Beachcruiser Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I've been searching the forum but havent had any luck with my problem. When I first fire up the banshee both cylinders fire equally and it runs good. I usually let it warm up for about 5 minutes before I ride it. Soon after I make a few passes down a 200 yard road after it warms up, the right cylinder stops firing at idle and with a little gas. Once it gets on the pipe both cylinders fire correctly and rides normal. After I park it and let it cool down, then fire it up both cylinders fire correctly. What could be the problem? It has something to do with the temp. What do you bansheeHQers think??? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcruiser Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Does anyone have an idea what it could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee4speed Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Have you taken the carbs apart and cleaned the jets out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 when was the last time you put new plugs in? And deff pull the carbs apart and clean them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Reynolds Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Sounds to me like the carbs are dirty I would take them off and completely clean them out. Take out everything,the mains,pilots,choke,air screws ect. Use carb cleaner and compressed air. Sounds to me like one of your pilots has something stuck in it.

Beachcruiser Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Carbs have been cleaned throughout and plugs have been changed numerous times. Still cutting out when the shee warms up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 What is your jetting? and with the K&N are you running the lid or without the lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I was just having the same problem after getting new carbs, plugs, etc. and I found from reading other posts to check the wiring and fuel line. After verifying it wasn't the plug or the wiring I checked the "T" split fuel line to the carbs and it was higher on the right side with nothing moving through. After making them symetrical/level the right side immediately fired up and ran well. I'm letting it cool down and will run it later tonight to make sure it wasn't a coincidence. GL!

Beachcruiser Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 If I remember correctly I think they are 340 mains, middle clip and unsure of the pilots. The airbox lid is on, I've removed the lid but it seems like it losses power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) If I remember correctly I think they are 340 mains, middle clip and unsure of the pilots. The airbox lid is on, I've removed the lid but it seems like it losses power. Umm do you have porting done to your jugs? because holy hell if you dont..i have a dune port and run 320's in the summer. And that is with the lid on or do you mean 240's? and if you just have the lid off it wll lean it up so it will be lose of power...if your going to keep the lid off you need to rejet... I would start around 290 and work down. Edited June 18, 2009 by GrMeyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have been having the same trouble with mine. I found that my carb slides were swapped from left to right and that my throttle cable did not have enough free play(this is what made it try to idle cold). Make sure the dimple for carb sync window lines up with the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
