Blaster quit while riding yesterday

[ford.gt.40]

Ok so my 98 blaster which is bone stock quit on me while riding yesterday. I was more or less topped out in sixth gear and it just shut down completely. Since then I am only able to get it to idle but when i give it gas it bogs and dies. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have already replaced the plug and disconected the tors system as per the diy thread.

you might have fried the rings whats the compression like?

I haven't actually tested the compression but the kick starter feels the same as it did before my problem.

The same thing happened when I was driving at top speed on my old 4 poke automatic, Replaced the entire carb, and it ran like new.

It sounds like you fried the topend. Do a compression test. It will still kick over fine but all your compression is escaping by the rings. Or just pull your head off and look at your cylinder walls to see if they have scratches.

Did you disconnect the wire from the TORS controller to the throttle assembly? Mine did that after I disconnected the TORS and I had forgot to do that. It would start and idle fine but as soon as I touched the throttle, it would die. Hope this helps.

You do realize that a compression tester is cheaper than a head gasket right???

I pulled the reed block yesterday and as it turns out one of the reed was broken. I got some new reeds and my blasty now runs fine.
