Hey guys. I have been having some real scary problems out of my Blaster lately. It started a couple days ago but a trail ride yesterday made me realize they might be a little worse then I though. First off I can't coast or idle.

if the quad does not have constant gas it will shut off on me. This caused some problems going down hill. I can't idle at all and it was just all around annoying not being able to hold my clutch in downhill. I have no idea what it could be.

Also I have been having power problems. It's been real difficult getting into my power band and the machine just won't go up hills. I had to putter up in first pinned on practically every hill yesterday.

It has a fresh plug and clean air filter and it sounds fine while its running. It was recently rebuilt so surely this isn't about to blow up on me. I need some real help guys. I'm clueless.

 

pull the carb apart and clean the jets. i'd start there.

 

Yep sounds like your pilot jet could be clogged.

 

Thanks guys I will be sure to try to clean it. Can you give me a clue on what causes this so I can prevent it?

 

solids, debris, letting it sit too long without running, lack of fuel filter, fuel filter degradation. when you pull the jets out, you'll see it doesn't take much to plug up the orifices. here's a video on how to do it. now the carb in the video won't be identical to your carb, but the principle is the same.
