4mil build
- Thread starter o4blastie
- Start date
So....Its been a while, let's fast forward 3yrs, long story short..Aug 2015, bunch of assholes cut the lock off my shed stole my Blaster, Raptor 700, and my Cr85, I was so devastated, death in family 1 day after, became a homeowner shortly after, switched jobs, and now have settled down a bit to get back to what I wanted to do from the get....build a fun blaster....so with that being said I have began my search for another build, the thieves didnt get my motor luckily as the bike was broke down, motor was inside my house, HAHA So far I have searched around and found a 05 frame and went ahead and stripped and blasted, and powdercoated it one of my favorites colors Shocker Yellow, 2 Stage with Super Chrome base...turned out great....I'll keep the build updated as I go along... here what I looks like so far

Might be sick, but when I hear about theives, I hope they wreck and get hurt bad.
Good start, long way to go. Is that purple high heat?

Yes I do have a bit of ways to go, I'll save up for a purchase, blow my load in one spot, save for a few more weeks and try to snag up what's available, stuff sells way too fast for the good stuff I see up here...the "purple" I bake at 400 degrees, so I hope it'll hold up, if not I'm gonna try ceracote next...I do my own powdercoating in house, so it's a win win regardless if it doesn't hold up..
Do you know if a powder gun gives off much electromagnetic force?
I got a pacemaker and can't be near it. Can't even use a welder anymore

That sucks, Ummm....well it is adjustable from 0-80,000kv, not sure how much is coming in contact with you as the person spraying, but it will light your butt up if i touch the tip of the gun while the power is on..ask me how I know, lol

Been tinkering with this thing over the past couple months, heres just a couple before/after pics, couldn't ever decide a color, but ended up with this instead. Still working on getting it all back together, tying up loose wiring ect, more to follow
That's sick that you are back at it.
Which swing arm, carrier, axle and all this are you running?
And are you usuig hydraulic brake in the back with the rubber things in the axle at the brake?
Thanks, To be honest not sure on swingarm, other than its plus 4, and so is the axle, was told it was dura blue brand, RAD carrier, and at the time I was building the frame up a while back, didnt have money for hydraulics, so welded the old school brakes up on it, just ready to throw a leg over it, believe it or not this is like the third time the motor has been started since KOR built it in 2015. I'm kinda skittish on riding yet because I'm not sure if its had a enough heat cycles, ita been a while, trying to remember everything I learned years back. It sure does sound nice though these few times
Well, I bought the 36mm airstriker carb off the "13k Blaster" from Ken, it was setup on that bike which is similiar to my build, but I rode it down the road yesterday, kinda boggy, feels like it needs to be a bit crisper, anyone have any base line setting to start with, I ride at sea level, but for tuning purposes, I tune where I live at 15 feet, not sure if that would make much difference..
I never really hit the throttle much, may have been loading up because I was nervous to start the bike to begin with, or even give it much gas, here a few pics I took previously of the jets, may need to grab a few more to play around with
The temps were close to 70 last weekend when I started it and rode up and down the road, I took the plug out after that immediate ride, plug was dry looking, but I didnt do any sort of plug chop, I think the needle reads BEN but it's been a while since I looked at it, I need to recheck again...this carb was already set up on that blaster I mentioned before, I'm sure I need to do my own rejetting tho, I'll check later on the needle info and get back to you this evening when I get home from work...
So I checked the carb, it has a #6 slide, the needle has BEN stamped on the side, 178 main and a 48 pilot, is this a good starting point or do I need to buy a different needle, jets ect.. I noticed you mentioned a specific needle one other day, is that a common starting point?
Write down how it is setup now jets clip position temp outside.
Try needle in the middle position.the 178 still seems big? I run a 162 at 85 degrees outside
Buy. Some plugs , and genuine jets from jetsrus or sudco
So do you think the needle is okay? No need to change? I'll grab a few jets down and go from there, and play with the needle clip settings some more and see what I come up with..
