trickedcarbine Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 ok. Just finished my banshee build. Jetted my 34 pj's with 60 pilot,155 main and needle in stock kehin position. the choke/idle adjust is out at 7 1/2 turns and it idled real pretty and the plugs were so perfect. Looked like they were dipped in hershey's syrup. So I ran this thing up and down our dirt roads and through the s-turns and it ran strong and idled great. I go out to the trails for the first time and never really lay in to it hard and kept touching the head to see if she was gettin' hot. No problems at all, then I roll up to the monster hill climb and pull through the gears and get to the top and pull the clutch and it instantly wants to die. I chop the throttle to keep it goin' thinking that maybe my new motor is capable of suckin the bowls dry on a climb. I wait a few secs and It still wont idle. runs under throttle but not great sounds like fouled plugs do so I go check them and theyre still choco brown. I check the compression and the right was 182 and the left was 178. I crank her up again and notice that the left is smoking way more then the right and so I decide to limp it home but by the time I get to my road this thing needs so much throttle at idle to stay running and there is a cloud the size of a house behind me , but now it's coming out of both cylinders. Not sure where to start just wanna know a few ideas as to what could be a problem so that I can start trouble shooting with out wasting to much time looking for something I'm not sure of. crank seals? rings? water pump issues(leaking)? O-rings in head? any suggestions would be sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hopefully this was after you broke it in? Did you retork head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 dipped in heshey syrup sounds pretty rich to me. do a leak down test and see what you find. check to make sure your reeds arn't broke. Did you have the timing plate off? if so.. dbl check your pick up coil gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 hershey syrup sounds pretty bad now that I think of it, sorry for the bad annolagy, just meant it looked like chocolate brown. jetting is nice though. I'll check the timing pick up and pray that it works because the oil isn't milky so I don't think its burnin' coolant. And yes to the break in question as well as the retorque on the head and since it's a cool head I had my local shop tell me to tighten it more then the stock head specs in my clymer thanks for the support HQ especially the local michigan boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
