Well new here just got my first quad, 02 blaster and I can't figure out why it won't idle. I had a new top end and clutch put in after I bought it and it idled fine when I first got it back from the shop. After the first ride it wouldn't idle and I found out the idle screw on the tors was stripped. So I installed the bypass kit with the new idle screw, still will not idle. The screw picks the slide up just like it should, but it will die if I don't keep pressure on the throttle. Took carb apart and cleaned twice. Runs great through the whole rpm range. Running premix 32:1, good plug, all stock except for bored .020 over and FMF silencer. Any ideas what could cause this?
Will not idle has me stumped
- Thread starter Antonius
- Start date
did you ever heat cycle the new top end?
and re-torque nuts?
what is airscrew set at?
perhaps shop will fix it if they already fixed it once,for free

Heat cycle yes retorque no probly should do that and yes I'm calling the shop tomorrow but they will most likely tell me o we'll get to it next week sometime...
Did you file enough material off the boss on the carb? I've had to take a good bit off before to get them to even think about raising the slide at all.
A good carb cleaning wouldn't hurt either. You might have a semi clogged pilot jet.

I suspect the TORS system
I've put a Mikuni roundslide bike carb on my blaster, works great haves a normal idle screw on carb. and no extra junk that could misbehave(TORS)

Only thing I can think is maybe I didn't file enough down when I put the idle screw in. I put a new carb cap and cable on too. And last time I cleaned the carb I pulled the jets out and cleaned everything out real good
probably not..if the problem started cuz of stripped out tor brick idle..
