02 blaster fresh rebuild runs horrible need help!

your setup is not complete. You should still do a leak test on your motor. Awk08 sells them really cheap.

300 main jet was giving to much fuel causing it to bog and die out. Have a 280 in now but will only run right if I have airbox lid and snorkel removed

That doesn't sound right. At all. I think you should leak test the motor and quickly . It is unwise to start a motor up after a rebuild without leak testing. Did you follow proper break in precedures. Making sure to retourqe head bolts and all?

I to personally run a stock blaster motor with fmf I run a 300. 290 may be perfect for me. 280 sounds like it could be correct mine is with the airbox lid removed as well. However the only way to be certain is to chop. It's running correct with the 280 and lid removed?

btw is your air filter clean? Stock or aftermarket?

Have a leak tester on the way. If anything there may br a leak right at exhaust port.. everything is torqued correctly and was broke in correctly. Will be doing a chop after I leak test in the next day or 2.
