mudkickin4x4 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I have a 2000 banshee, about 2 years ago something went wrong with the igintion, so i took it too a few local shops when it quit and they couldnt figure it out, about a month ago me and my buddy pulled it out to his shop and found the stator was bad so i replaced it and it gets great spark now, Now i have cleaned the carbs twice (how many jets are there?), i have checked the timing and its perfect, i have changed the plugs twice and still no start. It puffs smoke all day long and sometimes it tries to start, and im out of ideas? Anybody? how can i tell if its getting enough fuel?

sinisterboo Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I have found that the small little passage that runs at an angle from the bowl to the throat of the carb (idle/slow-jet?) gets plugged up and makes em a MF to start. This is assuming you have stock carbs. Get a torch tip cleaner thingie, has several different size pieces of wire on it. They work good for unglogging them. Any parts store should have one... Hope this helps a little.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps a little.. When u say its hard to start? does this mean it will sometimes? It had been like this for like 2 weeks and ive gone though 3 cans of starter fluid, could it still be the little passage.....and also im not a huge expert on banshee how do i know if i have stock carbs (not tors if that matters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinisterboo Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) If it starts only when you shoot ether in it, then your carbs are definately plugged up. Hopefully someone on here can post a pic of the hole in the carb im talking about. You should never have to shoot a shee too start it up. Good way to end your banshee experience for sure, or make you smarter when you have to learn the hard way how to rebuild it! Maybe you can take a pic of your carb so we can identify it??

badjetman23 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 could very well be an air leak and its not transfuring the fuel check your reeds for broken or chipped ones do a compression test and do a leakdown test to check for air leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowit Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Very worth while to remove the flywheel and make sure the key has not sheared. It will spark all day long but never run if the timing is a mile off from a sheared key. We see it a lot after a fresh stator change.
