so my buddy bought his wife a 2005 blaster ,who rode it once in the desert, had a smoke and proceeded to tell her husband how much she hated it.lol...so it sat in his garage for almost three years..i offered him a sum and he sold it to me. i ride a ds650 4 stroke that has a lot of fun stuff on it,but this bike was a birthday gift for my 14 yr old daughter.needless to say she was extatic!! b4 i gave it to her i replaced all fluids,new air filter,pulled and cleaned carb,new gas(91)and new plug..started right up,no sweat.(note,also started fine b4 this). we went to the desert,rode about an hour,all good.went on second ride and about 30 min into ride bike locked up and shut down..super HOT. plug was like grey with almost melted together! towed it back to camp.replaced plug added a little oil to gas,and forced kick start till it was smooth again.no start! then towed it to get it to eventually run but very not right.,i could hold throttle in full and it would barely stay contant and eventually die out. i am mechanically able to work on things but this is my first two stroke,could really use some direction. is it just the top end//ie,new piston,hone and rings? i messed with this damn thing for 6 hours in the sand watching the sad look on my babys face,i need to get this bad boy back in a hurry..thanks to all,and sorry for the long ass post lolI:I
