My Blaster will not idol.

It will start first kick when I spray carb cleaner in it but as soon as I give it gas, it dies...

I have cleaned the carb COMPLETELY... what could be the problem?

sounds like it isn't getting fuel...maybe a clogged fuel line or filter. Pull the fuel line off the carb and turn the gas on. See if it flows.

Just did another experiment! pulled the air intake off and no fuel is getting to the carb!!!!

I am able to drain fuel from the tank to the carb via the fuel pipe/tube. Is there a way to spray carb cleaner in that intake to clean something out??? What would be preventing gas from getting in the carb?

sounds as if you have a cloged jet or somthing out of wack on the adjustments, you said you get fuel to the carb, but none thru the carb, also check your float level, it may be sticking......

That was it!!! Some lever/shutter was stuck. The one right after the main jet was STUCK shut! Once that was "poked" tested the gas going to the float and sure enough... ran straight through! Put it back together and now it purrs like a kitten!!!!


Thanks everyone!
