928banshee1997 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 My 1997 banshee run great when it wants to and is flawless! But usually it doesn't want to run! I'll go to kick start it and it'll kinda start (bogs down) and then die after About 5 seconds. If I do it a few times it'll backfire very loud! I have no idea why it does this but it has new spark plugs, new stator new Cdi box. And help is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 weather different then last time it ran great? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
928banshee1997 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yeah its a little warmer! Lol I live in Missouri so the weathers crazy! But I rode it winter with up 30's outside, now its around the 50's since I've been trying to ride it, I have rode it one day it was in the 60's and it ran out perfect. The weather can screw that all up and make it not want to start and backfire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowit Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 If it runs fine once warmed up, I would highly suspect you are not operating the choke properly or it is not working right. The choke has two positions and many times not pulled out all the way. I would also advise that you screw the air screws (brass screw, filter size, bottom of bell) in about .5-1.0 turns. I highly doubt you have an electrical or major jetting issue. Sounds like it needs more fuel when cold. Brandon Mull Engineering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydownunder Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 if it only works when it wants too, set up a time and day with it. ask it if next sunday is ok, at around 11am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
928banshee1997 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks all!! I will try everything until i get to the problem! And I think I pissed it off because i asked it and it won't talk to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Check pick up coil gap, choke tube, and flywheel - could've sheared the key. Backfire usually indicated a timing issue or extreme lean condition (air leak). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
