2000 blaster ran out of oil..what damage?
- Thread starter BlownBlaster
- Start date
all depends on how long it ran on no oil, a top end would be about good if it didnt run on it long, but if shes dryer than the desert on the inside gotta split er open to determine damage
oil block off kits aren't too expensive like 25 bux and yeah you could have fried everything but you will have to pull the top and check the crank. some side to side play is normal but nothing excessive. and NO up and down play. With my expireince i would probably replace the crank and bearings too but i have all the tools
What kind of oil did it run out of????
2-stroke oil - or crank case oil.... 2-stroke oil not to horrible, crankcase oil = horrible.

^^^^^ Those would be the same oil. If it ran out of 2 stroke oil, then the motor could be a mess inside. The oil injector is what supplies the oil to the whole bottom and topend of the motor. Now if it ran out of transmission oil, then that would be not so bad. Granted it probably did some extensive damage to the tranny but nothing should be wrong with the crank, bearings, piston, ect...
yea a 2 stroke dont have engine oil...just in the clutch area....it was the two stroke oil the boy ran it out of....blaster resto?...i see a sand rail frontend like mine?..do tell
Yep, only way to know the extent of the damage would be to completely tear into her. If it was my bike, I would just put new bearings and a new crank to be safe. On the bright side, if you get a new crank, might as well get a stroker, since the +3 vitos cranks are only like 30 bucks more than a stock stroke crank.
