My friends motor on his blaster just stopped. It wont start or even attempt to. Anyone have any ideas of what it could be?

 

is there any compresion put your hand at the end of the pipe have your friend kick it and see if you feel any "air" come out

 

YEAH IF U CAN HOLD THE AIR IN WHILE HE KICKS IT OVER ITS BLOWN UP DOOD IVE DONE IT TO MINE THREE TIMES LOL ITS ALL GOOD ITS A TWO STROKE THERE MEANT TO BLOW UP

 

no there not i have one runns great.

 

-is it getting spark

- check compression: take the spark plug out and put your finger over the hole as someone kicks it over: if there is quite abit of air flow out of the sparkplug hole it has compression, but if the air pressure isnt strong enough to move your finger its blown up.

- check wiring (there could be a couple of wires that have rubbed themselfs bare and is grounding it out)that happed to me once on my blaster: the sodder in the kill switch broke and it was grounding out on another wire

- spray ether in the air cleaner: if its getting spark it should make some noise: take the air filter off so you get a better shot into the carb

-could be a dirty carb, sometimes the smallest speck of dirt could make the difference between run and not running.

-two strokes are pretty simple just about all they need to run is gas, spark, air and compression

-i'd start with spraying ether (make sure the kill switches are on, that might help if it wants to start) and compression first

 

yeah i have a blaster there great bikes and run good but you have to rebuild the crap out of them at least once a year im just saying they blow up there a two stroke thats why im selin mine and geting a yfz450

 

you can see if it has spark by taking the plug out and lay it on the head and kick it over the spark plug should spark

 

u know my buddy s blaster went 4 yrs with out a rebuild . if theres no spark it could be the tors on top of the carb too

 

does he ride it every day like i do does he ride it hard and does he race thats why i have to rebuild mine it blows up

 

ive never blown my blaster up i race harescrambles and motocross with mine and have for about 4 years and never blown it up. and i do rev the **** out of it to. every winter i put a new piston and rings in it to make sure but ive never once had a problem with my motor. then again you might be a little harder on yours then i am on mine.
