I have a 2002 Blast and the last time i had rode it was Jan 1st. on the 18th i took it for a ride and about 1/4 mile down the road when i give it gas it will die. Now it will start up just fine and idle just fine but soon as i give it any Gas it dies or sputters out on me any advice? |

Mine is doing the same thing, I haven't spent enough effort to try and fix it, but I believe it is the carb intake boot needing replacement. |

Das boot! Try tightening, if no help, replace.

ok the boot is the rubber coupling secured with two hose clamps between the carb and the intake . look from the right side of the bike against the top of the cylinder opposite the exhaust pipe towards the back . strait screw driver and 5/15 socket with 1/4 drive ratchet should get you tightened. good luck, CV |

sounds like idle speed jet/ main jet tube may be gunked up. Our new ethanol fuel is normally to blame for this. Pull the 4 screws holding on the float bowl. The visible protruding jet one is the main.. pull the whole tube out . should have flats for a wrench..right next to that is a tube with the recessed low speed jet. gets removed with a flat head. These can normally be cleaned up with mechanics wire. Should solve the condition. Soak down junction between the manifold and heads to confirm no intake leaks. |

Your assuming boot is fine - probably not though. The intake coupler is the most troublesome part on a Blast - consistently.
