Author Message   Sharpshooter035 Posted on Monday, June 03, 2013 - 09:24 pm:        I'm sure this has already been mentioned somewhere,but.... Two years ago I got a 2002 Blast with a little over 2000 miles on it. It now has 2269 miles. Late in the riding season I ripped the intake boot. I replaced it and put it up for the winter. Got it out last season it won't start. I went through the obvious and put fresh fuel in it put a new plug in it. It would crank but not run. I took it to a shop where he tore the carb down cleaned it. He told me it would run when spraying fuel into it. Then long story short the bike was put on the back burn until this year. Now I finally narrowed part of the problem. I just replaced the auto-enricher friday and put a new battery in it yesterday. Now It starts and runs for maybe 2 minutes then dies out. If you give it any throttle while its running it dies out. Some times it has a slight backfire and/or do what I would call a cough and push a little white smoke back out the carb. Could this be a simple carb adjustment? Disclaimer- I'm not very mechanically inclined. I know enough to get by, but thats it.

Thanks   Sharpshooter035 Posted on Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - 04:00 pm:        Adjusted the Airscrew as directed but did not change anything.   Ezblast Posted on Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - 02:13 am:        Das Boot?   Sharpshooter035 Posted on Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - 03:17 pm:        It's a new boot.   Sharpshooter035 Posted on Thursday, June 06, 2013 - 12:28 pm:        Now I have the bike idling without choking out, but once throttle is twisted bike wants to cut out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvEEfF0xyRo (Message edited by Sharpshooter035 on June 06, 2013)   Ezblast Posted on Friday, June 07, 2013 - 01:36 pm:        Guestimate where is the bike idling - 1000 to 1200 is normal. Cables lined up and loose? Safeties disabled - kickstand and clutch switch? EZ   Sharpshooter035 Posted on Friday, June 07, 2013 - 03:37 pm:        I had crap gummed up in the carb side petcock, Running now but just have a slight backfire when leaving off the throttle.   Ezblast Posted on Friday, June 07, 2013 - 05:40 pm:        Turn airscrew out 1/8th turn. EZ   50w Posted on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 - 04:21 pm:        Since it has sat for a while, and you mention that you had some gummed up parts, it wouldn't hurt to add some Sea Foam to the gas to help clean up the carb.   Ezblast Posted on Friday, June 14, 2013 - 02:26 pm:        Fresh 91 octaine gas.
