looked at the spark plug in my blaster and it was wet and covered in wut looks like oil. does that have anything to do with why it wont start? it will run, but only when the throttle is pinned and isnt reving high at all for only a short time. then it'll take another five min or so to make it start again. i think its the valve float. wut u guys think?

sounds like you are getting way too much fuel. go after the carb.

If your floats were stuck your carb would dump fuel out the overflow. raptor8 is right sounds like you are way to rich and isn't starting because it is fouling the plug

you might a flooded it real bad. change the plug and have someone pull you down the road and try to jump start it to clean it out. what do you do to it before it started doing this?
