Hello everyone. So one week from Sunday (Oct 7) I bought a 2001 Blaster. It had an oil leak coming out of the right hand crankcase. I ordered the part from www.yamahaaccy.com. With a 4 day weekend coming, I waited and got inpatient and bought a "cut your own gasket" material (today is Oct 9 and the part still isn't here). I put it on Friday afternoon, everything was perfect. Rode all day Saturday after rejetting and rebuilding the Carb. Didn't ride Sunday. Yesterday, I went to start the blaster and it took more than last time to start. Well, I choked the carb and all of sudden fuel came from everywhere in the exhaust pipe (head, silencer, and joint). I cleaned it up because I thought I flooded it. I was putting around on it and was about a mile from my house when all of a sudden my blaster stopped. I immediately checked fuel level, 3/4 tank. I then thought, it must be the float again. I tried to kick it back over and it seized on me. I couldn't believe it! I thought for sure the rings were stuck to the sides because I wasn't really riding fast and it was hot.
Well, I didn't push it back the entire mile but I did go get my truck to tow it back. Finally got it back and started tearing it apart. When I took off the exhaust pipe, there were pieces of metal in the pipe that fell out. I took the head off, then the lower head. Well when I got there, there were large pieces of metal sitting under the piston on either side of the crank. I took the piston off and started to research what it should look like.
After research was complete, I closely inspected my piston, much to my suprise, the entire intake side of the piston was lying in my crank!!!
Now that I have the blaster torn down to nothing, I have found that out what I have though:
(edited) Stock Head 66mm (not bored)
Vito's Performance Piston and rings
28mm Carb
V-Force Reeds and Reed Cage
White Bros Clutch
White Bros Front Suspension
White Bros Rear Suspension
14 tooth Sprocket
Polished Rear Aluminum Rims
Holeshot tires
(TM) Oil Block Off Kit
FMF Fatty Pro
FMF PowerCore II silencer
Repacked silencer with steel wool
I am sure there is more, I just can't think of it all.
Anyone have any suggestions about this dilemma I am in?
