blaster carb is a nightmare!!!

[8-ball]

this thing has been cleaned twice already and now I'm having troubles with the float stickign and dumping all of my gas out.. and I lost the idle screw out of it also.. this thing is juust really becoming a huge pain the motor fires right up i dont even have the airscrew in it and I just got it to fire up in a few kicks and i moved it around to go in the shop when i seen all the gas literally pouring out so i pulled off my gas line off the carb and stopped it...

Idk it just seems like after getting a rebuild kit for it a new idle screw for it etc etc. i'd be better off buying a used carb off of someone ? any opinions?

yea the more parts that you keep losing off of the carb, the harder it's gonna be to start. That is if it will start. And for the overflowing, check the needle valve for trash, if it is still in there.

i have a blaster carb thats corroded pretty bad i'll sell ya for 5 bucks

good used ones are easy to come by and buying one that came off of a runner may be a good idea for ya

the only thing that I know of was that idle screw.. the choke tube came off it too! but thats when my friend was choking it i heard it rev and die and i was like WTF!? i looked over and he was holding the choke in his hand.. lmao.. the bike runs great but the carb is getting on my last nerves

can you send me pics of that carb please? and what's missing etc? how much do you think it will cost to ship?

dealership can get me the screw so I'm good there, one thing i forgot to have my friend ask about was rebuild kits.. how much are they? like $25 right? what all do they include? I know that gasket but Idk if I should spend $30 dollars repairing this one or buy a complete better carb? just looking for opinions on what everyone would do

id go bigger and better, your gonna want it later and why waste the money on a stocker right now and lose money on it later

[beachblaster]

i agree. especially if buying a new carb coincides with what you want to do in the future. not a bad idea. fresh start with a COMPLETE carb.

wouldn't buying a bigger carb be stupid though? or would I be able to use it if I can jet it down the right size?

and I'm looking to go spend a ton on one I just need it to work well so I can let my friend ride the blaster when I'm riding the banshee

[beachblaster]

you can swap jets from old to new. im sure someone on here or ebay is selling a good one. just a quick check on ebay showed 20-60 bucks for a stock used one. better that than 20 30 bucks for a rebuild kit. plus you get spare carb parts. which never hurt
