sorry i'm new to this forum and this may be a dumb question but.. i just bought a blaster and the previous owner cut out the airbox in the rear fender, the bike starts right up but has no intake boot or airbox, so it doesn't really have much power to it. is it possible to run an air filter right off of the carb? like say a pitbike has?

Like they said...a pod air filter will work as long as you stay out of the water.
That being said, you can buy an Outerwears for your pod filter and it will help A LOT with the dirt and dust. You still can't get in deep mud or water, but an Outerwears will keep your filter cleaner longer and it blocks sand well.
Also, since you're already missing the stock airbox assembly, I'd go ahead and order a new CFM airbox. Best $ 80.00 you'll spend, and it flows much better than the stock setup ever will. Since you have to cut out the stock airbox to make the CFM fit, you're already one step ahead!

LOL! Where can you get a new CFM air box for $80 ?
Ebay! There used to be a guy selling them with a 'make offer' button. I made an offer on mine for $ 75.00 and he counter-offered $ 80.00. IDK why $ 5.00 was such a big deal, but I got it for 80 bux...
/\/\/\ truth !!!!!!!
this is the one, although i see he raised the price,
all others are $99 obo
which is what the blasty's used to be
