[gizzy2014]

im going to be adding some parts to this thing and thought id share as i did it.

This will be over the next fews months as work is really slow and i dont have much money to spend right now. hope to have it all done by the end of the summer.

To Buy/get:
reeds
handlebars (no idea what i want)
AWK's rear brake kit
port and polish done by KOR
Head mod
front shocks???

Anything else anyone would care to add to that list feel free

will probably need a bigger card for port???? i have a 28mm mikuni sitting here will that work????

peace ya'll

If you are still using OEM Blaster front shocks, consider upgrading to OEM Banshee fronts. The Banshee fronts can easily found in the $40-$60 range and was an amazing improvement over the stock Blaster shocks.

 

[gizzy2014]

yeah i have read that, i am at stock blaster fronts..... id like to just upgrade once (haha i blew the top seal on one so its just the spring its nice and soft I:I)

that 26 will work fine, the ass dyno will feel no difference going to a 28 its nots not worth the jetting troubles

 

[gizzy2014]

oh well sweet, case the gas inlet on the 28 is broken off and idk how to get it out to install a new one

How deep is it broken off at? If it is below the aluminium then you could try an easy out perhaps, either that or it would need to be drilled out.

 

[gizzy2014]

it's below..... pretty deep maybe i'll fix it and try and sell it

I've wondered about that. We all know that porting and head design is a big improvement but I've never seen anyone testing different carbs on an engine.

 

[gizzy2014]

u mean like run one carb and switch to see if u can feel the difference???? or what cause alot of people run 30mm

Yes, different carbs and what difference it makes. I expect a bigger carb will favor topend HP and smaller will favor low end torque. On the KDX 200/220, that's one of the differences, the smaller 200 uses a 35mm and the larger 220 uses a 33mm. Along with the 220 having a 3mm over bore. The 220 is a torque monster compared to the 200. I've ridden both quiet a bit, so it's the best reference I have.

 

[gizzy2014]

hmm..... well i like my low-end torque I:I so ill prolly just keep my 26 in it when i get around to port job.

Don't take my word for it, I don't know what effects carb size will have on a Blaster engine. I was posing the question, not giving advice.

 

[gizzy2014]

yeah i know, i was going to stay with 26mm if i could

 

[gizzy2014]

well i got a carb cap in the mail today:



and im getting the braided cable from herpderplol

now we both are waiting for the idle needle kit to get here to finish removing TORS

 

[gizzy2014]

got our needles in today..... and since its snowing super hard.... will probably be installed soon to.

bought the banshee kit for 2 needles, it also says banshee/blaster on it to though

works fine i got same kit never installed it but there both identical

 

[gizzy2014]

yeah im not worried about it working or not..... just happy that we both can do it at once

 

[gizzy2014]

well i got that done, didnt go to well....... ran-away on me.... cause the slide got stuck at 3/4 throttle had a grain of sand in between slide and carb wall, so had to take all apart and clean that out

but now finally done, so im now TORS free I:I

File the area where it needs to be flat before you tap. Take your time tapping !! Keep reversing tap often to release chips from tap.

I need to file the flats for screws on the Banshee when I put summer jets in here soon. Wasn't enough with the lock nuts on screws.

 

[gizzy2014]

yeah im done..... yeah ive tapped stuff before, take ur time and use oil.........
