    They are pretty cheap right from the dealer, otherwise you can get one from ebay. If you get an offset one it does improve botmm end torque somewhat. I think they are $12 or something like that. The thing that bothers me about the crank keys breaking is that with the flywheel properly...

    Man! Back to where we started! I wish I knew for sure. I can take pics of my electrical system, but mines a '98. If yours is newer, the module is different. I also have a spare ignition box I could send. BTW... How strong is the spark? It could also be a weak coil... It could be a sheared off...

    RD 350 powered Blaster

    Thanks man. I know I can do it.. It'll look factory... I have a pipe bender, welder, everything i need for the frame mods. it's puting out the cash that always hurts. I think it would be pretty cool build though. I'll see if I can make it happen... I'll update this when the pieces start to come...

    rotary engine

    Not efficient at all. No torque unless turbo'd. The only good thing is they rev to the moon and don't vibrate at all. They go for LOTS of miles too, not just 50K. The key is to keep the apex seals lubed and clean. A lot of guys pre-mix som 2 cycle oil into the gas to accomplish this...

    Well, that's good news! what about the cylinder base gasket? Maybe the reed gasket too? I'm just throwing stuff out there.

    help with bolt

    You dont have to pull the motor.. you can just pull the jug. You can do that with the engine in the quad. But, based on your questions, it's probably best that you take it to the dealer. But, you'll never learn that way. Buy a chilton manual and read it... it'll tellyou everything you need to...

    Cylinder Porting DIY

    Uhh....?? Porting really has nothing to do with cylinder size. At least not the basic type of porting that Ken will be talking about. It could be done on a stock cylinder, or a cylinder that has been overbored.... probably just not one that has already been ported. I'm sure Ken is gonna keep it...

    seriously? a 4x4 blaster

    I thought he said it included manual tire kickers. Aren't all tire kickers manual? That's what happens whe our school systems go to hell and people don't know what a f'ing comma is for!

    help with bolt

    If all else fails and it's really bound up in there, grind it flush, drill it out and put a heli-coil insert in. Having said that, if you don't know what to do up to this point, my advice probably won't help.

    selling my chinese atv

    100% awesome trade! Anything over $5.00 you can get for a used chinese quad is a bonus.... unless you really hate the guy you're selling it to and owe him one....

    got my wisdom teeth out yesterday.

    I had to have an oral surgeon take mine out. I was out cold, didn't feel a thing. When I woke up though I felt like I had to puke for the first few minutes. Went to the store to do some Grocery shopping about a half hour later with all the gauze stuck in my mouth and blood started dripping...

    RD 350 powered Blaster

    :-/ I got this idea in my head.... I had a line on a '75 RD350 a while back for $200.00. The engine was perfect, but the rest of the bike is trashed. Now I've got an idea to get a blaster chassis and mate it up with that RD350 air cooled twin. About 35 RWHP stock at 7000 RPM would make for an...

    Cylinder Porting DIY

    That's cool as heck. Ken knows I have 2 extra cylinders I asked him about, so I can afford to screw one up, but now I'll wait to send them out (not in the budget right now anyway) and try it myself on one of them. You know someone is a stand-up guy if they are willing to take potential money...

    Carb Recommendations

    The bad thing with 2 strokes is that even a small leak will make it run really lean. You could pour some fuel down the spark plug hole and fire it up... if it revs way up, it's getting air from somewhere. You don't need it to run long to check it... If it's running at all just spray brake...

    Man it sure sounds like one of the crank seals or base gasket is leaking. If that eBay carb doesn't work for you, that's gotta be it.... maybe..:-/

    Lame.... Kid's a good rider though... It's really hard to ride goofy and make it look goofy.

    Problem with front Brakes?

    It could also be an internal leak in the master cylinder... you won't lose any fluid, but the handle will feel all mushy after it sits awhile. This normally only happens if there is moisture in the system and the quad has sat for a period of time. A good bet would be to rebuild the master...

    radatiors

    Just messing with ya... It'd still look cool right behind the rear fenders A-la-fighter jet exaust.... not too good for life expectancy though!

    radatiors

    You could mount them anywhere on a blaster since all they are good for is decoration. Try mounting them just under the rear fenders and tell everyone they are diffusers for the turbine exhaust.
