Sounds like it's due for a rebuild. Check your compression. A blaster should be between 112 - 120 pounds. Any less and you'll be doing some wrenching.

 

Well thats not all, im not sure if it was when i hit the front brakes and they locked and held but i dont think that was it, it make a sound like the piston siezed in the the clynder for a second and i belive it locked the rear up and then it just went away and was still running, it was really wierd, i dunno its a pretty loud rattle it makes and the noise it made was like a shriek like the piston was stuck and trying to move, i dunno it runs real good tho.

Mine was good for about a year then started making weird noises. I blaster is very very easy to rebuild the top end. It should cost you under $100 especially if you don't need a piston. I had to get one because mine was very scored from hitting the wall and it had a odd spot on it due to it sticking in the cylinder over one of the intake ports. being that yours has been going for three years, a rebuild will make that thing feel like a brand new machine.

 

Just rebuild it
