My 1988 Blaster will not kick start while it's cold. The only way it will start when it's cold is if I roll it down the hill and pop the clutch. It has cold started once since I got it back from being fixed (for free not gonna argue), and that was after it ran out of gas and I refilled it. It starts better after it's been running a while, but still not good. Once it's running it runs great. Anyone have any idea on how to fix it?
1988 Blaster Problem
- Thread starter tank647
- Start date
May I sugguest that the carb was not cleaned properly and there is something amiss with the choke circuit
Has a compression test been done.

If that carb has been off, cold starting problems can also be caused by an air leak.
If it were me I would not be riding until I had done a leak down test as well. You could well be running too lean which can harm your motor.
Good luck.

Does it kick easy? (the kicker goes down easy no resistance? That's another way to try to diagnose low compression.
