I put a new motor in my 2000 blaster it is from a 2004. I grounded the extra wire (green wire with white tracer) and It runs and idles perfectly but backfires above 1/4 throttle. I have checked reeds, spark plug, wiring harness for wires grounding out, and tried some different jets. I don't know what the problem could be. We noticed smoke coming out where the flange joins the exhaust when it backfires. I don't have an o ring to put in there. I was thinking that could be the problem but it was that way on the old motor too and it ran great.
