Power Shortage!

[ShaunStanton]

Hi There guys. Hope that you are all well!

A while ago i posted that i had problems starting my bike and then when that was sorted i had problems with the idling. This Blaster is running but i dont seem to have its full power. I suspect the power band doesnt kick in. Before i stripped the carb, exhaust and reed block it ran fine with its full potential power. I did clean the carb and set the needle tang. I dont know if thats the problem, but it could be a few things. Any idea what it could be. Please can you give me an idea of things to check. Ill go through it 1 by 1 and give a responce after every check! Thanks in advance!

Have you checked your compression?
Float height in carb?
Jetting in carb?
Where did you set the needle?
Is your air filter clean?

What exhaust is on it and what main jet size is in it ?

Check:

• Compression
• For air leaks -with a leak tester
• Spark - maybe replace the plug?
• Jetting - what size pilot and mains, what clip position on needle?
• Reeds - check that none of your petals are broken!!
• Exhaust - nothing blocking it?
• Air filter - is it clean and fresh?
• Float level, if its too high, carb should overflow - too low it will run lean (even so far as spluttering at WOT)

Ill do a compression test tomorrow. I already have a new plug in. Standard jet and standard exhaust. None of the pedals / reeds are broken. Air filer is clean and i oiled it again. Ill check the float level again. Ill do all this tomorrow and give you guys feed back.. Thanks guys
