I have a 99 blaster that i replaced the cylinder gasket on because it was blown. After i put it all back together it ran, but to start it i had to hold the throttle in and kick it over. As soon as i would let go of the throttle the engine would die, so naturally i adjusted the carb back to stock and messed with the throttle limit screw on the tors unit. As i turned the tors unit screw to the right and revved the engine it took a few seconds to rev back down. so i turned it to the left once and the engine quit on me and hasn't started since. That was a week ago and i have tested and cleaned and checked everything i can think of on this thing! I have a solid blue spark, gas going to the carb, gas coming out of the carb, adjusted carb correctly, reeds seem to be fine, good compression, the tors unit doesn't seem to be malfunctioning or i wouldn't get a spark to the engine. My quad is a 99 and i believe it never had a parking brake on it, so there is no Pbrake to bypass. I have checked all my wire connections and put dielectric grease on them. Things i haven't done but don't suspect to be bad: my key switch and kill switch (didn't check because there would be no spark if they were bad) Anything to do with the clutch as it is completely shot (but the quad ran before while it was shot so i don't think it could have suddenly affected the engine), I haven't checked engine fluids, i did notice i can see a gear when i take the oil cap off but i didn't run the quad enough to overheat it so i don't think that could be it. I did not do a leak down test because i no i have some compression as i had kickstarted the engine to get it running and the engine would run until i let off the throttle and when i tried adjusting the idle it won't run at all now. The last thing and the most plausible reason i can think of is the timing of the motor. I have only removed the flywheel cover and looked in but i have not even so much as touched it, but i don't think the timing can suddenly change while its running? can it??? The only response i get from my engine now is an occasional backfire and i even put gas straight into the cylinder and replaced the spark plug and kicked it over, nothing not even a single fire. I went as far as removing the carb, spraying starting fluid into the reed valves and kicking it over and still nothing! I have checked the spark plug numerous times, i have a strong blue spark, its a NGK b8es plug. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME????????
