went and firedup my girlfriends blaster today and it revs. way the F. up. i looked for an air leak and the only thing i could see was a little crack on the rubber manifold that holds the carb to the engine, but it doesn't look like it's all the way through. any suggestions?
reving out of control. HELP!!!

have you tried starting it again?
it might sound like its gonna blow up, then the idles should come back down.
if not then you must have an airleak somewhere.
also try starting it with the choke on full and on half

well maybe it would probably be inbetween the carb and jug, so check right where the reeds are, maybe pull that little black boot off and check to see if its got an airleak.
I had an airleak, and if u touched the idle at all it would try to self destruct
Mine was the crank seal, Smoke a hell of a lot more than it should. (hince its burning tranny oil)

Had the same problem before after replaceing it was fine and know more smoke. lol
That's what I was gonna say,adjust the throttle cable tension where the cable meets the thumb assembly.
so today i pulled the carb off and it looked ok then i checked the gasket for the reeds and that was fine and that boot that bolts over the reeds had a crack on the out side but it didn't go all the way through. the only thing i found was that one of the tubes that comes out of the side of the carbs had fallen off so i put it back on and put everything back together and it runs good now. could that tube been the problem or should i be expecting it to strt revving again soon?
You can't really guarantee that one, mine was doing that right after i replaced my reeds with the power reeds, and i didn't know what was going on, cause i knew i didn't have an air leak, turns out the trottle cable was just twisted up some how and it was pulling the slide open a little, so when you'd turn it on, it'd rev way up, the idle screw wouldn't work, you'd hit the gas and it would barely do anything, it was just my throttle cable. So check that. put it all on, then take off the airbox boot, and look down the carb and see how your throttle is adjusted
Sounds like you have the oil blocked off.. That would mean that its running lean from the extra air coming in through that tube, just secure it on there nice and tight and you should not have to worry about it.
