I bought my blast about 2 months ago, and it has been a little fussy, but no major problems. i've figured out that the stock carb boot sucks, and i've replaced it with a stiffer piece of radiator hose, and the boot has been working fine. But another problem has developed.... The bike pulls hard as it accelerates, but once i hit 70mph, the power goes away, the bike starts to sputter, and i cant get past 65 mph. I was able to squeeze about 95 out of it. i've scanned the forums and everyone i've seen with a loss of top end speed, has lost acceleration as well, and my acceleration is ideal. possibly an ignition problem?? no trouble starting, idling, or accelerating, only a loss of top end speed. Any suggestions??? |

sigh - ditch fake boot and get a real one. primary too tight, and clutch too tight. EZ |
