bogging

[blaster007]

I have a 2002 blaster and when I start it up and rev it a lot of smoke comes out. More than usual, like its running rich but I have stock jets in it and my quad is completely stock so it should be good right. And when I put it in first it bogs when a try to gun it but it still revs up enough to get to the next gear and it does the same thing in second. What could be the problem.

Could be a variety of things.
Some things that come to mind are a bad clutch side crank seal.
Worn rings, or an air leak.

It was rebuilt not to long ago. Where could there be an airleak.

 

[Paulie B]

Around the carb/reeds.
Does the smoke have a different then normal color and smell?

 

[blaster007]

No looks like regular exhaust smoke.

Can you do a compression test?

 

[blaster007]

What do I need to do that?

A compression tester.
You can get one from most any autoparts store.
Look for the kind that has a thread in type hose that screws into the spark plug hole.

Actually I think the compression is fine. Its not very easy to press the kicker down with my hand. And it idles for a couple of seconds before dying, which if the compression was bad it wouldnt idle at all.
