Jereme6655 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 theres different oppinions on what you should do to fix them on the trail.....some will say just let them sit for a while some will let them idle and a few have seen thigns like blipping the throttle or working the choke to help. The reason MOST people will pull the TORS off is because they have been known to cause problems with activating when they shouldn't. The little brain box (black box) or one of the micro switches will go nutty and think that your carbs aren't working right....however everything will be working fine and you'll be rippin through the desert at your favorite dune to roost and suddenly your bike is rev limited. haha......not a fun thing to deal with unless you know what the problem is.

06BCBANSHEE Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 also I switched from redline racing 2 stroke oil to belray. I ran the engine till it was pretty much empty then added the new fuel. I ran 40:1 with redline and i am continuing to run 40:1. The bottle recommends 50:1. seems way to lean to me. anyways it seems to be running fine now. is it because the two fuels where mixing bad together? I was also running 89 octane and switched to 94 with the belray. Could this cause it to do the same thing as it did when i ran through the puddle? or is it the TORS system sorry guys im new to banshees, and im trying to learn. I had a z400 when i was 16, but never had a chance to learn anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure people will get on here and freak out about the 50:1 but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 like NET said.....unplug the TORS black box. Its cause the carbs got wet...that's why they hang open. Unplug the TORS black box under neath your tank on the left side and it should fix your problems. Whenever i wash my bike i always take 2 gallon sized zip lock bags and put cover the carbs with them. JUST to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I did unplug the TORS box, it didnt solve the problem. I then turned the fuel off and reved it until it ran out of gas. started it with the choke on and full throttle. It still did the same for a few minutes. started revving a little higher, so i rode it out in 1 gear, and it eventually cleared up. so my guess it was the two oils mixing together? cant be the TORS because it was doing the same thing after i unplugged it. right? its plugged in for now, and its running fine (for now) I just dont want this to keep happening I appreciate your help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 why dont you find out where the water is getting into the carb/engine and fix it. are you running pods? how exactly would i do that? im running k&N filter with outerwears. also has the k&N lid filter with outerwear.

06BCBANSHEE Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) ya for now on i will be avoiding water completley. and putting garbage bags over the carbs and air box, when cleaning. I didnt know that they were so tempermental with water. Do you know why ppl take off the air lid? i ride mostly trails, and im in BC so it rains alot in the winter/fall. if you take the lid off arent you just asking to suck water in through the intake?

muggzy Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 how exactly would i do that? im running k&N filter with outerwears. also has the k&N lid filter with outerwear. You're getting the filter wet. Don't do that Check out his thread; http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=143154&st=0&p=1235255&fromsearch=1entry1235255 Mine does bog under load but without load it runs away. It's not your tors, you already proved that. Next time it happens simply take your filter off and run your engine just to prove to yourself its a wet filter.
