reborn blata rep
Hey Guyz,
Its been a while I no!
But with a crazy wife who takes me for just a big kid fiddling around with my blata rep and three young kids all under the age of 9 years you could say Ive definately got my hands full.
Despite all that crazyness I finally managed to get my blata rep back together after doing a bearings and seals change.
Thanks to Glen and all the top guyz of this forum I got though it cheerz couldnt have done it without you.
All the advise was spot on!
Especially loved baking the cases worked a treat in regards to the bearing change,Used all geniune Jap bearings the seals thanks to the sponsers are genuine blata (european made) which gave me no dramas at all didnt have to freeze them,just pushed them in and lightly tapped them with a rubber mallet.All good.
Went together smoothly gained alot of knowledge doing the job myself also got a fair idea on how the motor works now and got a very good clean out.
Started it up today idled for about 10 mins felt very smooth alot smoother than before and not as noisy as before!
Just more stable generaly,The major thing that did stand out is how more smoothly the clutch engages now due to the fact that I also replaced the bell housing bearing as well with a jap.
Definately recommend this upgrade.The full metal impeller kit thanks to pocketbikeparts is a great upgrade no need to worry about the impellor spinning on the shaft anymore!Even the geniune european made blata ones come with plastic head go figure?
Once I was happy with it idling we went down to the track two blata reps and a cag,Spattered a bit first got the cobwebs out then stablised and took off got to the first straight opened it up then all of sudden just died.
Not your normal break down this thing just shut down in one hit like pushing the cut off switch!
So checked the fuel lines seems to be getting fuel to the carby although i changed the fuel tank and silly me didnt check if it was absolutely clean...
Plenty of spark but did notice after checking the spark plug a few times that it wasnt even getting wet with fuel starvation of fuel maybe?
Blocked jet dirty carby?
Whats your thoughts love to hear them...
Great to be back your advise would be much appreciated...
Cheerz Tez...
