Died and wont start

[fsuroxu]

My friend rode my Blaster down to the end of the block and back. When he got back, pulling into my driveway, it died. He got off and when I got on and tried to start it, it won't start or even try to start. We tied a rope from his 330ex to my Blaster. He pulled me around the yard and it will start and run fine until I let off the throttle, when it promptly goes dead. Got gas, air, and spark. I am thinking my pilot jet is clogged. What do you guys think?

Take your carb off and clean it just to be sure. Did your friend hold it wide open when he road it? Maybe you need to check the compression.

 

[brandoz28]

check the compression. since you had and air leak (if this is the same bike) its probably time to do a top end

dude the same thing happened to me i was riding and it was running fine and it just died when i let of the trottle couldnt kick start it but it pull started. anyway long story short i checked compression had none pulled the jug... piston rings broke new top end on the way so i would start with compression test

Check the reeds, the blaster we bought had this problem wouldn't start, but would run if you pulled it behind something and hold the throttle basically wide open, We checked the reeds and it was missing a couple.

dunno if anyone has suggested this or not, but check your reeds as well, could have a petal missing. would make it seriously hard to start.

i would clean the carb and deffinately check the reeds i had the same prob and finally got it right

 

[fsuroxu]

I will check the reeds first and hope I find something. Just one thing to add. If I hold the throttle while I kick it, about every 5 times I kick, it will backfire. Does that tell anyone anything? I don't have a compression tester nor do I know how to make one. I will put that off until last.

Sounds like no compression,time for new rings and piston.

 

[fsuroxu]

If the cylinder and piston look ok, can't I just replace the rings?

 

[brandoz28]

most of the time you'll need a bore, pistons and rings

 

[stephen12091985]

yea check ur reeds and if there fine then go to the auto part store and get a compression tester.sometimes they will rent them if not u gotta buy one

 

[fsuroxu]

What range should the compression between? What is the process to check it?

 

[pricetc3]

it should be 120 + anything lower would need a rebuild
