hey yall i just bought a 1998 blaster and it has some trouble starting. im wearing myself out trying to kick start it. lol. i need to kno whats going on. i just replaced the spark plug. i changed the breaks on it the other nite and i had it jacked up which pushed the gas all the way back and when i lowered it the engine started right up but when i tried to start it again it wont start. it is the most emo 4wheeler ive ever seen. please help!!! lol
 
If you just got it, I would go through the carb and clean it. I would also pull the gas tank off and clean it out really good. Also remove the fuel valve on the bottom of the gas tank and clean it as these get cruddy(technical term) as well.
 
Did it backfire when it died? If it did be sure to check your woodruff key that holds the flywheel on and make sure its not sheared, I wore myself out for like 2 weeks and never thought it would be the key and it was. And also I would check the reeds.
