BansheeRider576 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 this isn't about a banshee but i own one also if it makes a difference... well my friends blaster has a problem that we are yet to figure out..... whats wrong with it: basically if its and nuetral and idling you can give it gas but only really slow if you rev it too quick the engine dies... when you put it in first it doesn't have the power to move without stalling... you can ride it around the yard if you revv it to redline and work the clutch back and forith alot but stalls a lot and never really gets goin.... oh yea and it ran perfect the other day for like 30 seconds and then it startin doin this no power shit again... so far we played around with the throttle override system... cleaned the carb checked for any mice living in the air box... checked the compression and it read 90 i have a bad compression tester but figured if it was reading 90 it couldn't be a blown piston ring or anything like that..... played around with a lot of electrical stuff and are currently as i speak getting a new spark plug but i dunno.... any ideas???? it would be great if you could help even tho its not a banshee..

BansheeRider576 Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Posted February 29, 2004 i know its not a banshee its a blaster but will someone please help.... any ideas at all cuz im fresh out.. tested coil and its not that either, fuel lines aren't clogged did everthing i can think of ... PLEASE HELP Quote
BansheeRider576 Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Posted February 29, 2004 i know this isn't a banshee we are talking about but will someone please help!!... i've tried everything i can think of... even tested the coil.. im fresh out of ideas of what could be wrong with it.... it revvvs all the way to redline but only if you give it gas really slow if you punch it too quick the engine cuts out and cuts out as soon as you let out the clutch in first as if it was stuck in 6th gear or was out of gas or sumthin.. PLEASE HELP..... Quote
holeshotkid Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 Take the carb off and give it a good cleaning. Disconnect the TORS by unplugging the little black box under the hood. It sounds like your friend has a partially plugged pilot jet. Did you try adjusting the idle mixture screw? After the carb is cleaned again, put in a fresh plug and try it. Quote
BansheeRider576 Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Posted February 29, 2004 we disconnected the TORS already do to having problems with it about a year ago and the carb we just cleaned pretty thoroughly but maybe we will try it again.. like i said after we cleaned the carb the last time and fired it up it ran perfect for about 30 seconds then it stopped for awhile and then started workin once again and now its back to not workin.... i dunno??

MotulMonsta Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 check the reeds...sounds like it's them. there should be no gap in them as they should sit flush on the cage. If they're broken...that's the problem. Quote
BansheeRider576 Posted March 1, 2004 Author Report Posted March 1, 2004 we checked the reeds a few nights ago but im thinking i might pull the carb off again and have another look cuz i can't find anything wrong with it and maybe i didn't get a good view of the reed last time... second time's a charm...

Ducman Posted March 1, 2004 Report Posted March 1, 2004 Blasters are supposed to have compresion around 145 stock if memory serves me right. I think that you can keep operating it untill it gets down to around 110 and then its time for a rebuild. I'd say that the piston and or rings is blown if it is at 90. Quote
BansheeRider576 Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Posted March 3, 2004 your right the compression on a blaster is supposed to be 145 but like i said i have a bad compression tester.. but anyways i took the reed off for a closer examination today and i found that A REED HAD SNAPPED OFF!!!!... hurray i found the problem... thanx every one.. also do you think that the reed that snapped off could pose any harm to my engine or would i jus get sucked right through the engine???
