I just got my blaster all done and finally took it out last weekend.
Everything was fine until I stopped to pull the plug and check it over and noticed that the IDLE set screw was missing from the side of the carb.Luckily i had a vacuum cap and plugged it and adjusted the throttle cable to get it to idle.

The thing runs good and showed no signs of damage other than a low idle speed.After getting it home i pulled the plug and using a mirror and flash light looked into the cylinder and other than running rich it looked normal.

I ordered a new idle set screw but my question is what if any damage do you think I may have done?The plug looked great and showed no signs of leaning out and neither did the top of the piston.
 
i'm with the other guys...if it seems ok, it probably is and you caught it soon enough not to hurt it
 
I'm going to go out on a limb and say your engine is trashed. A complete overhaul is now needed. Knowing that your Blaster needs a whole new engine I will give you one Benjamin Franklin for it. Haha
