I have a Blaster with stock motor, aftermarket pipe and silencer and airfilter. It was running kind of rich (chocolate brown plug) before I installed a new set of reeds and a reed spacer. I started it up and it ran for about 20 seconds then it died. It was out of gas. So I put more in and now it won't start at all. I check the plug and it is wet so it is getting gas and I am going through new plugs. Could it be that the new reeds and spacer could have made it even richer so it's fouling before it can even fire??? Or should the reeds and spacer make it leaner, I don't know?? HELP!!

 

Yeah, you are really running rich after putting in a new set of reeds. The aftermarket reeds are allowing more fuel and air through than stock so you need to jet down at least probably a couple of sizes. I had the same problem with my Banshee when I installed new reed valves but I went down a couple of sizes and that fixed the problem.

 

How does the Reed spacer affect ?

 

I have checked the obvious and it does have a good spark.
