just finally finished putting the blaster back together today. Took a while to get started. Once started it would stall when letting off the throttle. Then, it started revving on its own. I cut it off right away. Can someone explain to me whats going on please? All I can think of is wiring might be off but that would not make it rev like that.
irratic idle

First thing to do a leak down test.make sure your carb is nice and clean inside.check to make sure everything is tight.
Sounds like jetting issue... run it and do a plug chop. spray the cylinder with carb clean (or do a leak down test)while its running to see if it revs up and has air leak first
when u say finished puttuing back together do u mean like a rebuilt topend...if so, did u do a leak down test...sounds like an airleak somwhere
The same thing I'm thinking. That's why I said to do a leak down test. See. I'm learning from you pro's. Lol
haha. sorry, i should clarify what Ive done besides screw it all up.lol. I stripped everything down and painted the body. As far as the engine I only changed reeds. It was not idleing at all at first, I had to keep giving it gas to run. Then it started idleing like crazy.
do u mean it wasnt ideling before u put the reeds in....and then after u put the reeds in it idles irratically?
I had starting problems when I bought it. The gas was crap that was in there and the reeds were shot. All new gas and reeds. Another issue I have is the choke will not stay out, so that makes it a pain to start. No the idle was not irratic before. It started doing it after I was running it for a while earlier today.
next time you take ur carb off, stuff it with paper towel and put it in a bucket, or bowl or something. that way u can be sure theres nothing stuck in it.
I don't know why you are fighting it sal. this sounds like a typical airleak man. I know you don't want to belive it bc you want to ride. don't listen and see what happens. hope you got a few hundred extra bucks layin around for the rebuild
thank you norman. I know everyone says leakdown. Yes i will when i have time, but that is not always the answer to everything, maybe, maybe not. Norman, I did touch the throttle cable when this happened so that may be the answer. I will definately check this out first since I do not have the time tomorrow to go and buy everything right now for the leakdown tester, but I promise everyone I will also do a leakdown test asap. Thanks everyone.
