Gage Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 my banshees a pain to start when its cold it takes literally 30 minutes of kicking and about 5 tries of jump starting (pushing down hill and bumping into gear) for it to start, but when its running and i shut it off it turns on first kick no problems, i have stock exhaust, but i d have a white brothers boost bottle, dual k&n's with outerwears, and its .40 over i just replaced the top end and it has 5 hours on it, why's it so hard to start? should i replace the plugs, check the reeds, or what? it seems to have tons of compression.

Rodneya Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Is the choke tube in between the carbs, and are the float bowls on the correct carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Sounds like your jetting is off. Did you re jet after changing the intake? Anytime you change the air flow through engine you have to check the jetting. This includes changes in the intake, flow through the cylinders (porting) and changes in exhaust. More air flow requires more fuel. Not enough fuel means not enough lubrication and will lead to more problems then just hard starting.
