Well I completely assembled this bad boy, minus motor... and drove it down to the shed. THEN, as i ram it up into the shed cause i was too lazy too put ramps up it died. I did not check spark, but it has good fuel still.

let's just say i may or may not have checked how much oil i mixed in my gas and it could be anywhere from like 15:1 to 30:1... i think...

Do these things like to foul plugs? hopefully that's it. But i ain't going out there till its warmer.

ps. why is it 29 out when it was like 50 6 days ago?

I'm confused. Did you just put the engine back together and it's in the Blaster? Was it running fine before? At any rate, turn the mixture screw on the side of the carb 1 full turn in and try to get it up the ramp. Warm it good first before you even do that though. I mean it has more of a load so it's going to be harder to get up a ramp.

Yea i didn't get that either. You put it together minus the motor, so how did it die if the motor wasn't in it?
 
i think he meant he but the blaster together (but didnt touch the motor) its in the bike. yes running rich like that will foul a plug pretty quick. id go and pick up and mixing cup so you can run a proper ratio. also did you clean the carb or air filter while it was apart?
