2001 Yamaha Blaster wont start

[Talon]

i was out riding and i heard a sound that was like a snap and my bike shut off and wouldn't start back up and the only thing that i can visually find wrong is there is a crack in the exhaust. would the crack in the exhaust keep it from starting?? or any other ideas of what it might be

wen u turn the key is the starter trying to turn the engine over or u hear nothing...wat year is the blaster? is it ridden hard? was it like a chain snapping noise? or was it a glunk? has it been serviced lately? also check the oil and tell me if it is black and if it has any metal shavings or anything in it? and if it is full?

its a kick start. but when i kick it it sounds like it wants to turn over. before it would start on the first or second kick each time. i think it an 2001. its been rode fairly easy. kind of like a tree branch snapping. new oil and plug but thats about it. i'll try to get around to draining it tommorrow and check it but it is full i did check that

an engine needs 3 things to start... fuel, air, and spark... so check to see if you have spark and getting fuel... if you have both then i would check your reeds for damage, do a compression test, and a case pressure test... could you tell where the snap sound came from?

there no fuel getting to the spark. reeds look good compression is good. how do i do a case pressure test??? no couldnt tell where the snap came from. could of just been a branch that i ran over right when it died but im not sure

Ok,,,,,So you say you were going over some logs.....???? How about your Float in the Carb got stuck.....You ran your Bowl out of Fuel.....To check this....Turn the Screw at the bottom of the Carb counterclockwise.....if there is fuel in there it will run out......

just check the fuel itself. i dont even think about it sometimes. i have a blaster too :] mine is in pieces in my garage though

fuel is on and full

So you have fuel, but no spark..right? Check your electrical connections, plug, wire, etc.

Check your flywheel key, you will need a flywheel puller if you don't have one, your local dealer does and they are cheap. Also check your ignition components, that snap you heard could have been an exploding electrical component, if so, you should be able to smell the problem part.
