hello everyone. just bought my blaster a few nights ago. It ran great when i tested it out, got home cranked over first kick. A few hours after sitting nothing, thought maybe I flooded it or something. Tried again next day still cant kick her over at all. I was wondering what it means if there is fuel in the tube that connects to the filter? I also noticed the gasket the guy used on the reed case looks like crap. I noticed 2 different types of sylicone and 1 dry gasket on there. Ill be scraping all those off and putting a dry gasket on.
pissed off noobie

well on that reed gasket, people used sylicone cause sometimes you cant get your reed cage to stop leaking. i have vforce delta 2 reeds and i had changed my gaskets over and over and it still had an air leak. finally i used sylicone with my gaskets and it doesnt leak anymore. as for the hose going to the intake? i dont know what your talking about. are you talking about the hose that goes down towards the floor? if so then your floats are stuck. clean your carb or adjust your floats
I like a little bit of sealer on my reed gasket. Silicone sucks tho, I use Permatex Aviation-Form-a Gasket, it's gas resistant.
As for the gas in the airbox tube, yeah sometimes they do that a little when you are kicking and not starting. Also can happen really bad when the reeds have a problem. How do they look?
How does your plug look? Is it nice and wet like you flooded it? How is your spark?

As long as you aren't pulling dirt, I would save the boot for later. Alot of guys here pull them off so getting a used one won't be a prob.
Spark and fuel but no fire sounds like timing. You might want to take off the left side cover and see if the flywheel is still tight. Sometimes people don't tighten the bolt well enough and it comes loose and shears the key.
If it is tight you can let it go for the moment, keeping in mind that you may yet want to get a puller and inspect the key visually.

Sometimes we all forget the obvious, simple possibilities....What does the air filter look like?
The guy told me it was a new plug. It did look new just covered in fuel. It is sparking. The air filter looked clean but the guy used a ton of sillicone on the bottom of it so its bent now that i removed it. I see the guide holder part online for 20 bucks but i will have to wait a week to ride it. I am dying to ride it.
I really think the fuel might be the problem. Could have been sitting in it for a long time or something.
