MY 2004 blaster special update

[Racer51]

Well guys my dad just got off the phone with the mechanic that worked on my blaster the prevoious owner sent it to. It dosent look to good, but at least it wasent anything I did that was wrong in any way. He said I had very low compression and is more than likely fried piston rings. Cause the comp. was at 65psi or so and said it was probably not broken in at all and was riden very hard by the guy I got it from. But meraculously the piston is ok to reuse so far.

Play it safe and get the bore and the piston measured, it is not only the rings that wear in a hard ridden motor.

Fried piston rings also happen if the jetting is off by just a little, check that your main suits your mods.

Before the main was stock 230 now it's at 260 in it now and have a 270 for an elevation of 550-625. Yea i know, so far so good though. My mods are FMF fatty w/turbinecore pipe, VF3 reeds brand new, 26 mm carb with 260 main and a 32.5 pilot without a lid at 1 1/2 turns out ,on the air screw and a uni airfilter............. Sooooo i'm shure im pretty close.

260 may be a touch lean, id throw in a 280. your scenario is not too bad, find out what condition your piston and cylinder are in as you may need to replace the piston and rebore

I know thats what I told him...thanks guys

Although not completly your fault, the jetting was little off and it would have been running lean.

It is very hard to tell if it is just a little lean, as it will perform well and show no signs of bogging, but slowly and surely fry the piston and rings.

When you get it fixed you need to bump up the main jet and confirm it with a plug chop.

Well guys it's not to good at 6:15PM I learned my blaster is dead. It had 1 hair line crack on both of the rings, so broke rings. Piston is scored pretty bad so probably not useable. No news on the cylinder but i'm pretty shure I cant use it eatheir and the crank is pretty bad from what my dad told me IDK what I wasent given details for my own good but it's bad.....it's damn near flatlining. The only good thing that works is the tranny.
But hopefully 01blast3r's blaster can be the organ doner for some $$$ for all the parts I need. So there's a crack in the wall and hopefully there's some sunshine when I look through it. Cause when I heard it would cost me at least $800 for her to live again but i'd be completely broke it was like a punch in the gut for about an hour. While mixed with frantically looking for parts for about 3 hours. Thanks for listening guys
