Ok heres whats going on im having trouble starting my blaster and when i do get it started it runs like crap- bogging down, no powerband goindead wont start, ect. So i cleaned the gas tank, petcock, carb, I was thinking it had trash in the gas. Its fouling spark plugs. I have the banshee carb on it 34mm keihin. Once iget it started it starts first kick everytime so its got descent compression. But once i start to drive it runs like ass then goes back to being hard to start. But theres no gas runoff whatsoever. I leave the gas on all the time because the gas will never drain out. When im trying to get it to start it sound like its not getting gas. Do i need new floats or the seat or do i new to do a complete rebuild of the carb I just dont know what to do now. When i do drive it power is kicking on and off. Usually it will go dead after a few minutes of riding. Then takes a while to start back up, but when it does most of the time it has alot more power than before. Ive tried to name every sympton i could think of so hopefully i can get some good help. I need to sell it for a good price so i want people to feel its power when they test drive. Although i havent measured the bore or know much about the engine not much about it is stock i dont want to sell it for scrap. Also its lowered and i was wondering where i can get suspension to fit it because its on shocks just setting on themselves. The stock are way to long. I can go measure what size i need . Thanks

well first off... you need to trade me carbs. mine is stock and i just rebuilt it. so i will trade you straight across.I:I and you probably have an air leak. you need to do a compression test to check compression with a compression testor and you need to do a leakdown test. holeshotman sells leakdown testers.
Im just kidding by the way. Im sorry nut i really think it ha good compression. I havent done a test but like i said the power can kick on and off. When it does run right its running numbers like my rm 250 Its drag setup by the way I really think its a fuel problem
damn man. you had me on the first post. i was about to log onto my paypal. but you never know how your compression is until you do a compression test. i dont know about those carbs, but have you done a plug chop? and you can also make your own leakdown testor
