Just wanna get it running right

[Blaster200boy]

I'm right on the edge of putting the stock pipe on and running a 270 main with my custom intake. But, I also might keep everything the same except the intake and go put it back to stock and just re-jet. I know what my problem was, it was leaking from the base gasket, again....To hell with a leak down tester. I'm gonna put a stock gasket on it. I'm gonna use HP2 32:1 mix and use 87 octane gas. I'm possibly thinking of buying a Namura piston for cheaper but these wiseco's just do not hold up. Even on my waverunner, wiseco's didnt hold up, but the stock pistons have been in it for 4 years now, they wiseco's didnt last but 2 years....piece's of sh*t is what i call wiseco. sorry for the language but geeze. i have went through 6 top ends, $3000 was spent on this blaster and still, nothing has worked.

 

[brandoz28]

if the base gaskets have been leaking, how can you blame the piston??



there have been people that get several years out of the wiseco's. and the blaster's manual recommends 93 octane for fuel just FYI.

 

[Whitty21]

wow....................

 

[Blaster200boy]

If a manufacturer does not use any silicone on base gaskets, then why would we if we rebuilt them??? Wiseco's are junk, my blaster hasnt performed good enough to deserve 93.

ur piston issues are a direct result from a maitenence or tuning error somewhere....not jetted right mabe...but cmon man, u are the first i have ever heard have any issues with weisco pistons...what do u mean by "didnt hold up"...if they broke mabe to much piston to cylinder wall clearence

 

[Awk08]

have you been using the "sorry ass excuse for a gasket" green vitos and k&k gaskets ?????

stock yamaha base gaskets only !!!!!!!!!!! anything else will leak

yeah man there was an underlying issue there... i have use a ton of wiseco pistons. as have alot of people i know. they are what we believe to be the best piston on the market for a 2 stroke engine.

 

[brandoz28]

you realize that you running the wrong octane fuel will have a direct effect on performance and longevity?




done with this thread now before i get any more frustrated with the lack of basic mechanical knowledge or ability to properly maintain a vehicle.

I used a Vito's gasket once and they were junk, used Yamaha gasket too, still leaked, im using Yamaha head gasket too, using Cometic reed gasket. and Klotz air filter oil. i don't know how else to put it. My mechanic (40 years experience) told me that Blasters are junkers and don't last as long as they should, given The 4th time it blew, it was my error (main jet was off my 3 sizes. Other than that, I have taken care with it and have warmed it up 5 minutes prior to riding, kept good quality, clean gas, kept the bike spotless, but now its starting to lose its trust, every time i ride it, its as if it wants to blow up, it over-revs like crazy and something don't sound right. I'm glad I have a 400ex that whoops butt against every blaster around me. beats raptor 250's, 350's, cannondale's, keeps up with 450's too.

your mechanic is a moron apparently, asnd what colour of powerband do u have in the 4poke that it keeps up with cannondales and 450's?

you must not live in PA.

lol...A moron with 40 years experience!!! lol

 

[brandoz28]

and just for the record, what is happening to the wiseco's that's making them no good? skirts breaking? or what's up? what is the piston to wall clearance being set to? how do the leakdown tests come back every time you put it together? is the jug warped? did you check it with a straightedge?

no professional mechanic will blatantly tell you that a certain machine is junk. A true mechanic will tell you ANYTHING is repairable.

you obviously have an air leak. It's not just the machine wanting to kill itself, there's a perfectly valid reason for it.

 

[blasterracer817]

okkkkk if your mechanic says blasters are junk he must be high on shrooms, the only reason my blaster EVER blew up ONCE is because io didnt wanna loose a race and the guy was gainin so i pinned it and spun my bottom rod bearing, that was MY FAULT, its not the machines or the parts fault, its usually the little feller who installs it wrongs fault, AND that was a wvery idiotic move posting that blasters are junk on a blaster website, and i dont care if it was yur machanic who said it, stop blaming other stuff for your problems and grow some testicals and man up btw your 400ex would be eatin my ice, 400exs suck left balls

 

[Triple_B]

Sounds like the operator has no effing Idea what a blaster is. 40 years experience my ass.

 

[79 bronco]

lol...A moron with 40 years experience!!! lol

 

[Whitty21]

And no one on the planet has 40 years experience on quads, they only started in the early 80's making 30 years the max!!!!!

The wiseco piston is always scarred as I pull it out, it was scarred even when everything was working correctly, stock intake, stock exhaust, powercore2 silencer,240 main jet, 1.5 turns out on a/f, stock pilot, 3rd clip from top. I didnt mean it was junk, i said wiseco's are. btw, i said around my area, and really, you think a blaster takes more effort to ride than a 400ex? Both are easy to ride, people might say one is for pussy's but i like riding my blaster, when its running. Besides, I bought my blaster back from my Grandpa only because i missed riding it. I dont understand why everyone is being hateful towards me when the only thing i said was wiseco's are junk.
