Hello, My sons was washing his blaster and got water into the air box. It would run a little and shut off, run a little and shut off and know it won't start at all. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

well first thing to do is remove the carburetor and clean out the carburetor, make sure the air filter and air filter box are free of any water.
reinstall the carburetor once you have it dried out. then try to start it.
if it still wont start, using a compression guage test the compression on the cylinder.
it is a 2 cycle engine and it doesn't take much water getting into the cylinder to damage the piston or rings.
