yea i know,just telling him what does what. So if its running lean it doesnt bog down, it would rev like hell, if tis rich it would bog down and not want to rev much.

u can also bog if u take ur lid off a stock blaster and rejet. not enough fuel to run in mid 3rd and up.
didn't get a chance to check yet. i had class all week but i'll get on it tomorrow
These Blasters love the increase of air and fuel! I'd call rjatv.com to get your jets and block off kit in a couple of days. Before you go ordering jet sizes, pull the one you now have and order bigger sizes.. don't waste your time and money ordering jets you don't need. I'm thinking a 290 300 just fit you fine but don't take my word..
I'd pic up a nice set of 280 290 300 310.. start with the rich jets and work your way down.
Amost betting the 300's will be rich.

id just put the lid back on for now, and thats a stock jet, 230, way too lean for your mods, and you just made it worse , <<takin the lid off, i wouldnt run it again till you richen it up with the jet sizes recommended, or your gonna fry it, if it wasnt for the stock oil injection at 20:1, i'd bet it woulda already seized up

i don't think it would have seized up that quick. i went down my driveway and back (about 200 yds total), noticed it wasn't running right and its been sitting in my garage ever since. and yea i know taking off the lid made it worse thats why i made this thread lol. anyway i just ordered a 290 and a 300 because i see thats most people are using. thanks for everyone's help! i'll keep you posted
under a lean condition you can have a "lean bog" and this is a lean low power condition that does not want to revout. too lean reacts just like a too rich condition.
if he is running this set-up then he needs to go to a bigger main jet and he will need to possibly fatten the rest of the circuits too. if the engine is ported he will even need a bigger main jet. i would say that he may need to go to a up to somewhere in the 330-360 range. i would also check your air screw setting, pilot jet, and needle settings. My recommendation would probably be to go to a bigger carb if he is running the stock 26mm or get it bored to a 30mm like they do at the link below:

here is an excerpt from an article on tuning....
....Ok…what’s the difference between a rich bog and a lean bog… A lean bog is a sudden loss of power with the characteristic boooooooooooowwwwwwwwww exhaust and intake sound, and if it’s way too lean… you will not be able to pull through it without letting off of the throttle a little bit. A rich bog has a much more mellow sound along with a blubber, stutter feeling and you will typically pull on through the range… in time. It should be noted that either one of these situations can be caused by your fuel delivery system or by clogged vent tubes.....
