Hi guys I have a 03 blaster that does not run above idle, it acts like it is against a rev limiter. the short story is I got this from a guy that said it quit while riding in his yard and it had no spark now. I checked and it had spark, but the motor would kick back like the timing was off, so removed the flywheel and found there was no keyway in the crank for the flywheel. it was not sheared off it was just gone. put a new key and wham it starts and runs but wont rev up. I know the common thing is the parking brake switch but that didn't do it. I removed everything from the harness that i thought was not needed. the rear brake light, oil injection, brake switch for the front brake to activate the brake light, the rear footbrake switch for the rear brakelight, the oil injection light, ignition key, and the tors system. When i got done the headlight and off switch on the handle bars is all i wanted. but it wouldn't start. I would start and stall. then i found if you ground the yellow with black stripe wire it will fire up and run but runs like its against a rev limiter. from the reading I've done on this forum it seems that wire is the parking brake wire that should not be grounded cause if its grounded it causes the rev limiter problem. Also i did check the reeds and found them to be ok. they are carbon fiber reeds. this thing will start on the first kick everytime with the yellow/black wire grounded just won't rev. I am not sure where to go now and would appreciate any help
thanks george
