geoffisacnt Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 hey so i have an 01 banshee. it has the tors removal kit. the key switch is gone and as of an hour ago so is the run/off switch. i removed it cause i thought it may be the issue. but here we go. it started up yesterday in the like 20 degree weather after about ten minutes of trying. rode it around all day had no issues. well today i adjusted the air fuel screw because it was running really choppy. once i adjusted the screw to 1.5 turns out and 2 turns out it wont run. if i pull it with my jeep it will fire up. but it wont kick over. even after pulling it and running it if i dies out which it is trying to do as soon as you let off the gas it wont kick over again. i pulled the carbs cleaned them up. everything was suprisingly clean inside. it has 310 mains 25 pilots and the needles on the middle clip. i synced the carbs back up. it will not start. i checked the wires. the black and red is connected. and the black and black white wires from the run switch are not. (im gonna put a tether on it) so everything is good. it should be firing up. but nothing. it wont start with choke half full no gas with gas nothing. the filter is clean. the compression is like 130 per cylinder. the plugs are brand new. when i pulled the plugs from it running earlier from pop starting it they were a nice creamy brown color. so the jetting should be okay. any ideas? im about to go nuts. my foot cant take anymore kicking. i pulled a plug out and like an idiot held the boot while kicking it over, it shocked the hell out of me. so i believe it is getting spark. i didnt realize that i was low on fuel so i switched it to reserve and put some more fuel in it. fuel line is clear and flowing good. idk if it is a wiring issue or what but please help!!!

Boston Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 name all your mods and elevation so we kinda know where you should be as far as jetting. did you put the bowls back on the right carb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffisacnt Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) im at around 1000ft. it has full fmf pipes. single k and n filter. thats about it. oh and a sweet vaginatarian sticker. ive had it for two weeks or so. has also started no problem every other time and like i said it started up okay yesterday. once i screwed with the air fuel is when i stopped starting. so im thinking i need to turn them in to around 1 turn out. richen it back up. cause i know my stock 25 pilot is too small. opinions ideas? the thing ripped all the times i took it out. just lacked in bottom end until you got close to powerband. when i pull started it today witht he jeep i had it about 1.5 turns out. and it was running pretty good. but once i started adjusting the mixture screw out to about 2 is when i started to die out. and yes the bowls went back on the right way. carbs are synced and look good.

BadLarry08 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Did the choke tube go back on? That can cause some issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Try 27.5 pilot. Slides in correct carb, cutaway facing air cleaner? Is bowl with little BB in the front on left carb? Float level good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffisacnt Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 everything went back together just as it came out, it wouldnt start before i cleaned the carbs. im not sure aboput the float. i inspected them and they appeared to be good. like i said that carb was pretty much spotless on the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 but did you put the choke tube back in? and also you NEED to get that pilot up to a 27.5......it will run like shit with those fmf's on it unless you bump up the compression and it will also help the starting issues....

My wife's bike runs FMF Fattys with a toomey 2:1 K&N filter and it is jetted 290 mains and 27.5 pilots at sea level. With your slightly higher altitude you should be just slightly leaner.
