Small carb trying to feed air and fuel to a larger combustion chamber can definitely be an issue, but there's also carb jetting for fuel delivery and other items that control airflow to consider as well, like potentially a clogged exhaust like mentioned. Check the reeds and air filter. Perform a...

Welcome! I bought a torn down blaster like 10 years ago and still haven't made much progress on it lol. Hopefully you have more motivation that I have. If you're on Facebook, consider joining a group called 'Yamaha Blaster Restoration, Advice, and Parts'. I just joined as well, it seems to be...

So..continued with my mild teardown. Well not so much of a teardown, more of just taking things off to clean and make shinier. This is the result of maybe 2.5 rides. Good ol' desert dust. This used to look nice, too. First thing I did was take this off to start working on it. I...

Did you switch to an LED, or is it the normal filament style bulb?

Yeah man no worries, I'm gonna still study the link to try and make sense of it. I wouldn't be worrying about it if I wasn't always chosen to lead haha. And yeah fabbing up 2 little mounts to make a different brake light work wouldn't be a problem. Sounds like LED would be the way to go to limit...

Wiring has long been my weak point :(

So far, I've caused 3 wrecks/2 hospitalizations because I don't have a brake light that illuminates when I hit the brakes. I don't understand why people continue to insist that I lead, but whatev, I warn them. Anyway, I've read that first generation Blaster's did in fact come with an...

Thanks SpeedySlyder! I think everything I uploaded is 1.5mb-ish. Looks like if I just take horizontal pics they're downsized much more than vertical pics, to fit within the thread width I guess. So I'll take all horizontal pics now! Pilot Jet looks good Main jet looks good, too. No...

Alright, so continuing the mild teardown after half a decade, I was expecting to have to clean out some sludge or some kind of solidified deposits since I didn't use a fuel stabilizer. Don't know how well that stuff would work over long periods of time with pre-mixed fuel anyway. Pulled the...

In the meantime, here's where I left off with my project 5-6 years ago. http://www.blasterforum.com/threads/from-1000-pieces-to-1-atv.41999/

Well that's kind of a boner. Guess I'll wait til my new BlasterForum media album gets moderator approved! Haha To be continued..

Hahaha that's awesome! I've never had that kinda transport problem before. But my new house currently only has a 35in wide gate into the back yard and the Blaster is 40in wide. First I tried tipping it sideways and wall riding through, but it turns out the Blaster has the width and height of a...

It doesn't even smell like gas anymore haha. Now that I've gotten the bike home (Had to remove the left wheels to get it through the gate), I'm performing a refresh before I ride it.. new gas, clean carb, new crank oil. It's got some surface rust going on throughout as well, so gonna be going...

~4yr old gas

Thanks Best, that's a lot of good info. I'm just coming off having learned a lot about my car's engine through rebuild, and I'm starting to learn how some of that knowledge does and doesn't translate to this little 2-stroke motor, such as how to manipulate the CR. I've found Ken O'Connors web...
