So my exhaust/reeds/jets/spacer/filter came the other day, I put the pipe/silencer on today because I don't know how to do reeds/jets so my friend is doing them for me tommorow, but latley my bike has been acting wierd, when I rev it, it seems like there is a strain on the motor, it wants to stall all the time.

I took it for a spin last night before the pipe/silencer was on and when I started slowing down from 6th gear it just dead stalled on me, doesn't idle either, will stall unless you give it gas, I am dumbfounded by it, it got wet the other day and I had to drain a shitload of water out of it, but it ran fine the rest of that day (Sunday)...

Where did the water get into exactly,the exhaust airbox????Might be a bad plug might be bad jetting,but if it happened after the drowning it could be somethin worse!

 

The pipe went under, but it stayed running for a second then died. Pulled the plug under the bike and some water came out, then loosened a screw on the carb because my friend said water is heavier/lighter then fuel so it tries sucking water through the carb, the airbox was dry still.

Kicked it a few times and nothing, then a few more and it turned over. I never thought about the plug, anyone know what plug I should run in a 2002 blaster? I am gonna pick one up tommorow because it's never been changed anyway.

This happened before the pipe so I know it's not the jetting, but it's getting jetted tommorow anyway because it runs like *** right now with pipes on it, atleast it sounds good. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

did it run fine before you put the pipe on? my mojave ran fine and idled but now it idles like a dirtbike and bogs because I put a peformance pipe on it The soultion is to rejet so it gets the right amount of fuel

 

Well I have funny luck with jetting, I bought a 146 and a 148. It runs fine on the stock 145, it runs fine on the 148, but the 146 makes it miss all through mid range, Sounds just like a two stroke.

My guess for what is wrong with yours, not getting enough spark (get a new NGK same as the one you have). You didnt mix the gas right, or it could just be the jetting. Maybe a jet is clogged. Just open her up and spray carb and choke cleaner through every jet and passage you can get to from the float bowl.

 

For whoever asked, It was running like this for a few days before I put the pipe on, I only took it out real quick with the new pipe on it.

Like I said it may be a foul plug because it's never been changed in the year ive owned the bike [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I'll try a new plug tommorow along with the jets/reeds and see what happends, hopefully that's all that is wrong with it!

 

yeah i think yer right. finish the job [jetting] clean the crab out well while you're there, and install a new plug. i'll bet yer problem goes away.
