banshee95purple Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I have a 95 banshee mostly stock , cool head with 20cc dooms t5 pipes adjustable stator plate. i have fighting the problem of my banshee diying after running it up into 6th gear. when i check the spark i have little to no spark. Then it might start up and run, i have changed the coil out with a buddy of mind and it will do the same thing. i havin;t tried to use his startor yet and i can't try his cdi box because his is a different year and won;t work but doesn't this sound like a bad connection?

fastbanshee8 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Try new spark plug boots, and new spark plugs. Trim a bit off the end of each wire, and screw the new plug boots on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 describe the spark. is it not blue, or intermittent, like every 3rd kick? do you have a meter to ohm out the stator? did you hook up the cable retainer on the back of the timing plate (engine ground) did you set the pickup gap? did you use the proper flywheel puller made for it?

It has been every 3rd kick but time i can get it to run which is driving me nutts. yes I do have a meter and the retainer is on the back of the plate. The gap is set at 18 thousandths, and I have the puller made for quads flywheels. Now my question is the the magnets on the out side of the flywheel for the pickup coils is how strong should the be to me they are weak compared to the magnets on the in side of the flywheel for the stator. Is that the way they should be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the way they should be? that's normal. as for magnets on the inside, they should be evenly spaced x12..... ohm out your stator and pickup red-green, red/white-green/white. double check the wiring, especially by the exhaust..

Stator is 17.6 ohms and the pick up coil is 117 ohms. now iam lost if it was a gound problem wouldn't that affect the lights as well.

fastquad02blaster Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 You mentioned that it does this when your hauling ass in 5th and 6th gear area. Could it be running out of fuel? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 to answer your q- yes, it can present with poor/inop lighting power, but doesn't mean that it always will, or be pronounced........ as for your readings, iirc, they are in spec, but on the low side. 2 things you could do. either take a reading while it is hot and malfunctioning, and/or simply do a visual inspection of the ignition windings. if they look pretty brown and all crispy, there is your answer. as for the cdi, they rarely go out, but if you want to test it, there is 2 methods- one, smack it when it is giving problems and see if it changes, or 2- swap with a good known working one. if you are sure about the every 2-3 kick sparking, that is characteristic of low stator output. (the cdi, by definition, needs to charge up before sparking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the cdi, by definition, needs to charge up before sparking) first of all i want to thank everyone for there help. I took a reading when it is hot and the stator is 23 and the pickup coil is 146 I going to see if my friend will let me try his stator out of his banshee.
