"), which also happens to be the service limit...

Well, I have .009" of piston clearance. That's way too much. I think I could almost put the next size piston in there right now.

Ohhh! I guess I did it backwards when I brought the new piston/ring set to have him match the cylinder to them. And what you said could be true, but still, he should've said something if that's the way he does it. I'm nervous that this guy doesn't normally deal with the tight tolerances in a...

Hey guys, been a while since I posted - finally revisited the Blaster top-end rebuild. I had the jug re-bored, and everything went together ok. After everything was assembled, I did a leak-down test and compression test and found that compression was about 95 PSI and the cylinder was leaking at...

Alright, I'm going to crack it open. Is it possible to go at it just from the stator side? The side with the gears looks complicated. Can I avoid it?

Ya know, that's an excellent point - I would be really upset with myself if I burned up yet another cylinder. I think I'd commit seppuku. Good question! I found two pieces total; the clip was sheered and somehow both pieces were straightened. Both pieces were just setting on top of the...

Hey guys, I've been lurking the forums for a while and I really appreciate all of the helpful info you've posted. With the help of some of the posts here I was able to rebuild my top-end. Trouble is now, I derped and lost a wrist pin clip in the engine, didn't know it, and it flew back up in...
