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

[@phorkit5717]

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..

[@ni_wink84]

Crank seals, had metal in it, seals are first thing to get damaged I’d be willing to bet money on it

[@Handyman1199]

could it be that the loose crank bearings (we saw the play when he reassembled the engine) mess with the spark timing? given enough play in the bearings id bet the timing would be all over. if it was a points system it would probs dont even spark at all, had that with a 78 Suzuki GT50...

[@phorkit5717]

@@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.

[@JunkyardDigs]

I was suspect of CDI or trigger coil as well

[@phorkit5717]

@@JunkyardDigs Most likely it's the CDI, probably got wet sometime and they weren't known for being well sealed. Eventually corroded and this is what you're left with. If you want to preserve it a bit, buy yourself a thick balloon and use that as a cover, that's what we used to do with them when we'd be out in the wet and snow.

[@mrclucker1969]

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)

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.

[@Kilo_kyle]

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

[@donmears4090]

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.🏍

[@lewismocaby3646]

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.

[@donbehatin]

i really liked the 2 stroke street bike you did and the snowmobile stuff so if you randomly inject videos like this into your schedule i'll probably watch them. this market isn't anywhere near as saturated as the car revivals and a lot more achievable at home by the diy guy from a financial standpoint. i'm also really enjoying your (from a long time viewer) newfound appreciation for old gm land barges. edit: can't spell

[@keithrushforth4019]

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.

[@R3TR0R4V3]

Spot on, except there's no alternator. The CDI box could be sus though, no doubt. Should be plenty of aftermarket replacements. :)

Oh god... The Right Stuff on the case halves!!!! Getting that thing back apart to fix that sloppy clutch is going to be FUN!!!. Really need a tube of Yamabond5 for those cases (and you'll fall in love with it for car stuff too). Along with Yamabond4 for the 'normal' stuff. 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.

@@JunkyardDigs The electrical switch on the carb is safety shit (that will get on your nerves). It had nothing to do with your ignition timing. It will kill your spark if the safety crap thinks your thumb throttle is closed and the carb is open. The logic is to kill the ignition if you let off the gas and the carb hangs open. You know because a 2stroke makes sooooo much torque and you'll hit a tree at 200MPH, AND we're all too stupid to just pull in the clutch and hit the kill switch. :D Feel free to jump out all the switches of safety to avoid troubleshooting drama in the future.

[@danehendrickson457]

Rule of thumb on a two stroke, if more than two turns out from a light seat on the air screw, the pilot jet is too rich…also run the risk of the air screw falling out 😅. Less that one turn out from light seat, Pilot is too lean. Four strokes are backwards since you adjust fuel delivery and not air Lower or raise the needle clip one notch to clean up the center range

[@steelcity3534]

Kevin, did I miss something or @36:43 when you put the seat back on after cleaning the filter, you forgot to put the filter back on?

[@corikingery88]

That little device on top of the carb is called a TORS (throttle over ride system) it controls your throttle separately of your cable from the thumb throttle. Disconnect it, or delete it all together. When it finds throttle signal at wide open for a certain time, it drops power down by lowering throttle. That's why it feels boggy on top

It's already disconnected, but it wouldn't hurt to get that carb cap/cable kit to eliminate the box altogether.

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.👍🇺🇸😎

that engine cylinder is 80% cooling fin and 20% actually combustion chamber

I love small two stroke engines being sorted, takes me back to my teens in the 80s, I wish this stuff survived in Scotland but unfortunately it just rots. I’ve owned a Honda 400/4f for well over 30 years, it’s a 1976 and I procrastinated for too long and now I’m sitting with a sad bike and probably over £100 of parts but due to heart failure and surgery I’m struggling to get back into it ✌️

Toss on a clean air filter. I have a Honda 350 that did the same under load. I spent hours testing and adjusting without an air filter. Slapped on a new one, and it was like a miracle.

[@jballew2239]

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.

A buddy of mine picked up a pretty good shape red/white blaster for cheap because it had no compression. We pulled it apart and the piston was trash but the cylinder was decent. He put a new wiesco piston in it, got it all together and had it running great. We finished the break in for it and left it sit for the night. Next day he warmed it up and took it for a couple laps around the property. About 5 minutes later, dead again, no compression. We pulled it back apart and found that the rings had spun on the piston and sheered the pins out of the ring lands, which then got stuck between the piston and the cylinder and scored both of them to hell.

I'd say check all of your grounds on the electrical system, then check the coil and plug wire.

There's your problem lady 😂😂 the air filter looks like a chocolate Cake 🎂 lmfao 😂 36:29 @Junkyard Digs

[@ratedredneck96]

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.

Just did a similar thing with an 86’ Honda ATV after sitting for a decade. Great video man!

[@daltonfrith7685]

A little info about the blaster, i have had a couple and cant leave any atv stock. There is an 11:1 piston for them made by namura that is relatively cheap for a name brand piston and makes them pretty fun. Add in a set of boysen reeds and a full fmf fatty pipe and there are a great little atv with a surprising amount of powet.

[@johnhicks735]

That tool that you used on the blaster Suzuki engine. It is called A driver punch that's spring loaded. for damping and lighting the impact at full force contact on the shafts like those for your clutch shaft.
