Blaster shifting problem

[sheldon]

I have recently started having an issue with my blaster. It runs good and shifts good but I can go from 1st to 6th geaf or from 6th to 1st and I know this is not right but I can not figure out the problem

gotta be a shift star or shift shaft detent problem, time to download the manual from the general support section and tear into the clutch side cover to see what the problem is

Do you have any problems going from 5th to 6th or 6th to 5th?

 

[Bluesman]

Are you saying you can perpetually go 123456123456123456? If so, that's impossible. 2 of the slots in the shift drum have ends to them. There is no way for the drum to turn past them with the shift fork pegs in the slots.

I found a small piece of metal under the shifting star just laying on the case. It is very small and shaped like a rectangular prism. Please help and thank you

That goes in the shift star to keep it in the right position

 

[sheldon]

Ok thanks. Should I be able to just put it back in the right spot or is it more complicated than that?

 

[jbuckster07]

well there is a slot on the shaft and a slot on the shift star. They need to be aligned for the key to be inserted.

 

[sheldon]

Besides burn it... does anyone know where to go from here?

 

[jbuckster07]

Need a new shift drum lol, now we know why the key was at the bottom of the case!

Yeah, that thing is shot. I might actually have one for sale down in my spare parts. If you want me to check, I will.

 

[sheldon]

No. My buddy has one but thanks

I have a shift drum that did the same thing. Good luck!

 

[sheldon]

I did NOT replace the drum. I welded the star like the newer blasters are done and now I can not shift...

 

[Awk08]

try turning the output sprocket while shifting.
most won't shift much if nothing is turning like it would be if running

 

[sheldon]

I tried that and it did not work

weird.... Looks as though it is working fine. If you turn the sprocket / output shaft it will make it easier.
