Chris327 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 i went riding with a group of friends today and i went through a small creek to get to the trails on the other side (2-5 inches deep where i rode) i was going about 10 mph and as soon as i started going through the water it started to bog down all the way to like 2 mph and kept bogging... i can make it up small hills and stuff but wont let me go over 2 mph. i thought it might be my tors system but i took that out along with the parking brake like a year ago. it idles fine but bogs when i give it gas or start riding. ohhh... and it will run like a champ when the water dries off but even the slightest small puddles will set it off to start bogging.i thought it might be something electrical like my dyna fs digital tuning so i did a little diagnosis to try to pinpoint the problem - i started it up while it was dry and running fine then got a spray bottle and sprayed the wires till it started to bog. found out that it was actually in the carb area??? i am really confused on what the problem is. water by the carb area then dried and ran fine again. i sprayed and dried it off multiple times and continued to do the same thing? info you guys should also know: v-force stage 4 reed, 2-1 carb, pro design air flow, dyna fs digital ignition. any info/solutions would be greatly appreciated! ...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Your sure its not hitting the stator wiring or connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris327 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Your sure its not hitting the stator wiring or connector maybe... it is kinda dark and i did shock the f*ck outta myself on something while it was wet. if it is that how would i go about fixing that? im trying to go rip up more trails tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 umm....there is no way you should actually be getting shocked. If everything is correct on your wiring system and in good condition it wont happen. Unless you disconnect a spark plug while its running....gonna get tazed for that one. But being in the back of the motor....makes me think you have at least a crack in some insulation somewhere and its starting to short when you get it wet. The stator wiring runs underneath your carb and is held on by a bracket which also holds down your clutch cable......go check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris327 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 i tore my banshee apart to day to check ALL the wiring and might have found the problem, there was a couple of wires that the insulation was frayed by rubbing on something leaving bare wire open so i put some electrical tape on it and shrink wrapped it up... also cleaned out the carb making sure everything is nice and tight. i will see if it worked in the morning, its too late to start it up right now but thanks for your input and will post in the morning. hope it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Look at the car parts or hardware store for liquid electrical tape. works good for sealing chaffed wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
