carburetor leaking and wont start

[dmunguia]

Just bought me a blaster and it was working perfectly fine then it died on me and noticed the carb was leaking now it doesn't start

 

[Awk08]

have you tried a new plug ?
tested for spark ?
time to clean your carb and check the reed petals while you have the carb out

I cleaned the carb but not anything else do you know if my carb is leaking if that will cause it not to start

 

[Awk08]

a carb leaking by itself may not cause a no start, but the problems it causes may....too rich, fouled plug, if left to sit with petcock on may have the bottom end flooded.

are you getting spark, new plug, checked reeds, deleted tors ???

click the bottom link below my sig pic \/ for info and links on troubleshooting and deleting the tors

 

[dmunguia]

I dont know anything about this atv or any so what are the reeds and tors

 

[Awk08]

reeds are petals that open and close to allow fuel/air from the carb into the engine, and close to keep it in there, they are located between the rubber intake the carb connects to, and the cylinder.....remove carb, remove the 4 bolts that hold the intake in, and pull the intake and reeds out all as one, you'll see 4 fiberglass or carbon fiber reed petals, they should be in good shape, no cracks or chips, and sit nice flat and tight to the reed cage.

tors is a throttle overide system in case your throttle should stick, not sure if it ever worked ? it luvs to fail and cause mayhem, it is best deleted. it includes the large box on top of the carb, a switch in the thumb throttle and a brain under the hood (3 wires)
here's the deletes for pre and 03+, use whichever yours is...88-02 or 03+

Will this cause my blaster not to start a broken reed

Go to the top of the class, you got it in one!I:I

It prolly broke becase reed stops are not being used.

It prolly broke becase reed stops are not being used.

i'll second thats why it broke, try to find a set of reed stops, or a whole new cage with them on, for cheap in ebay ??

stock cage with petals and the factory stops, for cheaper than a set of new reeds..........
