now what process is used to do a compression test. i just kicked it over and looked at the gauge

maybe i just didnt look hard enough on here but what am i looking for on a compression test. i put the gauge on , kicked it over and got about 60 p.s.i. i dont know what it should be but on a car, thats real low. any help would be great

yup, premium gas(if there is such a thing anymore)and mixing. the part that sux is that piston was just replaced by me 3 weeks ago

well, got the carb back together. got it running again for about 10 minutes and then the motor came to a screeching hault. you guessed it...siezed... back to the drawing board

all right, i pulled the carb apart(it finnally stopped raining) and it has a 230 main jet. so i guess the kid never changed it. i just have to wait till the local shop opens again to get a 310 jet. thanks again to all.

its the right plug, i just changed it. the airbox lid is gone and it hasnt blown uo yet because i havent started in a week. after the possessing of the machine im a little weary of it. i did have it running once after the incident but only for about 5 minutes. when the weather clears up im gonna...

the book shows an idle adjustment on it. if you remove it, how do you adjust the idle

ok ill try that.

im mixing my gas; 32 to 1. its got the blockoff injection kit. i dont think the exhaust is blocked, it blows a good amount of smoke, but only when it first starts up, then it piddles out to unnoticeable. where would i start looking for air leaks and how will i know if its been jetted

i think that to, but what can cause it. i dont know what the kid did to the machine other than the exhaust and reeds, maybe jetting?

i just got this machine from a complete idiot. so far i had to rebuild the top end(.20 over now) and rewire the whole thing. he cut out the extra stuff(poorly) like the key switch , head and tail light and all the other switches that were unneccesary. the problem i have is overheating. i ride it...

just picked up a 2000 blaster for the kids. i know verry little about these machines and have alot of questions. sorry no pics
