Ok Guys you helped me before on this bike but now have a bad issue. Like I said before I bought a 03 blaster. Ran ok, revving all over the place though. Got it to settle down alittle by adjusting the idle on the TORS. Well we headed out camping this weekend. Started the bike let it warm up for a few and rode fine. Wife took it for a spin for about 5 minutes and came back and parked it. I went to start it about 4 hours later and fires right up. But if you give it gas it falls on its face. Will not rev up at all. Pulled the filter and it was oild pretty bad. So I cleaned it. Still no change. Took the carb off and my buddy looks at it and says everything there seems good. Put it all back together and same issue. We tryed by passing the electrical side of the TORS. Pulled the tank off and made sure nothing was shorting out. well after about 3 hours of messing with it, we gave up. I started it up this morning and same issue. What could have gone bad that fast? Do you think the TORS went bad? I can't think of what else it could be. Im lost. I feel bad, I bought this bike for her and she didnt even get to ride it this whole weekend that we where out.

broken reeds

bad crank seal on the clutch side...very common blaster problem.

what does the plug look like?

this might sound stupid...but they choke didnt get left on by chance?

 

the tors on the blasters will shut spark down 100%...so it wont just fall on its face.it will shut off altogether.

have you done a compression test?

 

i would check the crank seal and reeds first though. the clutch side seal is easy enough to fix so no worries if thats the problem.

i read on one of your previous posts about the blaster that you still have the oil injector connected AND your mixing your gas....your going to foul plugs like crazy...i would at least pull the clutch side cover off and remove the white gear...leave everything else there and cap off the oil line to the carb with a vacuum plug from an auto parts store.

these pics might help if youve never had the side case off before

if you remove the kicker nut and kicker, when you pull the cover off, put pressure on the kicker shaft so it stays on the engine case...that way you wont have to fight aligning the springs when you put it back together.

just in case you find the kicker shaft off...this will help with where the springs go

heres the gear you need to remove.

no no no Im not mixing gas and doing oil injection. I was asking about it that time cause a buddy had said it was a good idea. I didnt think so. So that is why I asked on here.

 

 

The plug looks fine. I changed it out there and no difference at all. My friend had mentioned the reeds. But had no way of pulling them off out in the desert he said. How do I check that?

Sorry.. Asking how to check them. I am just learning this stuff.. Give me a stereo and I can do wonders. LOL.

 

That is why I am lost on what to check for.

oh...pull the carb off

take the 4 allen bolts holding the rubber intake manifold to the jug off

the reed cage will come off with the manifold(2 seperate pieces...manifold and reed cage)

see if either of the reed pedals are cracked, chipped or warped, they should sit flat against the reed cage.

Ok thank you on all the help. I figured it out. I pulled the reeds and all that looked good. So I kept looking and looking. Well it ended up being that the override switch on the clutch lever. The parking brake thing. It would not disengage. Popped the assembly out and pushed in the switch and worked fine. Took the switch and wiring out and it is great again. Thanks for all the help on what to look for guys.
