Carb-Jetting-Reeds Problem

[Blaster200boy]

Went out and tried starting it with the air screw 1.5 turns out.....started up 3rd kick !!!!

Sounded great, went for a little test around the yard, made it halfway and she died, sounded like it bogged right out X(

Waited a few minutes, kicked her over and fired right up.....idled and reved it a little bit for 5 minutes, and in the mid to high band, it started to backfire some and I saw the occasional flame shooting out the tailpipe

Started it up, idled for a few seconds, then seemed to bog out again. I let it sit for a few minutes and then start it and it fires up, and then bogs out a minute later.

Any ideas guys ??

List your mods and your Main jet. All the mods to do with exhaust, internal engine, and intake. The size will be engraved on the end of the main jet in the carb...

Just to let you know man, you are supposed to let the thing wamred up before you ride what so ever! I let it warm up til' the pipe is hot to the touch, or the head...Either way just dont go and rip on it!

Oh yea no worries about warming it up, I waited until I couldn't touch it.....in my lurking days here the last few months, I've learned alot !!

Turns out I had to turn the idle screw out to almost half, and that solved the bogging out and idle problems.

As some point buddy had set the throttle cable adjuster by the thumb control to low.....after moving the dial over some, I now have it so she idles all by herself....I:I

She'll be getting a full tank of 32/1 mix tonight, and a test ride is in order !

Thank you to everyone for all their help, I saved us a bunch of money, learned a few things, and it actually works after it's all said and done !!

sounds like you need a smaller pilot. a mod list would be very helpful

Just an update.....after everything we did, we had low spark as the the coil was almost toast, so we got a new coil and put her in.......lots of spark on a new NgK !

Turns out she will be going into the shop after all.....it was ran dry in the dark and tried to jump, but no gas meant no oil to lube, meaning piston siezure most likely......it's got an awful metal to metal scrape sound when he pushes the kick start down, coming from by the piston I think.

Shop will have it apart to confirm....

Seems like with this Blaster of his, it's been one thing after another !! Least when this is all said and done, it will be a decent ride !
