grizzly204 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Well, I would like to say I am new to the forum and new to the world of the Banshee. I picked one up a few days ago and it runs great on the mid to top end but it won't idle. When you first start it up it idles fine(no choke) for 20 seconds or so and then dies. Once warmed up it won't idle and seems boggy on the bottom end. It does not have instant throttle response when revving it up. The mods--T-5's. TORS elim. kit, boost bottle, and pro flo intake. The head was supposed to have been shaved for higher compression but with the stock bore. I have no idea where to start other than cleaning the carbs(which I have not done). I live in Missouri so there is no crazy elevation. Some help from the experts would be great. Oh yeah, running Klotz. Thanks--Grizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzly204 Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I have checked for air leaks....none. Synched the carbs....done. Cleaned the carbs. Replaced the pilot jet with a 30 and it still won't idle and is boggy just off idle. If i recall the main jet is a 200. From what I have read on here the pilot jet would have been the culprit. Can somebody maybe give me some other ideas of what to check. Edited August 16, 2011 by grizzly204 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianRider Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Nobody can help me??? What a joke! I will look for help elsewhere. im also new to the banshee, and had a ton of problems getting it to idle, hard to start, bogging, etc i found this link helped me out http://www.dfn.com/agservices/jetfaq.html my problem ended up being the tors,out of adjustment floats, one plugged pilot jet,and the float bowls on the wrong carbs, left to right are different, now it is running great,but i also had to adjust the air/fuel screws and sync the carbs i'm no expert with banshee's but it sounds to me that your bogging off throttle is your pilot circuit to rich, i think a 30 is too big, try the stock 25 or 27.5. and try to get your quad warm and set your air/fuel screws when idling,fully seat the screws,not supper tight, then turn each one out,i did mine in half turns,until you get a good crisp throttle response without a bog or hesitation. mine is 1 1/2 turns out check out the link though Edited August 17, 2011 by CanadianRider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianRider Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) also do you have the idle screws on your carbs? i know that you can buy the tors eliminator kit in pieces, just the caps and cables, the drill,tap and idle screws come separate.

OK, so I found out what the problem was. Apparently the previously owner installed the carb slides backwards. Idles great now. Just need to fine tune the jetting.

CanadianRider Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 good to hear, yeah i had numerous problems with mine from the previous owner. but the good thing is i didn't have to spend any money, just adjust and clean some parts, and its running great now,starts everyday.
