Sandfrk33 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I had a stator go bad, but you could only tell at high RPM's. Would cut out right when the powerband kicked in. Did you check your compression so you can check that off your list? Make sure its not something major. That always makes me feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 check the harness for cooked wires. if all else fails try another CDI then actually TEST with a ohms TESTER the entire electrical system then check to make sure it has gas in it and its on..

Pat the one the only Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 i used an ohm meter to check the stator and using clymer's specs it was perfectly in tune, there are no specs out there for testing a banshee cdi however, and i have no buddys with extra cdi's. i pop started it, and it would idle like a champ, but would cut out and occasionaly backfire on rev up, any ideas? im thinking cdi or fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat the one the only Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 my banshee is a 1993, with a stock coil, stator of unknown origin (may be stock), and a vitos cdi box. the TORS, parking brake, TORS box, and taillight have all been removed from it, so no issues there, i just took out both reed blocks, saw no cracks so i double checked the tightness, then cleaned both carbs perfectly, put a new choke tube on, and cleaned the air filter. the shee will now kick start and idle perfect, but when i try to rev it cuts out, backfires, and almost sounds like its running on one cylinder, but its hard to tell with a 2 into 1, hmmmm please help me out here guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat the one the only Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 my problem isnt with fuel, or compression if it idles perfectly, so it must be electrical, but my stator tested perfectly, could it still be bad? or is it the coil or cdi? if the coil went wouldnt it have no spark? it has fat spark, and idles fine, but doesnt wanna rev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjn56 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 So the parking brake switch is removed right. thats exactly what it sounds like is why I ask again, sounds like its stuck open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjn56 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I had a stator test perfectly but when it was mounted the wire burned through and shorted to the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat the one the only Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I had a stator test perfectly but when it was mounted the wire burned through and shorted to the case. my throttle slides are opperating smothely, clean filter, perfect reeds, parking brake switch and tors system including box are removed, and the stator was tested while it was mounted, so im stumped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Checked flywheel key? Stator poles clean? Timing lugs on outside of f-wheel? Set pick-up gap? tried new plugs? Plug boots ohm good? Flywheel don't rattle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat the one the only Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 everythings good, except maybee i had a plug cap go bad, cause we switched one that was falling apart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252wheelieking Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) I had the same problem with my shee & it was the aftermarket CDI box from RM stator. I installed stock CDI box & it's been running fine ever since. If I was you I would buy another known good used stock CDI box.

If I was you I would buy another known good used stock CDI box. hmm, i replaced the bad cap, and it still backfires, but VIOLENTLY!, it blew smoke through the airbox, and moved the 2 into 1 which was tightened down hardm almost off the cylinders! its pissing me off, do you think its a cdi? also if i get one, i noticed alba made a nice one with a switch on it to switch ignition maps.... anyways i dont want to waste money if it isnt it tho, any other ideas?
