crash&burn Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 So today went to start my buddies banshee up and the throttle would not move it was stuck.... its about eighteen degrees here right now and the past few days and here is the list of things we did.... 1. moved, jiggled, took the throttle cable and moved in such ways you could break ice free in there if the was some....didn't work 2.pulled the airbox of the carbs pushed slides up with my finger and they fell right back down did that a few times....didn't work 3. tapped the tors to try and break up any possible ice build up in there nothin happened.... 4. ajusted the idle up and down on the tors to see if it would help break some thin free.... well it did got about half throttle and the twist throttle would move a bit... 5. so we got the twist throttle to kinda work and then it broke free and was workin and the next thing that happened was the thing stuck wide open and turned into runaway hit the kill switch nothin happened pulled the plug wires kept runnin and shut fuel off and i pulled the choke and yanked the carbs off and it of course died..... while it stuck wide open my buddy ran away from his own quad to let it blow up in my face while i saved it from seizing or whatever it was gonna do So does anyone have any idea what might be the problem besides probabl needing a new topend now.....also i have him finally convinced to get the tors removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jereme6655 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 well....to fix the problem with the throttle cable your probably gonna have to take the carbs off along with the throttle cable and take them into a warm house to get them thawed. As to it runnin away form you and not shuttin off even with the plug wires pulled......that's cause the thing ran lean. If you get an airleak (like your buddy probably has) it leans the hell outta the fuel mix which spikes the temp in the cylinders. When that happens your spark plug node gets so hot that it will actually ignite the fuel without even sparking. so basically your motor is doin its own thing......... you can kill it by starving the air outta it (holdin over the inlet of the air horns) or some have luck with stabbin the throttle to get the plug to cool down for a split second. but mostly what helps the most is the choke.... pull your buddies pipes off and the carbs and do a leakdown test before you tear the motor apart.....it will help you identify where the leaks are that caused your problems...
