Got Me a New Blaster Today

[07EigerRider]

Well, i got myself another blaster today. I paid 300 for it. He says the local Yamaha dealer said it needs a stator. Its, from what i believe, an 88. It has a full stock exhaust, rear hydros, a-arm guards, and thats all ive noticed so far. It was seized the first time i went to look at it. PO put some penetrating oil down there and let it sit and it broke loose. Here it is.

And heres a pic from when i went in the house, my nephew jumped on and was kicking it like hell trying to get it to start.

Hey man, if you want any parts let me know. I have a whole rolling chassis

 

[brandoz28]

get out the trouble shooting skills and verify that the stator is the problem. just in case they were wrong

 

[Blasterdude27]

Right on! I hope this one is less of a curse then the last lol.

 

[07EigerRider]

[justtwistit]

looks good man I:I

 

[blasterfreek30]

looks like a good project man, keep the pics coming

I dove into it a little bit today. It has spark, good spark. But it has no flywheel nut. Also, it wont fire. I turned the fuel on, its spilling out of the carb. I think the float is stuck. Ill check that tomorrow. Also, i tried putting some fuel in the cylinder to see if it would fire, but it didnt. Whats wrong? I havent been working on a Blaster in so long i forgot the signs and symptoms. Ill get into it more tomorrow, with the carb and whatnot. Also i think im going to tear the cylinder off and check out the cylinder and piston. May be time for a top end sooner than i thought, being as it was seized and all.

no doubt!! that last one was evil!! X(

 

[07EigerRider]

It was. But just like everything you get tired of and try to sell, the sale day it ran like a cadillac. Almost

whats the compression at?

 

[07EigerRider]

I dont have a compression tester

 

[darederek]

yea with it being seized i would def check the cylinder

 

[tyler1blaster]

these old blasters are good easy projects. i wish i could pick one up for that cheap.

 

[07EigerRider]

What am i looking for on the cyninder? Any marks or problems specifically? Or just out of spec

 

[sicivicdude]

You need to check bore size, gouges or scrapes, taper, and out of roundness. There's a spec for each in the service manual but I can tell you, with the spec for piston to cylinder clearance stated as .002", there isn't much room to play. If there is basically any damage you'll need an overbore. You can hone and put it back together if the damage is slight but you're kind of taking it into your own hands if you do that.
