Thank you for your help, AWK.

My 2003 Yamaha blaster leaks gas out of the carb through the long overflow tube when gas is on or it's at idle. I think the float might be sticking or the seat might not be sealing well. Where could I find a quality rebuild kit and float, not some cheap Chinese kits that make my bike run like...

Thanks for your help, Awk08, I changed the plug and now it runs well. I wanted to ask you if it is normal for my blaster to smoke as much as it does, I attached a video. Maxima SuperM is said to be smokeless but my blaster still smokes a little after warmed up. I was only able to test it in...

Thanks for your response, I forgot to update. I wanted to try 32:1 since that's the most common ratio, so I went to my local motorcycle shop and they sold me Maxima Super M. I used the ratio cup and mixed one gallon of 93 octane at 32:1. I also changed my spark plug to a Br8es since that's...

I just removed my oil tank and plugged up the hole in the carburetor and the two holes on the oil pump with vacuum cap hoses until I open my blaster up again to remove the gear and pump. I have just bought Amsoil dominator oil and some people say to 32:1 with it is too much and will cause bad...

Is there another way to remove the rod without splitting the cases, because I don't have the experience to do that and I am afraid I will break something in the process.

The Clutch mechanism on my 2003 blaster went bad, I bought both pushrods, ball, pressure plate, and nut and washers. The problem is I can not get the second longer pushrod out. I tried tapping it with a hammer while the bike was leaned sideways so it would fall out but didn't. I tried removing...

I tried adjusting my clutch and I could never get it to work properly, sometime it would not disengage while other times it wouldn't engage. Anyhow, I realized there was a small rod in place of the ball and I think the previous owner also messed with the pressure plate because it looks like he...

I just installed my new EBC clutch and rotated the steel plates every 2 groves, does that seem correct? When I pull the clutch lever, it moves 7-10 mm before you start to feel the tension of the clutch engaging. The clutch pressure plate moves 2-3 mm out, is that the distance it should move...

Thanks again for all the info Larry, I really appreciate it. I just wanted to ask if the oil pump needs to be taken off, for the side cover to come off, so I can access the clutch? I watched some youtube videos and some say it needs to come off while others somehow take the whole cover off.

I haven't check to see if the oil was dropping in the injection tank, but will do so once I ride it. On the back of the Amsoil bottle it says "Burns clean; helps prevent ring sticking and plug fouling" so I am not sure if it means clean as in smokeless or what. If you don't mind me asking...

Thanks for the information about soaking the plates. Would you say replacing the clutch is an easy job, I never replaced a clutch on a blaster before but assume it won't be too difficult, and I will look into it once my parts arrive. When putting the plates in the clutch basket, do they only...

I'm using the Amsoil Dominator oil. That's what the previous owner said, to put oil in both gas tank and oil injector tank, I have no idea if the oil injector works or not. Thank you for the answers you gave me on all my posts, they really helped me understand what I was confused about.

Thanks for the information, you said it must smoke a lot with that much oil, but my blaster doesn't really smoke, should I be concerned? I asked my local Yamaha dealer about the idle they said 3-5 minutes at most, does that seem correct?

Thanks for your answer, when I pull the clutch in to put it in gear it stalls right after I put in gear even if the clutch is pulled. When I told my local Yamaha dealer, the guy said my plates are probably stuck together and recommended an EBC clutch for $100, and I ordered it. Are EBC...

Thank you for answering my question about the transmission oil, but I wanted to ask if Yamalube trans-oil plus gear oil, SAE 20W-40 works because I don't know the SM rating and anything about the friction modifiers.

Some people say you can't let a 2 stroke idle and you have to keep blipping the throttle, because you will foul a plug or blow your top end due to not enough oil at idle for the piston while others say they let their blaster idle all day and never had a problem. I would like to know if I could...

I want to change the transmission oil in my 2003 Yamaha blaster but I am confused about which oil I should put in it, the manual states SAE 10w30 should be used but other people on this forum say not to use SAE 10w30 and to use ATF, ATF type F, or ideally Motul Transoil 10w30.

I just bought my first atv, a 2003 blaster, and the previous owner told me the clutch needs to be replaced because it slips and I shouldn't ride it till I fix the clutch. How can I verify that I need to replace the clutch due to it slipping? If I need to replace the clutch, what brand would be...
