So when I open up my 2001 blaster after about 3rd or 4th gear going full out... the engine always seems to wanna die all of a sudden...?? It idles perfectly forever and seems to go slow fine in first and second. I dont get it. It seem to be fine a week or two ago. My gas mixture is and always was 40:1. Theres definitely gas getting into the carb.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I would guess at a partially blocked main jet. Cleaning the carb out is the first thing to do. If that doesn't work, try a new plug. Other possibility is the exhaust getting plugged, and restricting the flow of gasses at high RPM, but this usually results in the engine just running out of power.

 

Thanks i will give those a try!
