Almost got killed on the blaster!!!

[BlasterHoss02]

i finally got the electrical prob fixed and i took it out but it was running like hell but it drove fine! i felt air by my leg and it was coming from the reeds. about that time when it went wide open and i cut the swithch off and it still kept going when i heard from my dads voice quote: " if it goes wide open hit the brake and pop the clutch if the switch dnt work! " today that advice saved my life. so i took it home and found out that it blew 3 SCREWS OUTSIDE OF THE REEDS! THE ENDS ARE THERE BUT THE HEADS AND HALF OF EM ARE GONE! i came 3 feet from a barbed wire fence i est. i was going 60 because i had tears from the wind. any knowledge about this?

its only a flesh wound

that bad airleak caused the motor to heat up so bad, that it will continue to fire even if the killswitch was hit

 

[brandoz28]

so what was the electrical issue now that you fixed it?



and also, you should probably do a compression test now that you've baked the thing

/\/\/\/\ yeah what freek said, kinda like a deisel engine works, once you had fire and enuf heat, just compressing the fuel will ignite it, no spark needed, just like a deisel
get them bolts out, airleak fixed and hope ya didnt damage anything today, and a leakdown test and compression check will be a good idea, before runnung it again.
or you'll be on here asking for ken oconnors phone nunmber !!!!!!

do not DO NOT start that quad at all again until you get that fixed then even before you start it do a leak down test il say it again do not start it at all unless you want to be making a how do i rebuild my blaster thread and just cause it starts dont mean you wont need a rebuild soon now keep an eye on the compresion cause i think your gana need a new topend soon if your gana keep starting it when your missing i think you said three bolts from the intake

You jump out and hold a bucket over the air filter 8-|

 

[Whitty21]

mmmmmm diesels I:I love em. anyways that is kinda sketchy. You definately want a compression test on that, prolly fried the rings, coulda scored the cylinder. dont laze out on this. re-seal that reed cage and do a leakdown and see if that was the original air leak.

Just another reminder to check for loose bolts before rides cause shat happens

 

[Drifz1]

that happened to me before stoped around 20meters away from a 15/20 foot drop!

 

[BlasterHoss02]

thanks for the help and "hope your okay posts" lol!

 

[scotj77]

you probably over torqued those screws and split them. then they gave way while you were ridin.

 

[BlasterHoss02]

idk they have been on there for 2 months now and they JUST went
