This my first post on this site and i am in need of help. I have a 01 blaster with an electrical problem from hell. It only works when it wants to. This summer I have been getting ready to sell it to help pay for school. There's no where to ride it around that i know of. Plus my parents always need the truck so I can rarely even take it somewhere i can ride. Anyways back to the quad
At the beginning of the summer took the blaster out of my shed and moved it to my garage to start work on it. I change the spark plug and put some carb cleaner in the cylinder, she starts right up. I rev the engine or a couple mins until the smoke goes down. I let the engine die (it doesn't idle thanx to larger carb from a 86 kdx200). I wait a little bit and try to start it up without any fluid which seems to be a challenge for my bike. Things are looking pretty good considering i haven't started it in over a year. The next day I see if i can get it started cold. It doesn't want to start. So i grab some carb cleaner and spray some into the carb. It starts but dies shortly after. So I say its not getting any gas. I clean out the carb really good and things start looking better. It starts up but only with starter fluid or if the engine is hot.
Now we get to where i am at now. I was cleaning it up with a wash to get ready to take pics of it. I wash it up and drive it over to a small opening next to my house. I take the pics and then get on it to drive it back to my garage. It doesn't start. So i grab some carb cleaner and put some in the cylinder. Still doesn't start. I get really pissed and push it back in my garage and curse the thing out.
I just recently put it on ebay to sell. I figured since it was getting gas and has compression that it had to be electrical. Today i took it apart cleaned the wire connections and some grounds with sand paper. I also thought it was the f****** tors unit. I had the unit of the car but the connection was still in the throtle housing and the box was still connected. I cut the wires in the housing and disconected the box. I check to see if the plug is getting any juice. I check and there is voltage. I put the spark plug in to check the plug. Turns out the plug was bad. Lucky since i know this blaster runs through spark plugs like it's its job i have extras laying around. I check to see if that spark plug is good and put some gas into the cylinder. I put everything back together and kick the starter. There is life. It starts but is idling extreamlly high. So i go to start it again but it won't start. So i pour a little more gas in the cylinder and it start but is idling really high. I let it run for a little bit to see if it goes away and it doesn't. I try to start it up again. nothing it won't start. The only way it will start is if i put some type of starting fluid in to the cylinder. Please help.
