Lost all power, and smokes bad.

[Taavi]

I was trail riding my 2002 blaster though sand, dirt, and mud. After about 2 hours, it suddenly bogged down, lost all power and smoked really bad. I could barely keep it running by feathering the throttle. I checked and adjusted the jets and tried running gas through it. It’s all stock except a tusk clutch, clutch cable, and tires. Not really sure what else to do or check. Any help would be super appreciated.

Here’s a couple of videos that show it running.

Thanks!

try new sparkplug

Check reeds for cracked broken petals

delete TORS .... https://www.blasterforum.com/threads/how-to-remove-your-tors-88-02-models.655/

compression test results ?

does the smoke smell unusual ? right side crank seal sucking in trans oil,
Leakdown test (I have testers if you need one)
check trans oil level, crank seal replacement is the only fix

Ok i checked plug and reeds. They appear to be good. The compression test was about 115. I didn’t notice any weird smells. I’m probably gonna try to delete the TORS this week. The trans oil is brand new.

TORS delete for your pre 03 blaster only requires you unplug the 3 wire box under the hood,
mounted directly above the 5 wire CDI box

I looked at disabling the TORS and couldn’t find the specific wires. Any help/pictures?
