my 2001, blaster i just did a complete top end, .020 over wiseco, and bore job, also installed a reed spacer from nac's. the thing was running great breaking it in like any 2 stroke should, all the sudden it just made so noize from the kicker area, so i shut it off, started right back up, and then shut off on its own. the motors not locked, seized, or any top or bottom end problem, it still has gobs of compression, and smooth turning over action. the kicker however seems as if it will not grab, it only "grabs" when i kick it over by hand, but when i do a fast normal kick it just slips, or gets a half of kick. could the kick starter spring, or gear be miss alinged i know the cover has been off before. please help me i could use a few pointers being i just spent some more money on it.

and yes the jetting is spot on
i have

FMF gold series
Turbine core SA
uni filter
reedspacer
all new cometic gaskets
plug is the coffie brown, not alot of oil, but not dry or drenched.

 

i dont know exactly what ur saying, but it is very possibly that where you kick starter goes on, it has to line up with a set of gears, and it could be that those gears might somehow start to be getting worn away, causing it to slip during a fast motion. however, that would have nothing to do with it while it is running.

 

i am guessing that it is the spring from being the kicker that slipped out of the groove? am i correct.
