98 blaster help

[Jre720]

Hey guys so I went out today and picked up a 98 blaster and an 01 blaster both pretty good condition but on the 98 on the left side of the flywheel/crank case (not positive what to call it lol) anyway it has gas rising to the surface and it was so cold today on revs you could see it blowing out air, is it the base gasket on the cylinder or the case leaking?

Second question is also on the 98 it very good compression in the kick starter and will kick over and fire up,, after parking it and going to start it again the kick starter has no compression what so ever and just sinks right down as if the motor wasn't even connected or something if you kick consecutively the compression will come back and the bike will fire right up

I apologize for the long post but any ideas on either issue? I can add for whatever reason the 98 did not have an air filter would that play any issue?

Left side = Stator behind flywheel. Should be no oil, Fuel or mud in here.

Sounds like crack seal is leaking. It can be replaced without stripping the engine. You will need a fly wheel puller. Cheap on ebay.

 

[Jre720]

Thanks man I will look into that right now any ideas on the kick starter?

 

[Markblaster]

Install a air filter on it and DONT run or start the bike till the problem is fix. As it will stuff up the jetting settings.

Download service manual if you haven't already got one.

what happened to your 05 blaster?
do you know own all 3.... 05,01.98 blaster?

 

[Markblaster]

Oh and buy a leak tester if you haven't already got one. You will need it to test engine for leaks.

What was the compression test reading?

 

[Jre720]

This is what I need correct? Already have air filter on order, and speedy I have the 05 still I actually picked up the 2 today for my step dad and brother , and plan on helping them get them up n running to specs so that's why I said I picked them up

 

[Jre720]

Mark ,haven't done a compression test honestly the price was great for the 2 so we couldn't say no being that they both started 2-3 kicks and the kick starters were both very firm..until the 98 started having that problem but when it doesn't have that problem it is very firm

lol ok just checking

 

[Markblaster]

Yeah that's the tool. Do you have a impact gun? If not you will need a fly wheel tool to hold the fly wheel from spinning when you undo and toque the flywheel nut. I made mine. But you can buy them. Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-...:g:K8sAAOSwaB5Xso9b&item=112097338405&vxp=mtr

Seal kit looks fine. Not to sure on seals if the aftermarket ones are as good as OEM. Maybe contact KEN at http://www.kenoconnorracing.com/

starting a 2 stroke in 20-30 degree weather
sitting in 20-30 weather
after siting for a week or even over night is never a easy task.
i have had flawless engine's that wont kick over till about the ?? kicks
not to mention the twist throttle can get frozen in those temps...........
