    carbeurator mix screw missing?

    If it's available at all, I would look at PJ Motorsports or JetsRus. Beyond that, eBay for a used one. If you can find an IPL for the carb, searching by OEM parts number should help

    Kick back on blaster. Kickstarter stays engaged too long

    I would retard the timing. If timing is the cause of severe kickback, it's because the timing is too far advanced. Ignition is occuring too soon and trying to drive the piston down prematurely this resulting in the kickback you are experiencing. And good on you for being honest with your...

    Kick back on blaster. Kickstarter stays engaged too long

    Severe kickback is most often a result of ignition timing too far advanced. I've also experienced it with an aftermarket CDI on one of my 250Rs. Swapped an OEM CDI in and the problem went away immediately. If you consider, once the engine is running, you can hold the kicker down. That because...

    What mods would be good?

    Elka offers shock kits for the Blaster if improving suspension is your first priority. As far as engine mods, along with what you already have, I'd look to replacing the stock carb with a Keihin PWK 28. Don't waste your time and money on a Chinese knock-off. Get the real McCoy. You would need...

    No power on throttle

    Is it blubbering, sound like it's drowning? Or is it a smooth loss of power with little to no smoke? The first is too rich The second is too lean.

    Cheap Chinese carb w/ 36" cable

    The only situation I would ever recommend a knock-off carb is if there are zero options available from Keihin or Mikuni. Yeah, some folks get them to work well, but I prefer to buy good parts and not have the extra headaches. Jets with no markings and no real clue as to what replacement jets to...

    I NEED A MOTOR

    You'll save a lot of money diagnosing and repairing the engine you have. I would start with a proper non-Chinesium carb, properly jetted. A genuine Keihin PWK28 is a great carb for these Blasters. Not to mention, the newest Blasters out there are pushing 20 years old now. You might buy a used...

    High octane fuel. Any downsides

    In my area, 90-91 ethanol free is available at almost any gas station. I run that in everything I own from chainsaws, to boats, to wheelers, everything. Only exception is my wife's 2018 truck. I would run that if it's readily available in your area. As far as running 100+ octane in an engine...

    Seized 3 new pistons. 1 old one

    Once again, solid advice from Acdiez! You've had the same problem occur with three different top ends. Your issue is most certainly an air leak at the reedvalve and/or the bottom end. Questionable Amazon parts quality aside for a moment, the rapid re-occurance of burn down with each new piston...

    Best Accessories for Can-Am Maverick R?

    Clutch kit and a tuner would be a good place to start for performance upgrades. I run a Dynojet Power Vision 3 tuner on my '23 Outlander XT-P 1000 and I like it. Also, not to take traffic away from the Blaster forum, but the Can Am ATV forum is loaded with info
