hi i have a 96 wave blaster last year my son was riding it and it stalled out and i could not get it started . i noticed that the gas level in the filter was low so thinking that the filter was clogged but when ni sucked on the hose i got a mouth full of gas . it starts with starting fluid but it just dies when it's burned . do i need a carb rebuild? gasket kit or the whole thing thanks jim

no start

sounds like your fuel pump ain't pumping,check vacuum line to carb from intake,don't use starting fluid,use fogging oil or prime with fuel ,use common sense when doin this,your diaphram may be pouras

is the pump part of the carb or external can i just buy the pump or do i need a whole rebuild kit thanks jim

yes but you'll need #2,each carb has a cell fuel pump,i'd take it apart 1st and clean it ,check the micro filter in fuel body,has 2 brass hose fittings next to each other (fuel cell),fuel rblt kit around 20,whole carb, around 60,check your vac lines.good luck
