 My 8 year olds scarry ride. Your thoughts on this. I'll try to keep this short. My son's Blaster had the throttle stick approaching a hill. Fortunately he had the sense to pull in the clutch and hit the kill switch. When i pulled up behind him the engine was still winding about 8000rpm. My first word's to him were SHUT IT DOWN and i saw in his eyes somthing was wrong. I went to the kill switch, it was off. The thing still screaming I did the kill switch again. No such luck so I shut the fuel off and pulled the plug wire because im smarter than this machine. The thing screamed itself out of fuel with the plug wire off. I stood there astonished at what just happened. So can someone help me out with this one please. This is an 02 Blaster with the TORS in place. I thought the TORS would shut the thing down in the event of cable failure. To throw more crap on the fire, After his machine cooled the thing seemed fine. Startd right up and throttle seems to respond fine. Needless to say his day was done and he will not ride it untill i find something wrong. Thank You . Roostertail6               |

 I'd pull the cable and replace it. Forget about lubing it, just replace it. Pull the carb too. Make sure nothing it hanging up on the slide. You could have put it in gear, put the rear brake on and then let the clutch out. |

| If you still have a thumb throttle on there make sure it is free of debris and do like freak said replace the cable and pull the carb for inspection. |

Was your son low on fuel at the time? If so, he may have had the combination of too lean a mixture with the glow plug effect. I know that on my two stroke, if I have the clutch in or its in nuetral when it runs out of gas, it will rev to an insane speed. Like freak said, just put her in a high gear, stomp on the back brake and let out the clutch. Last edited by VAL; 11-18-2008 at 02:28 PM. |

| Thanks for the useful insight peeps. Upon disection this was the find. Fuel was low. Cable has a little grab to it. TORS and Carb switches checked out fine. So I have a cable on order and will clean and blow out carb. This was the first time i ran Castor 927 vs the spectro normally run. The situation made me question the benol at first. |

| I'm just glad to hear no-one got hurt!!  I also agree with the putting it in gear and holding both front and rear brakes! I had to shut down a CR125 like that one time!! Scared the CRAP out of me!! Thought I was going ove the drop-off into the stumps and rocks! Throttle cable was frayed, and it stuck wide open in the powerband!!  |

| The only problem with trying to hold the rear brake and kill it on a blaster is that the rear brake probably won't hold the power of the motor, the rear brakes on those things leave ALOT to be desired!!! I sure am glad no one got hurt and you found the problem though.  |

| My thoughts exactly. I can't trust the rear brake at all. Adjustments made constantly. |

| hmmmm, well, I'm all ears, what would be a better thing to do ?? That is really your only option when I bike is reving uncontrolled. unless you want to wait till it blows up. |
