00 blaster runs only after being strangled

Yes sorry I was reading my float for some reason. So my main is saying 210 or 012. My pilot says 35

210 is leaner then stock. Stock ranges from 220 to 230 also pilot jet stock is 32.5. Do you have any modifications to the quad such as open air box aftermarket exhaust and such? Also when you start it try pulling the choke half way out to see if it idles better. If not try pulling all the way out and seeing if it idles better. If it does then your air screw is set too lean. Now assuming you have no air leaks turn the screw clockwise 1/4 turn until it idles. that's what I had to do to mine I ended up being about 1 1/4 turns out.

OK so I guess after re reading the whole posting. I completely missed posting what the quad has.
Fmf fatty gold series full exhaust, v force reeds, not sure if it's been bored over, oil injection still on the bike but it's dry and still installed. I run premix. No air box lid with stock box and filter.
 
!! Dang if you are running full exhaust and no lid you def need to re jet if your main jet is only 210 way too lean :eek:. I am running a full FMF gold series with power core 1 and i am currently running a 300 main and my needle clip is in the third slot which is middle position. Pilot jet is about 1 1/4 turn out. You may also want to look into getting an oil block off kit if you are pre mixing. I believe I read somewhere on here if the drive gear in these things is left on and ran dry it could break and cause problems. Don't take my word on that though. Hopefully someone with a lot more knowledge can chime in.

Oh and I live up at 6000 ft. Does this effect my jets. Ya think a 300 would do well for this? Any adjustments to anything else?

When you re jet you need to plug chop to confirm correct jets. There are threads on here on how to do this if you don't know how. Its better to start big and work your way down. When you change the main jet check your needle on the slide and look and see what the clip position is I would suggest starting in the middle clip mark.

Sorry I didn't realize you were asking if a 300 size main jet would work for your elevation. 300 is probably going to be rich. At your elevation 210 main is prob good. Does the quad only have trouble idling? Does it run good mid to full throttle? If so it just may be your air screw that needs adjusted in as I said before Try turning your air screw in 1/4 turn at a time in the clock wise position to richen up you pilot mixture
 
Yes it's the idle that I'm fighting with. I can get it to Rev up into high rpms. But soon sputters and backfires. Still thinking it's getting too much fuel and therefore causes unburnt gas to explode outside the engine. I will be picking up a few new spark plugs today to try a plug chop hopefully. I'm also going to pull the stator cover and double check my woodruff key.(even thought it seems like a carb issue, it's better to check everything to make sure.

Have you plugged/capped the injection nipple on RT side of carb?

Yes I capped off the port of the carb. However I had this stupid idea run thru my head. What's the gap on my plug? Supposed to be .28 - .32 it was sitting .58 WTF!!!! It was brand new looking. Figured someone wasn't that stupid. Slapped a new one in with correct gap. She fires up and idles wonderful. Got the air mixture screw adjusted right. Now I gotta go ride it and see how it rides. Haven't done a plug chop yet but I will do that next now that I can ride it for a 5 gear hot lap.

I believe he stated that the oil injection is still install

Yes defiantly. I know it's frustrating. But we'll worth it..thanks for the help. I'll be posting here pictures this fall of my rebuild I'm planning. I've been doing them for years now. But finally decided to make a blaster forum account for myself..however I notice my old buddy was trying to take all my creations as his on here. Looks like he don't use the site anymore but still it's enough to go make a fool of him. Only MotherFu**er I've know to have a 465 crammed into that blaster frame. Funny how everything comes out over time.
