I grew up in the same boat. Your family looks at you crazy when you suggest fixing your own car yourself.

That's an ignition issue. I've had 5 blasters in my time, that's not a fuel issue. The stock pipe was great, the stock carb was perfect, and they actually ran REALLY well once you deleted the fuel/oil mixer. That one is losing spark under load or the ports are so bad on the cylinder it's cutting out under extreme load. I still say it's coil/wire/plug issue. Those bikes are AMAZING for their size and with a little work they can make really good power. You're making me want another one..

@@Handyman1199 The Blasters engine is literally the staple of slapped together and make it run. The ignition assembly, which you didn't get to see much of the electronics, you can see the stators on the table @13:31. Most likely there's a problem with those coming in contact with metal, the pickup being bad, or even the CDI being bad. The crank bearings? Well they'll fail before those stators will lose enough ability to bring a charge to the CDI where it won't fire. Remember, those little 200's only have a somewhere in the 6:1 compression ratio, a very small chamber and it doesn't take much to fire. I've seen them run on 24:1 shit fuel and 50:1 race mix. The 200 Blaster is probably one of the simplest engines out there and they'll run with just about anything wrong aside from major failures. If it was my bike, I'd flop the CDI first, then the pickup, and then the stator assembly. I've NEVER seen a stator assembly die/fail but the possibility is there.

You should really do these smaller type engine rebuilds! super fun to watch. keep up the great work man.

Definitely go through the ignition system. Timing is everything on a 2-stroke, plus any Chinese parts probably won't give a decent spark. Failing that, double check for air leaks and reed valve sealing (fiber reeds are good with an after-market exhaust)

Seeing your troubleshooting process, even without regard to the specific engine/vehicle (though that's awesome in its own way for anyone who has the same issue) is invaluable because the viewer learns how to attack a problem and solve it systematically. It's so easy to get overwhelmed and say "f**k it!! - these videos help cut through that noise and static of frustration. Much appreciated, SPC Brown!

Good to hear that the Bonneville is getting the business, its going to be awesome. Also this small engine content is always a great change of pace. I always wanted a Banshee, Raptor, or a Blaster unfortunately it just wasn't in the cards.

I liked your revival, it shows you what can be done with just a few tools. Also, your experience pays off as well. Hey, it's wheels, you can't beat that.

I respect the right to privacy and would never come to your shop but do you and Mook ever do any local meet and greets like octemberfest...big fan of your content and have fun watching older videos as we all wait for your new content. Keep it up Kevin you have made it entertaining and very informative. Ty

One thing I suggest is you get one of the cheap central pneumatic air chisels from harbor freight for when you're using a Shake N Break, the knob on the bottom for adjusting the power of the chisel is usually pretty annoying, but for a Shake N Break it's really nice for being able to set your max power and go. The air chisels that have the variable trigger (at least in my opinion) aren't as good for it.

I love the variety of content.. do more small engines please.. You are always great to watch.

Another great video. The sound of a 2-stroke reminds me of a 1975 Kawasaki 400 two- stroke triple that I used to own equipped with chambers. From idle up to around 2500rpm it was sort of doggie. Then between 2500rpm and 3500rpm it would kinda wake up. From 3500rpm to the red line that bike turned into a rocket. What I really remember was the change in the exhaust tone as it went up the rpm range. It went from popping corn to an angry shriek. A well tuned 2-stroke with an expansion chamber is music to my ears.🏍

Blaster top-end ting could be a whole new percussive element in a sample kit for budding producers

I had one as a kid. Blew it up and learned how to rebuild it myself. Good times 🍻

Back in the 1980s I used to work as a motorcycle electrician and if I remember correctly, those bikes have a CDI ignition system with a separate high voltage ignition winding in the alternator that charges a capacitor, that's then discharged into the ignition coil. Quite often ignition problems like those your having are caused by a bad alternator stator winding where the insulation is starting to break down at high rpm. However as you say the ignition coil has been replaced with some sort of after market part, I would try changing that first as if it's not the correct type meant for a CDI system, that would also cause problems. Also the ignition coil is a lot easier and cheaper to swap out than the stator winding. Good luck with fixing it as it looks like a fun bike.

