starting issues plus idle

[htown05blaster]

Good morning fellas,

I'm practically new to the forum and greatful I found you guys. Read over some of the topics that are related to my issues and I wanted to post my own.

My blaster has always rode fine til I took a dive into a bayou having the blaster upside down submerged inthe water. Got her out of the water and the clutch seemed jammed after sometime it became free. Water all in the exhaust. Drained the water by removing the exhaust pipes. Changed gear oil and spark plug.

Now here it goes I can slam the kickstart and it will start but not all the time. Sometime I have to kick it for5 mins or more before it start. Also after it@satart it dies once I let go the throttle. When I try to restart it she will have a popping backfire and then nothing again.

Any thoughts on this? I plan on tearing it all down for a good cleaning had it since 05 and haven't done a good cleaning. But please feel free to give me input before I tear her down.

damn man, you probally messed the cylinder up if it was full of water and crap. take the engine out and remove the cylinder and see whats up.

This is somethtjhing else I forgot to include after the water was removed I was able to ride it for about 20 mins anfd it died out on me/ still turns over and run but won't continue unless I'm holding the gas and rev at pretty high rpm

Another thing I use to be able to start it by holding clutch in and having it in gear.

But now if she is in gear and I have the clutch pullef while trying to start it she will try move foward as if the clutch is grabbing andtrying to move her

Sounds like carb or reeds for the poping and backfire
How's the spark? i would defenitly remove the stator cover and clean it up
(only take like 5,min) and then clean the carb and check the reeds.
How's the air filter ? clean it or replace
If after that it works the do a couple of miles and change the tranny oil
then repeat that sould take care of the clutch grabbing

hope this helps

I've took off the topend and was able to see my piston and it has a chip around the edge.
Wwhat could cause this?

Dirt or water
How is the sleeve ? do you see damage ?

You may have a air leak somewhere.

water could have gotten in the crank area of the motor were the fuel and air mix before going into the cylinder. this could cause water to get on the plug and you would have intermient spark. i would try flushing out the crank to get as much water out as possible. water does evaporate, leaving it open and in the sun should help.
