wadlesw96 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 ok im snowed in tonite so i can work on it all nite if i want i just want to get some tips on what i should do. heres what is going on. it takes alot of kicks to start and it will idle for a bit then when you rev it up it will rev up then bog down and die. i dont think its the jetting because it was running great a couple days ago in the same weather. the plugs are pretty black from oil i cleaned them and it does the same thing. i just want to know what the hell is wrong cuz i want to ride bad tomorrow. would cleaning the carb with compressed air get me anywhere or something. is it just the plugs are fouled. is it loaded up with gas really bad. im a newb with shee's this is going to be my first tinkering on one. i hope its something simple that someone with some experience would be able to help. i will be on here awhile so i should reply fairly quick. any help would be greatly appriciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FASTOYS Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Are you holding the choke out? Is the choke tube (goes between the carbs) on ? Try turning the air/fuel screw in some and see if that helps. Sounds like your pilot jets may be plugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadlesw96 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Mods: New top end .40 over with Weisco pistons and rings, new case halfs, hot rods stock stroke crank, Pro design Cool Head with 19cc domes, Barnett Racing clutch with stiff springs, 200 Watt Rickey Stator, FMF power core 2 silencers with FMF gnarly pipes, Trinity Stave IV 2 in 1 carburator kit and intake with matching carb, V Force Delta 3 reeds and cage, K&N airfilter. My elevation is 1,100 ft. and the temp is around 0 degrees Im not sure what the jets are but it was running fine last week and the temp is the same Ive tried to just let it idle but after a little bit it just dies. its a fairly weak idle to I have tried it with and without the choke on and it doesnt really seem to make a whole lot of difference By taking the choke out do you mean removing it from the carb completely?

Slickgib Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 make sure the choke tube is installed.. Its a small black tube that bridges between the 2 carbs! If it isn't there it would be causing the problems your having! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusty_v141 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 he has the single carb setup so there is no choke tube. if you dont know what the jets are man you need too learn. thats one thing that comes with owning a banshee. what kind of carb do you have? i bet its a khine 33 or 35mm carb. i have never messed with them so someone else is going too have too help you.

fastbanshee8 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 It sounds as though your pilot jet needs cleaned, and on a side note, I've heard nothing but bad things about the Ricky Stator electrical stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rascal Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 It sounds as though your pilot jet needs cleaned, and on a side note, I've heard nothing but bad things about the Ricky Stator electrical stuff. sound s to me like you may have a fould plug . its that cold, get some b7es ngk plugs and it will run great in the cold temps.

wadlesw96 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 ok i went out and blew out the carb with compressed air. the carb looked fairly clean. the main jet was fine and the pilot jet seemed a little clogged but not bad. the bottom of the carb was completely full of gas and alot spilled out when i was taking it off. i checked the plugs and they were both pretty black and wet from oil. they were both still getting a spark when i did a spark test though. so after all this i went out put the choke and gas on and it started up on the 3rd kick i let it idle for a little bit then slowly pushed on the throttle and it reved up then it bogged out and died like before. next i kicked on it for awhile and it shot gas out the right pipe and also backfired i dont remember which happened first. then after i stopped i noticed where the silencer and header connect on the right side it was leaking gas. also during the kicking after awhile gas started coming out the overflow tube. my jetting is 190 main, 52 pilot, the carb is a Keihin PWK 36mm, and the plugs are ngk BR9ES, elevation is 1,100 ft, temp is around 0 im running Ti lube 2 stroke synthetic 32:1 and i did put some gas line antifreeze in the tank and shook the quad good before i tried to start it hopefully with all this info someone can help me figure out my problem any help will be strongly appriciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusty_v141 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 with all the gas running everywhere it sounds like your float hight is not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
