So here's the story.
I started my Blaster up and rode it around for 20 minutes to warm it up. I stopped riding and filled it up before I hit the trails. I remembered I had some octane booster, so I put some in my tank. I started it up, and went out to the trails. I rode for 3 hours. The Blasty ran awesome. Then I came home, and as soon I was in my driveway, it bogged down and died. I kicked it over for about 10 minutes, but could not start it for the life of me. I then pulled the choke out halfway, and it started. When it started though, it revved really high then died. I let it cool for 2 hours then tried to start it. Choke or no choke, it would not start.
So my theories are:
A) The higher octane fuel freed up a piece of dirt and the carb is now plugged.
B) The higher octane fuel blew my top end.
The fact that it started once with the choke on leads me to believe my top end isn't blown, but I'm unsure. The kickstarter feels the same to push down, which also disproves theory B. This I the first time I've used octane booster in my Blaster. I didn't use much, no more than 4oz. I have the oil injector taken off, so I run 32:1, and I know the injector didn't fail, leaving me running lean. It ran fine before this so I'm pretty sure the jetting is correct. Tomorrow I will go through the basics; airfilter, plug, compression. I would do a leakdown test if I knew what it was... Sorry about the length of this post, I tried to include as many relevant details as possible so that I'll get an answer not more questions..
