Hey everybody!
This seems like an awesome little forum you got here. Glad I found it(hard not to if you google anything blaster lol)
I just bought a 1988 blaster. It’s my first wheeler and I don’t know too much about them. Mine has some bogging issues. It seems to get fuel starved whenever I try to open her up. I took the carb apart and it looks brand new. I drained the fuel and put in fresh as the previous owner said it might have bad fuel and they hadn’t used it at all this year.
Also the air filter box and assembly is completely missing. There’s just a filter mounted directly to the carb. I know I’m going either change back to stock or try something else because I don’t trust that little filter in that location once I start riding it on trails.
So next steps on fixing my bogging issues and any ideas on the air box (stock replacement or something else?) would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking for budget friendly solutions if possible. Also anything else you notice that might be missing let me know.
Thanks guys! Here are some pics.
Edit: it’s not letting me add pics, any tips?
