so if you been following my build i bought a blaster for 150 and it was not running today put a top end in it and a little starting fluid and it ran fine on the fluid now i cant get it to run again on fluid or gas any help its getting spark and all my switches are on
help ?:(
- Thread starter sillykid
- Start date
well if it was only starting using starting fluid thats a carb problem but if its not starting with either i dont know what would cause that.
you sure your getting spark?

got spark
got fuel reeds are fine has a weak spark gonna get a new plug tonight hopefuilly
no comp tester gotts make one of them
a large amount but a little wont hurt could this have caused a blown head gasket how wil i know?
try the spark plug first, if you suspect it to be the head gasket see if you have a loss of compression. aka is it really easy to kick or crank the motor. i would just get the plug situation figured out first then diagnose like i said earlier because you dont wanna start getting into more involved sh*t and buying gaskets when it was a 2 dollar plug the whole time
and yeah ether isnt good for 2 strokes since they depend on the oil from the gas (if you premix) to lubricate the cylinder/crank

well plugs fine becasue my spark is jumping off the frme when i kick it over adn pull the plug away a little i think its my rings tho because i feel like i lost compression and i just rebuilt the topend
The reason ether (starting fluid) is bad to use is because it dries on everything...I don't know if you have noticed when you spray a little on the ground, it dries very quickly? 2 strokes NEED premix or injected oil in their cylinder...&since ether is a drying agent, thats definitely NOT GOOD. Its also known to put a wear spot on the top of your piston...I actually did it purposely to a motor i had laying around...Since I couldn't find a clutch to fit it, I decided I just wanted to blow the motor, but I did it with a bottle of starting fluid....After running and starting it off of the ether, it showed some wear on the top of the piston...It eventually blew up and the rings seized....I wish I still had pics of the damn piston that came out of it....Hope this has taught ya something on starting fluid...
