I have a 2004 blaster that has been sitting for about 2 years. When I got it from a friend in 2006 it ran great but never did want to idle right. The jet needle has never been changed and I set the air pilot screw to 1.5 turns off of fully in (read it in a manual). I did move from SC to Texas but I don't think that changes much the temperature is similar and the elevation change is only about 350ft. I changed out the spark plug and tested it. It seems like it is getting a good spark. I also drained the gas and put new gas in it. I cleaned the carb. The first time it leaked the new gas out of the carb and I am not sure why. The second time it did not leak. I have taken it apart a few times since then and checked everything. It does not seem like I am getting any gas to the engine. I did get it to pop one time when I took it apart and put some carb cleaner in the bottom of the bowl. It popped a time or two and then quit. I have tried to pull start it as well. The air filter is clean and in good condition. I have not changed the oil in it, but am planning on doing that tomorrow although I don't think it will have any affect. If anyone has advise I would like to try it out. Also since the carb cleaner got it to kick does that mean that the top end is good or could it still be bad. I almost forgot to add my friend got rid of the oil tank setup because the pump had stopped pumping. We mix the engine oil in with the gas in the gas tank. I know a lot of people that did that before. I do have 2 ports on the carb that I don't know what to do with. One is for the oil coming in and the other I don't know. I also don't know which is which, but I don't remember them ever having anything on them. Should there be something to close it off or are they ok.
