Hey guys im new the this forum. Any ways heres my problem i have a buddy that has a banshee 01 it will start no problem and sit there and idle but when you go to take off it doesn't have any jam wont even spin the tires. I am not to sure what has been done to it but the wireing is a chopped and i have tryed other carbs on it and i have also changed cdi out to see if that might have been the problem but cant seem to figure out what it is and help would be great thanks

Ive tryed almost everything except the stator could it be the problem

 

 

 

Your CDI/Stator are pretty much hit or miss items meaning they're either good or bad, (there are some cases where they've caused funky issues) however; most of the time they're either good or bad.

 

That being said, we need to know what's done to the bike. Such as:

1) K&N Air filter or something besides stock

2) Aftermarket Pipes?

3) Other than stock carbs?

 

Anything that could cause a change in airflow or fuel delivery.

 

Other Questions:

1) Since you've had the carbs off what size jets are currently in them? Both pilot & main

2) What elevation above sea level are you?

3) What's the ambient temp there?

4) Is the choke tube connected? (Black rubber hose that connects between the carbs)

5) Are the carbs syncd? (Since theres two carbs on the banshee they have to open at EXACTLY the same time for optimal performance, there are tools for this or you can do it by sight/feel. When you press the throttle you should see both slides move at the exact same time. If they don't you'll need to adjust the adjuster nut on one or both carbs until they're both opening at the same moment.

 

If all that checks out your jetting is probably off, by providing us with the information above we can help you select proper jetting to get the bike dialed in.
