Grease in between air filter and air box!

Please remove that ugly red spray paint on the bike all of it just looks 🤢

Would u by anychance want to sell your 400ex

[@jaycarter849]

I looking to buy a few of your ATV's

[@STGkilla4]

Take off the airbox cover it opens it up more how mine is

[@Amac1825]

Grew up with a blaster. Made me a better rider. Had to learn to ride better to keep up with friends on 450s

[@kaydenoickle82]

I currently own a 2000 Blaster and I have lots of fun riding it, they’re definitely worth fixing up

Best ATV channel on the web. You are the guy we all are. Thank you

[@toddnewton3633]

Well done! We have enjoyed watching you bring this back to life-a buddy gave me a Chinese UTV that was I similar condition after sitting behind his shop for several years-my daughters and I had a great project getting it going again and we get a ton of enjoyment out of it-your videos are great and helpful-pleas keep up the great work

[@jackpelliccia6294]

Wow joe you did a great 👍 job putting her back together

[@billysantiesteban4199]

Idle should never be adjusted with throttle cable. Proper adjustment is done on TORS unit mounted on top of carburetor

[@wisecampmotorcycles8258]

Should never use them Multi Grips all the time either, use a spanner.

yeah right? thats a good way to make your throttle stick. kids a clown

Good little Blaster rescue Joe. I love rescuing them as well.

[@cflip7452]

I think the Blaster was the most under rated Quads. Just the right size to have a Blast on Hence the name “Blaster”

[@tachankafreeman3442]

I was about to sell mine but after seeing this comment im gonna keep it thank god I saw this

[@cjleh757src6]

@@tachankafreeman3442 I’ve owned 5 and I just got another one for 500 bucks running! Couldn’t resist it with the bike market these days, I’ve decided I’m keeping this one I got it for a good price

[@07scoobywrx]

Very affordable and very fun

[@Davido50]

Yes a very cool quad always! Wish I had a really mint example.

[@cflip7452]

For the $! Hard to beat

[@brandynwitham1282]

So one thing you gotta do when putting a new chain on is loosen in the chain tensioner thing all the way and then take a few links off the chain. Then when lithe chain stretches you have room to tighten it. You did a good job bringing it from the died though.

[@dan2397102]

makes me miss having a blaster. such a fun little machine

[@danlunn7868]

You should paint the muffler black too

[@anonimozzz8998]

Change the exhaust

[@codyhoffman5561]

He literally said he was gonna paint that black

[@btfp9422]

Throw a fmf on there

[@donnnnnnn]

@@btfp9422 fmf doesn’t look good on everything 😂

[@davidthorburn9327]

@@donnnnnnn yes it does. it makes everything sound good to!! have you used fmf before

[@downtoearthconstruction]

Idles not bad, maybe a step down on the pilot jet. After you hit the throttle it should die back down to idle rather quickly. Seems slightly rich, but id rather be rich than lean. Cool scoot my man you revived her! Iam sure a little more messing around will tie up loose ends, they all have their quirks dont get discouraged.

[@unchained20000000]

It's far from perfect, it's perfect from afar, but it's perfectly perfect enough for me.

[@morrow49]

Love this! And I love my blaster, I have extended a arms and a longer swingarm on it with pro circuit exhaust

[@TaNgLeD2121]

Those lil blasters were great!! They pulled hard for lil machines

[@lengaming1651]

Did you line up the counterbalance gear properly? A misaligned counterbalance shaft would definitely make everything vibrate loose

[@bryceswan7936]

You should put a aftermarket pipe and silencer on it bet it would make a big difference

[@m8fusion712]

I like blaster's mine was a 2000, awesome video man

[@lifeinaday89]

Perfect amount of drift lube on the ground

[@markflint8202]

Hard work pays off m8 you done well 👍👍💯💯 hello from hartlepool in the uk

[@javieravila8046]

You should get a Honda 300 most of us grew up in those and I just would love to see some one build up one of those old quads and get them running and back riding

[@RAYtheram]

Us bogans here in Australia call rain "drift lube" literally makes out under powered Holden commodores act like a blown ls! Never drifted a quad on we grass though. I'm guessing just as fun as the 1998 vt commodore lol

[@FadedbyJay]

Why did you cut the cable? Just unscrew it to begin with lol

[@donnyfrick2203]

Good job on getting it warmed up first

[@logansmith105]

An old friend of mine had an older version blaster clutch used to slip but I guess it had some aftermarket things done to it but let me tell you what I had a blast on it and that thing would never die no matter what it was his was red and white with a dg pipe good memories good times

[@wesleyoos71]

Great job. Can't imagine it running any better when it was new

[@Jim-rf6kl]

Looks like you still need the oil cap for the tank?

