Need Blaster Help (falling flat on top end)


KFx400jim

Recommended Posts

OK, I bought a blaster for my wife. It's in great shape but it falls flat early on top end. It seems the worst in 1st and 2nd gear. As you get up through the gears it seems to be a bit better. I have pulled the carb and cleaned it. It didn't help at all.

Can anyone tell me what the stock jet sizes are? Also, what should the mixture settings be for a bone stock Blaster? I am at 5000 feet in New Mexico

If anyone knows another reason, please speak up.

I need to check the needle setting. I just pulled the carb apart and cleaned everything. Like a dumb as*, I didn't write any of the settings or jet sizes down before I reassembled it. I'll check the plug again too. I just went and replaced it when I bought the quad

Just out of curiosity, what should the compression read? I just want to check it.

my DAD is famous for the barrel chariot....

is this pick on r8 day?

by the way, it's off topic, so let's put it back on topic.

I've known Stuart since I lived in california, shortly after the dinosaurs died off. When the volcanoes cooled I moved to Oregon. I was having the exact same problem so I called him for advice. Here I am just passing on what he said. I have a lot more friends too.

For awhile there Toomey was talking about moving up here to be nearby Rob Muzzy as well as Powroll Ind. But I guess he changed his mind.

the TOOMEY B1 kit not only is the pipe, but jets, airfilter, instructions, lots more stuff. on mine we changed the main jet from 230 to 320 and lifted the needle one step. Also used the unifilter in the kit and left the airbox lid off. IT WORKED GREAT!

If you cant fidure it out, we can call Toomey industries and ask them- they are very nice about helping people and they have a pretty cool website too.

anubis mentioned tires and that's a good point: the stockers SAY 20 but they are so balloonish they are actually 22 inch. I used ITP 20" XCR on the back and they are noticeably shorter- that solved my gearing problem.

let us know how it goes.:wink:

I have a set of 20" Innova's ready to throw on it already. I was really surprised how well they worked and held up on my KFX so I bought a set for the Blaster. I have been working 12 hour shifts and get home when it's dark so, I haven't had a chance to pull the airbox lid just yet. I'm going to do it this weekend and see how it goes

make sure u run it at 32/1 and change the oil after every week . i also recomend drilling a hole into the rear axle carrier and putting in a grease fitting if it dont already have one

Why 32/1????? Why not 40 or 50???? With ANY Two Smoke....With proper Adjustments you can Run whatever you want....I have a 25 yr old Pinger that I run 50:1 in.....Runs like a top....Changing the oil weekly can get Expensive and there really isnt any need for that unless you are putting 50 hrs a week on it.....

What will Drilling a Whole in the Carrier do????? All you will have is a Greasy axle and no lube on the Bearings where you need it....Stick with the proper way to Grease the Carrier Bearings and you will be fine.....Hell,,,,,,Whenever Im in there I just replace them.....

This is just MY opinion though.....

      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

      Hey all!
      I'm on a mission to buy my first UTV soundbar as a gift for my dad(a newbie on ATV). I'm aiming for something that offers great sound quality without breaking the bank – my budget is around $250. Right now, I'm considering options like ecoxgear, kemimoto, and boss.
      Does anyone have experience with these brands or specific models that you'd recommend? Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated!

      Hey all back again with my 1989 moto 4 250.
      After putting a new carb on it it's really sputtery, it has new gas and I'm wondering what to tune on the carb to make it idle better. I've attached a video to describe the issue more. The bike is still work in progress but I think the video gets the point across. Thanks!

      Recently picked up a 1991 Lt230e for repair. Compression is a little low Id say, around 80psi, I also have spark but the spark is odd . When cranking the spark is a constant arc. I’ve got it to sputter but never fully turn on. I believe the spark is my issue, being constant and not detonating at the right time. I’m not sure whether this issue is an electrical fault like some missing ground, a faulty cdi, or a timing issue. Any ideas where I should start?

      Hello folks, my machine wound up with I think water in the tank etc. It runs but speeds up and slows back down randomly. When not running I don't see gas dripping  from the drain nipple on bottom of float bowl and drain screw is closed tight. With normal idle speed I see no leaking. When the idle speed increases quite a bit on it's own, gas appears to start slowly dripping from float bowl drain nipple? I'm wondering if the carb is flooding and the gas is actually coming from higher up and just appears, to be coming out of nipple but, is actually running down the sides of the nipple? I put a kit in the factory Mikuni carb last year after sitting for a while and I think the gas in the jug I used had drawn moisture. I plan to pull the carb tomorrow and clean everything out. I was just curious if anyone else thinks it's probably something in the carb and is, acutally a flooding problem? Thanks Folks! 🙂
