fastbanshee8 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Excess gas is running out the overflow tubes, and causing your plugs to foul. Make sure the float heights are adjusted properly, and if it still does it, then it's time to clean, and/or replace the needles, and seats above the floats. If those needles, and seats get worn, they will allow the bowls to over fill, causing it to run like shit, and drip gas out of the overflow tubes. Get that stuff fixed first, and it might be alright, or it could have other problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a certified auto-tech so I'm petty good at working on motors and stuff but i'm new to this banshee stuff! If its simple to repair myself then I'll do just that! What do you think? By the way thanx for the in info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) No banshee owner should be without a Clymer's Manual. That should be your first purchase, after the quad. I was very tired when I wrote the original post, and it should read as below. If excess gas is running out the overflow tubes, it's caused by either improperly adjusted floats, and/or bad needles and seats, which is causing your float bowls to overfill. This causes a rich condition, and fouls the plugs. Make sure the float heights are adjusted properly, and if it still does it, then it's time to clean, and/or replace the needles, and seats above the floats.
