I just re-read your post. You say that you think it is starving for gas. When ever my friends blaster is almost out of gas, it starts to rev really high. I bet you have a clogged or kinked fuel line.

When a base gasket on a Blaster lets go, the engine is put in a lean condition. It sucks air in past the blown gasket, causing the air:fuel ratio to lean out. Under these conditions a Blaster motor will rev up really high when it should idle normally.

If it is indeed the base gasket, the motor doesn't need to be ran at all.

If you are having to spray fuel into the carb/motor by hand before it will start, then that is a sure indication that it's pulling air in from somewhere other than the carb.

My two cents worth.

rc 350 is right .. we have a blaster that weve but 4-5-6 pistons in(camp bike...all kindsa riders) at least 4 have been from base gaskets...tell tale sign is, when its hot or just done ridin, the idle wont come down...blaster pistons make great ash trays...