[@tylerwhittaker4853]

That left front fender is bugging me is it broke looking like its hanging down some

[@matthewcason5962]

Dude u had a blaster it had a sick fmf exhuast on it and it sounded so good like it sounded kinda like a banshee in a way like it was so sick

[@loganboyer8816]

Joe I don't think I've ever seen you sand anything before painting it lol

[@Bossdon508]

Any tips on the chain from stop getting looser an looser?

[@nicholascaudill6185]

Blue lock tight!

[@thomas3360]

was that wd40 that you used to make the plastics look so good???

[@carbide1968]

Bought my blaster brand new in 1988. It was white with red plastics. Only thing that ever broke in 5 years was a star gear or whatever they call it. Wouldn't shift into second. Was that the parking brake you cut off?

[@Pyrite-nn5iz]

Are you going to take the paint off the plastic

[@joneber7504]

Purple and yellow

[@paulamaral8029]

@@joneber7504 that’s gotta be 1995 blaster I’ve been telling Joe since the first video 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@clintvb8471]

Are those airfilters better than foam filters?

[@mattgehrke]

Nice job on the blaster. U should get a 1987 Yamaha Tw200 for your next project. I don't believe u have had one of those on your channel yet

[@bryankerr69]

You should try Green Slime on all your ATV/ATC tires. You can buy it by the gallon.

[@keithfenwick5502]

Another excellent job done 👍🙏

[@jordandarcy3329]

That blaster sounds horrible with that stock exhaust 😂🤣 but runs alright. But wouldn’t expect you to change. the exhaust if your just going to be selling it soon. Personally id keep it I’ve always wanted a blaster. Wish I could find a junkyard blaster for cheap. For a fixer upper 🤟

[@lanceromance5768]

Why would you want a blaster. Get a banshee

[@jordandarcy3329]

@@lanceromance5768 I’ve had threes in the past and. only have one as of now There fun but I’m getting bored of the same quad. I want to add a blaster to the list with my warrior and banshee.and and more 👍

[@corporalclegg914]

I was surprised after going to a schoolmate’s house in 1990, to see a brand new blaster in his garage. I’d never ridden a 2-Stroke Quad before, so it blew my mind. Blasters are perfect for youngsters with intermediate riding skills, to advance IMO. I love them & they still get me excited.

[@mikestowe6136]

does look pretty good for cheap beatter

[@Imjustgaming1000]

U should get a graphic kit for it🔥🔥🔥

[@thetwostrokerebuilder]

Nice job👍 you're missing chain guide I'd definitely recommend one on that. Don't want chain coming off

[@willandroxy100]

lets go another vid

[@deebosgaming]

I remember last year when I was trying to get my first blaster but the guy kept saying come this day and this day till the came and I messaged him but never answered, not even couple weeks later I saw a 06 Honda Trx450er for sale has a 480 kit and test drove has ton of power and I liked it so I bought it

[@gryder1352]

Why did you not adjust the idol at the carb ?

[@BEERU5]

Hey man I'm pretty sure if you premix the gas then you need to up the main jet size which is why she's running a little lean I think 🤔

[@aarongrabowski3775]

You need to buy impact drivers for screws.

[@colestella7856]

What kind oil you use to mix the gas

I have a blaster to and love it ! I rode a 250 trx but i think the blaster is better

[@ni_wink84]

Is the kick start skipping or is it just the camera?

[@mmaaddict78]

Does it sound like that because the packing in the silencer is beat or what?

Yeah I think so

If those are 9inch back rims, I could sure use your old tires if u get new ones ..lol

Do you have any formal training in small engines motorcycles ATVs lawnmowers or is this something you’ve learned on your own,

Not necessary.

you dont adjust idle at the handle bars

Sounds fat. Ditch that style air filter for a foam one . Those restricted it just a bit
