2005 banshee Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 After sitting for five months, my banshee will not start. I drained the old gas and put new in, also put new plugs in. The bike ran great before i stopped riding it, so i'm thinking the old gas and oil is causing the problem. If anyone has a sugestion i'm all ears. Thanks JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast500#12 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 pull your carbs and clean the up real good. then make sure that all the grounds are clean and free of rust. mine wouldn't fire after winter a few years back because the grounds had rusted up on me.

akita8 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Pull your air filter off and squirt some 2 stroke fuel into the carbs. If it try's to start pull your carbs and clean them out (especially the pilot jets). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast500#12 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 where the coil bolts to the frame. there is a ground on the back where the voltage regulaor monuts, and there is one on the back of the timing plate (gotta pull the fly wheel and tining plate) and while you are the make sure the pick up coil is clean. you know electrical grounds. but before you do all that pull a plug and make sure you have spark by holding the plug eletrode to the head and kicking it over or having someone kick it over while you hold and watch. if you have spark it is most likely a carb problem.
