Sounds like it is going to be a well built machine! Pics?

Everything I have done was from info here and a little love from ken.. She runs like a beast!

Thanks Blaaster, your always a big help.

Doing the plug chop today, just haven't ridden it again. I just got to thinking about the timing key. So, I need to do a 1/2 throttle chop? I guess the plug should look the same as a full plug chop?

Oak hill, wv

Just wondering, could the +4 timing key make it get hotter, even if jetted right. Oh, and the pipe is sealed.

Yes, call Ken, problem solved!

I had one of those when I was a kid and the generator went out and they told me it would cost more to fix than it was worth. Well, I wish I would have kept it, I loved that bike and they are probably worth a lot more nowadays.

You can download a manual on here I think. Someone who is more familiar should chime in with a manual download location. I don't know about 2003 and up but on the earlier models, you can get rid of quite a few wires.

If it were me, I would leak test it before I even start it to make sure you have no leaks that will damage it. But if it does have a leak, the previous owner probably rode it like that.

looks pretty good. Make sure you leak test it before doing anything else. Trust me, mine ran good so I just wanted to ride after people like Blaaster tried to tell me to leak test and I didn't. It ran awesome for about an hour then it was toast. Awk08 sells some really nice leak testers as...

I thought I read somewhere that they did or could make the blaster watercooled with banshee parts or something like that. I wouldn't know how but seems like I read that, somewhere

^^^Yep. Its not like a 4 stroke. If something like that happens always do a leaktest before tearing apart so you can find where all the leaks are. I learned that the hard way! If you just keep putting pistons in with an air leak, they will keep melting, blowing up.

^^That's a good point. The regular machine shops around here wont touch 2 strokes because of the ports. 'course I live in a one horse town. lol

yes I sealed around my exhaust at the header flange with that copper rtv high temp stuff and it doesn't leak there. You know though, after thinking, I may have a pin hole leak where the hanger for the power core 2 broke off the pipe and I welded it back on. I am going to go make sure that is...

Ken does do great work, finally got my blaster back together and love it!

I wouldn't bet but I am not a great rider. I could take a bike way faster than a quad through corners and such.

Ok, I know I am running a little rich with 0 air leaks (I know for sure, leaktested) I know I am rich, I have the airbox lid off and if I put it on it don't run right. I am running a 290 now, used 300 first and it ran good but the 290 seems better. I have not plug chopped but am going to. My...

Cool trick, I will check that tomorrow. Everything is moving freely and tight. I just took it all apart and painted everything and rebuilt the engine. I won a 03+ rear end on here from fred (dirtysquared) and it works awesome!

That makes sense. I haven't really ridden many sport quads. I used to have a 87trx250x when it was new and I have ridden a couple of 400ex's but this thing just wants to push through turns if on throttle at all. I am 210 pounds, I do move up on the seat but wasn't really on the bars, but that...
