Spottty Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hey guys. New to the Banshee and 2 stroke world and had a question. Just fired it up in the shop about to take it for a quick rip and noticed that fuel was coming out the right pipe. It was smoking the normal amount during warmup. I shut it down once I saw the fuel coming out. Is this a sign of something up with the carb? My buddy did fire it up once when it was -15c in the shop but didn't run it, just to warm up. Like I said I'm new to this so if this is normal just let me know. Also, any good places to find DIY stuff for these things like carb rebuilds? I'm good with tools but would like some points to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottty Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I see no other leaks besides what's coming from the end of the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandking Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Is it just spitting little black specs..may be nothing or reed peddles going bad. Go ride it if you have no power check reeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottty Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ok. Thanks man! If it is reeds what all do I have to do? Just replace the reeds or is there more you have to do? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandking Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 You have to remove the carbs to get to reeds simple repair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
