locogato11283 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hey im new here (just signed up tonight) and this post is probably in the wrong place but here goes. btw my name is cameron I am going to pick up my first banshee on tuesday. I have always rode a 91' cr250 (had for about 3 years) and I figured that it was time for somethin new. Found a 97 banshee on craigslist that this guy wanted to get rid of so I decided to see if he wanted to trade. Only one catch: his bike wont start. So I looked at the bike today (get pics up soon) and it looks in fairly good shape. He is only able to start it by pouring gas in the back of the carb. He said that he would throw in an extra set of carbs with the quad and a clymer repair manual. I really want to keep this quad on the cheap side so were should I start to get this quad running? (guy said that its not the stock carbs. quad has been bored .70 over and is on a completely fresh top end) Like I said im picking it up on tuesday and will try to get more posted. if itll run by pouring gas in the carbs then the carbs are plugged up. pull the carbs off and take off the bowls on the bottom. clean them out well. take the pilots and mains out and make sure they are not plugged. also, make sure the carb itself is getting gas from the tank. welcome to HQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zr2highrider Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 So i picked up my banshee tonight. I dont know what this guy was thinking...a 97 banshee for a 91 cr250 that all beat up. So i got it home and started to play with it. Kicks over great and has pretty good compression. It has a big blue spark and the plugs look new. Tried to start it with no progress but i did notice that gas was comming out the bottom of the bowls. (took plugs out and they were wet) I also noticed that it looked like there was a line running from one carb to the other and it was off one one of the carbs. I dont know if its supposed to be there or not but it runs from a hole by the fuel line to another hole on the other carb. (cant find it in my manual) I also got another set of carbs and im going to take em appart tonight and make sure they are clean before i put them on tommorrow. (looking through manual to get everything right) Any input would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
