New used blaster having some issues

[xzibit a]

Hey guys i just picked up a 99 blaster, its completely stock other, than a banshee rear and a vitos 240 kit with the hemi head, im not sure if it has a jet kit in it but the needle is blue, the problem is it wont start, after messing with it i loosened the header(stock) and then it started right up but there is no throttle response, so im assuming i need a new exhuast, is there anything else i should buy, and are there any reccomendations for a complete exhuast and jets .

also i need to replace the clutch and brake levers and cables, and plastics, any one know a good place to get them. ive seen a few with hydrualic brakes( id like to know more)

and finally this is going to be for my wife to ride

if you loosened the exhaust and it started then you probably need reeds because when one of my reeds snapped off and went into the cylinder it would start without the pipe connected and if one of your reeds did snap off pull the top end off the jug and look if the reed is in your cylinder...

well the top end was put on and it ran for about 15 minutes before fouling the pulg, plug was replaced ran for another 15 min, then i bought it, are the reeds in the intake side or exhuast side of the jug

well ends up something went through the motor, could have been the missing reed, or something could have broke the reed on the way in the motor, regaurless im now sending the whole top end, thats wasted to the machine shop to get bored and a new piston, and im going to get some boysen reeds.

Do you mean something whent though the cases, Am I also to understand the whole top end was wasted. I think you have more probs than a cracked reed. IT SOUNDS LIKE WHOEVER PUT THE TOPEND TOGETHER LEFT AN AIR LEAK. Be careful when you put it back together.

Now for recomendations your wifes bike I would get a set TDR reeds. they cost a bit more but they will be the last petles you'll need. FULL EXAUST-I would get a CPI big bore inframe. they cost $310 and the big bore will love you for it. Pick up a used 250r carb for cheap. Then let her blast away on the blasty. Oh any maybe a hydro rear brake convertion. If it was for you say to hell with it, but Hey I got a wife too and she need all the safty she can get.

well everything was tight and the gaskets were fine, im pretty sure it was the broken reed that went in the cylinder, i took the rest of them off and they are quite hard, i think they might be carbon fiber or something, everything on the bike is stock (exhuast, carb), and by 250r, you mean what, cr250 r?

[HardIzzle]

no i think he means trx 250r the quad
