Can anyone help me out with this one? i have an 01 blaster. once i ride for a little bit, like 30 minutes, i get to the high gears and start flying and all of a sudden the engine sputters until it dies. whats the cause of this? just overheated or does yamaha put something on blasters if they run too hard? much thanks,
sam

 

it could be a jetting prob.

when you bought it did you get a little bag of jets??

 

what elevation do you ride at???

 

i live in missouri so the elevation shouldnt be a prob. however, i bought it used from a friend and he had FMF exhaust and silencer put on i dont know about the jets though. if i need them, are they easy to put on and how much $$? thanks bud

 

Sounds like it's running lean and overheating.

You need to find out what size main and pilot is in the bike.

 

ok...went riding on sunday, blaster sputtered twice and died. i also noticed that it doesnt idle correctly. what i mean is that i have to keep giving it gas or it will idle for a minute then die. also when i go down big hills, i have to keep revving it up and giving it gas or it will die. can someone assist me with any thoughts? thanks for the help

 

you can get the jets at a deeler for very cheap.

my blaster engine doesn't idle iether.

I have no clue about the rest.

I could ask my dad next time I talk to him.

sorry for the late responce, the thread called cancer in other atv topics will explain.

 

ya it could be runnin lean to.

 

I think if it were just lean, you wouldn't have all of these problems. I think you're up for a whole carb cleanout. Make sure your air filter is passing air as well.

 

You probably need to clean out your jets and air filter. If that doesn't work, get a bigger jet size
