hello everone, i am new to this forum thing. i have a fustrating problem with my 03 blaster... its kickstart as you all know but my quad takes at least 10 misn of kicking till it starts. i dont no if i am wrong or right but i herd it takes about two kiks or a few to start it up.. if i am wrong please correct me or tell me how to fiz this problem i would greatly appeciate your answers thank you.

 

read your jetting thread

get a new plug while you are at it

 

Just pour a half-cup of gas (gas/oil premix) directly on the air filter, and it will start right up. That's how I start my blaster and banshee if they are cold and have been sitting for a while. Done it for years, no problem.

 

I don't ride a 2-stroke but a friend showed me how he starts his and this has worked for me (barring the motor being FUBARed anyways). Slowly kick the bike 3 times. You're not trying to start it, just priming the motor. Fourth kick you jump on it. Warm it up. Ride.

but when i try to start it it takes at least 10 mins to get it running and warmed up.. is that normal?

 

Its normal to take a while to warm up. While its warming up it will act a little funny, but thats normal.
Try turning your air screw in, or bump the pilot up one size.

 

were is the air screw located? also i have never heard of jetting scince yesterday and people are saying thats probebly why what is that thank you..

 

The air screw is on the left hand side of the carb in the rear where the airbox attaches to it. It's a small screw that you need to screw in. It adjusts your fuel/air mix at a idle. Turn it in a little at a time until you find a spot that works good.

Jetting is what controls your air fuel mix. As you add mods to your bike you need to adjust the jetting, or as the tempature or elevation changes you also need to adjust it.

 

thanks also i have 1 more question...scince its winter how should i adjust it?

 

based on your responses on this thread and others,,,,,i would say,,,,,dont touch your carberator