Big bore kit, bigger carb jetted amazingly, full exhaust kit, full race plastics, etc. if there was a performance part made for a blaster, this thing had it. Ran amazing too, my 230lbs fatass could pin it while cruising in 4th gear and it would pull the front wheels up. I raced a friend who had a new Raptor 700 and we were neck and neck. Good times, good times.

Also, speaking as an ex-Yamaha service manager, you might have figured out on Blasters, be VERY VERY carefull putting the screw-on top of the carb. They're easy to crossthread, then leak air afterwards. That alone is the main reason I had to rebuild blown up Blasters back in the day. Sucks raw air and melts the piston. Second only to the guys that would jet spray the engine and blow the base gasket into the crankcase. Oh, and if you ever decide to build it right, don't go with Wiseco. Get a factory Yamaha cast piston and rings. On those engines, the stock 'junk' just flat out works better.

Back in the "day" I used to be able to buy a wiseco piston, ring set, and rod for 100-150 bucks. I was buying blown up blasters out of the newspaper for under 500 bucks. Rebuild them, clean em up, and flip them for 1000-1200. I also did other 4 wheelers that usually needed minor repairs. I did this until I had enough cash to go buy a brand new 400EX in 2001.

Looks like I’m not sleeping for 40 minutes

I think you should check the crank seals.

yalls kitchen with all the oak is absolutely adorable!

Worked at the local Honda dealer right after graduating high school. Had a lot of two strokes come in that had been brought in that had been pretty butchered by people who thought they knew what they were doing. On several occasions the bike or wheelers had been gotten to run after several years of sitting somewhere. 9 times out of 10 the seals in the crankcase had dried up and crumbled leading to a vacuum leak at the crank seal. Usually not a big deal at lower rpm but when the engine gets up on the pipe that lean condition burns the top out of the piston. If the piston top isn’t burned out first the rings are the other culprit for a top end coming apart. The extreme heat from running lean kills ring tension as well as the lean condition causing scoring in the cylinder from lack of lubrication ( lean condition on two strokes also means less oil mix from the fuel to lubricate everything ). Another common problem was with ignition, people would grab any plug that would thread in the head without hitting the dome of the piston. Commonly they had grabbed an automotive plug for a newer vehicle which are resistor type spark plugs so that they don’t cause interference with cars computer systems or static in the radio, great for a car but not a high rpm bike engine. Get yourself a good plug boot and correct spark plug to begin with. Check the air gap between your flywheel and the stator as well, also another source of weak ignition. You’re absolutely right about the junk Chinese coils as well. After that, start checking grounding and continuity in the wiring. Probably not much help to you here Kevin but maybe it was worth it to give you an idea of another place to look for the problem. Good luck with it and great video again, glad to see it.

Proper coil, new plug and plug wire will most likely fix it.

Another great video, would love to see you explain the carbs. You are great at explaining that kind of stuff in detail and making it understandable.

That 80 you were talking about probably has a wiseco pro-lite piston in it. Those pistons get hot fast, faster than the cylinder sleeve so if you dont let it warm up for a while it expands and locks itself up in the sleeve. Thats what it sounds like to me is your problem. People that dont know much about them usually buy them not knowing its a process to get it to work right and then wonder why it locks up so much. I rode 2 strokes for a while and i stayed away from the pro-lite, i got the wiseco woodsport or something. Its a little heavier to keep momentum for low end grunt.

Good job, and cool of you to offer it back to the guy. Really interested in seeing how to do small engine tuning done properly. I can usually get there in the end, but I'm moslt guessing!

