my friend got a blaster from his girlfriends parents and it has been sittin up for about 7 months, we drained the gas, shot some carb cleaner in the gas hole in the carb and put new gas in it. now everytime he kickstarts it, it will rev normal for a second then it will rev so high you have 2 cut it off
any ideas what we can do 2 fix it?

 

The high reving could be the carb cleaner you sprayed into the carb. Clean out the carb and check the throttle cable to make sure it isn't pulling anywhere.

 

i would say check to make sure the throtle cable is ot sticking anywhere

 

aight we took the carb off and cleaned it completely, and it is still doing it, the man at the yamaha place said it sounded like a air leak?wtf? it cant be the throttle cable because it idles up like that by its self without even hitting the throttle

 

75% of the time the leak is at the reed cage, get a torque wrech and tighten it to 6 ft lbs and it should be good to go, make sure the gasket isnt boogered up

 

well, could it just be ur idle is way too high? try this, under the seat right by the gas tank, loosen that big bolt with the flat tip screwdriver a few turns and paly around with that. how ever, it might not be this, but its posible
