So I forgot to turn the petcock on and she ran dry. I turned the petcock on and I got a loud backfire. She would not start. I scratched my head. I checked spark I had it. The plug was a black color so I am running rich. The spark was blue and nice. She has seemed sluggish of late. I adjusted the timing. I used the sound method. Listen until it sounds right. Still no go. I figured the float stuck open because I smelt fuel. I pulled the air box and out fell the carb. The backfire had popped the carb out of das-boot. She runs good again.

I did that... about the 2nd day I owned the Blast.

After 30 minutes or so of troubleshooting, I figured it out.
