Bought another banshee finally!


Recommended Posts

Finally find a banshee that fits everything I needed. However its a bigger POS then I expected.

 

Not sure what some people are thinking when they do things but oh well. It will make a nice winter project. It did not run but has good compression.

 

What I was told

Wiseco pistons (bored 100 over)

Hot rod stroker crank (told me anywhere from 7mm to 9mm stroke even though I couldnt find those numbers)

V-force reeds

FMF pipes

Cool head

Racing Clutch for drag racing (hmmm)

 

What I found

Stock Carbs with TORS system and missing tubes (not sure on jets yet)

No v-force reeds but they look new

Looked down the intake and saw what I thought was scratches on the exhaust side of the cylinder.....arrgg

Crank looks new though? (new gakets on the cylinder) Im not sure how to tell if its really a stroker.

Pistons look crazy. They have the number 200 stamped in the top

Head is a pro design cool head.

I think it has a coolant leak because there was a ton of coolant on the top of the piston. Also no scratches were found and I can still see crosscathing...however I hope it wasnt over heated even though it appears fine.

 

Lots of missing bolts, I noticed the shifter is missing but seems to go into gear with vice grips.

 

Looking forward to fixing this thing up!

Yes best thing to do is tear it completely down. Replace all bearings, gaskets, bushings, and anything that looks worn out. Might as well go ahead and refresh the motor while your at it, if the frame looks hurt get some powdercoating as well. Should be beauty when your done. :headbang:

I fell into the same boat. thought it was all good till you get it home and start digging.

 

I deceided to say fuck it, and do a total rebuild, not much of the original quad is gonna be on it now.

Im not going to rebuild the motor because it has maybe 2 hours on it. ( Again I was told his) and then it stopped running.

 

Looking at the intakes, and other things I either think he is lieing and it has ZERO time on it becaue the inside looks awesome. I did take the head off and it appears to have barley any timeon it.

 

 

 

Im going to put it on stands and tear into it and replace every nut/bolt/bearing/bushing that is bad.

 

Not sure why people just throw any bolt they can on there machines.