You saying you didn't want to seal the crankcase up & then find you left something out reminded me of my time working on motorcycles, and how shortly after I was hired another mechanic had a Honda 1-lunger completely apart when he quit and a different guy reassembled it...except for a thrust washer on the countershaft he found when he picked up his tools. Oh, the language!🤣 I had already developed a habit from working on my own stuff that EVERY part from inside the case was placed in order of disassembly into one of my 'egg boxes' -(a 'tool' I'd bought to do my own stuff - stacking numbered divided compartment trays in box metal boxes with latching tops) and as parts were later inspected after cleaning or replaced, they went back into the same place in the 'egg box' - and sequentially re-installed during the rebuild, so I only had to go pocket by pocket during reassembly, any part that did not fit in the pockets would be tagged with a numbered plastic tag (I got the tags and tabs at an office supply before I bought the 'egg box') and placed in the bottom drawer of the box, and the like-numbered plastic tab put in the pocket where it went in the sequence. As 'drawer parts' got installed I would pull the tab from the pocket, put with tag from part, and put both back in the long end pocket of lowest tray in order ready for next use. I could put masking tape on the trays to identify outside of case parts -vs- inside of case parts, so could tell at a glance at the 'inside case' tray and be certain I would not wind up like that guy struggling to invent new curse words for having to tear one partially or completely down and put an errant piece in - basically for free- as most shops paid a flat rate, and the more I produced with no re-do's the more I earned. Last place I was at was in 1971 I think, and only building the 750 K-3's as I had zero redo's except occasional part failures -(the shop 'ate' those). I WOULD do a single or twin if a guy was buried or having a bad day, and sign it off to them so they got paid for it, but a redo would have been mine. The guy freaking out that day made a DEEP impression, but having to often wait a week or more to get time to get back to a project of mine, (even though my memory is very good) let me rest easy about stopping and resuming right where I had left off, ALL of it learned from an older automotive machinist friend that had once even been a Cord automobile factory/dealer mechanic that helped me do my first couple of case splits, which prior had kept me from repairing those project bikes.👍🇺🇸😎

Finally, a new video 😂 I've been waiting just for a new video because I already watch old content of yours on repeat🤣

Pro tip, Kevin: Old school desert racers know that if you have long sections of wide open throttle on your two stroke, what you can do is hit the kill switch for two to three seconds - while holding the throttle wide open - to cool the cylinder and prevent a hot seize. Do that about every 20 seconds or so and your cylinder/piston should remain happy. Also, two strokes aren't nearly as finicky as what you believe if you're using quality parts. NGK spark plugs are super reliable. Happy riding!

The mention of the oil you put in the gearbox reminded me of a mistake I made back in the 80's with one of my first motorcycles. Seemed a new product called "Slik 50" was out, and the guy at the parts shop said "Oh yeah, this is great stuff, put it in your motorcycle" I was young and dumb, and within a few hours of use, that wet clutch was slipping like a dying automatic trans. I ended up having to pull the side cover and slosh all the clutch bitsa in gasoline to get the PTFE and whatever other stuff off them. Refilled with some straight grade Kendall, and it was (almost) back to normal. Lesson learned.

if a 2-stroke has fast speed problems, turn the high mix up until it intermittently 4-strokes. The richer mix and extra stroke will help lube the cylinder and cool the combustion chamber.

Helo Kevin if you have some old ignition parts available start with the coil. You repeatedly started the engine and it felt better until things warmed up a little. A classic symptom of a coil getting tired and breaking down.

Ok, you had literally a blown up hunk of metal that now runs for a half a tank of gas. Now you’re down to replacing coil/wire and plug! I’d say not a failure, but a another man’s memory brought to life. Good on ya!!

Ive got that same top end kit in my blaster. The main failure is the wrist pin needle bearing. If you can get a oem/high end bearing they run good. Mines on 30+ hours already and it was rebuilt 3 weeks ago. I beat the piss out of it. Run it richer then you would a oem cylinder. Plugs are cheaper then pistons. Needle positon at 3. 1-2 turns air mixtures. 40:1
