Hey guys. I posted earlier under Carb questions. Not many responded, but anyway, it turns out it wasn't the carburator at all. When I had the 2nd rebuild on the Blaster, the guy who bored it overbored the cylinder which meant the piston was loose and rattling. The piston ring broke and got jammed in the Exhaust port. So it had no compression which meant it couldn't open up the reeds to get fuel. After $300, the problem is solved. I don't recommend going to Gengler's of Lakeland, Fl. I'd go to Barney's of Brandon. Much better mechanics. Anyway, thanks to the guy that posted, and to all the others, THANKS FOR NOTHIN !!!

Your first question was pretty vague, thats probally why not many people responded? From your description I would have NEVER guessed a busted ring... Did it mess anything up?

No. I just bought a $200 carb that I didn't even nedd. But I'll keep it. I wanted it anyway.
