96 stock blaster

[calcium12]

i might be buying a 1996 completely stock blaster, what should i be looking at when i go look at it :-/

 

[blasterdude14]

the things you should be looking at is it in good condition, does it run, how much life is left on the tires, any thing that might need fixed or replaced.

 

[calcium12]

you mean (for good condition) like paint chips, plastics, and just overall and the guy said it runs good and he wants 1000

check the comprssion

 

[calcium12]

i think that price is 2 high try to get him to go down to about 900 or 800 that is way to high of a price

yes the engine see if it starts good without the choke

 

[1997blaster]

the compression should be betwwen 120-135 but will run down to 100 but not good

kelly blue book is a bunch of idiots they just chose random prices
and to test the compression just see how easy u can push the kick start down if u can push it down by just settin your feet on it then there is a problem but anything better than that your fine for a while

if you want to check it and check all the bearings and pivot points

[calcium12]

are copression tester hard to use ?? how does it work is it exstensive

 

[1997blaster]

you just take out the spark plug and screw it on and give it a few kicks. you can borrow them for autozone and places like that
