Free yellow banshee Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 So I finally got everything together and tried to fire it up tonight. It is firing, but won't stay running and backfires a little bit. Mods.... T5 pipes Ported cylinders Fresh top end V force 4's Boss intake Cfm airbox K&n filters Cool head w/ 22cc domes Stock carbs 27.5 pilots, 310 mains, stock needles, air screw 2 turns out Dynatek Cdi ( I have spark) new br8es plugs Here is what I have done before trying to start it. Leak tested (passed) Cleaned carbs in my sonic cleaner (spotless) 93 octane 32:1 with maxima oil Turned in idle screw until I felt it touch the slide. Then went 1.75 more turns I'm open to any and all suggestions. The bike does not have a key. When I was making sure it had spark I noticed the key wires were not connected. So I tied them together seeing if it still sparked and it did. The wires are now together. Could this be my problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free yellow banshee Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Also I couldn't even get it to fire at all without giving it some throttle. The tors is removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free yellow banshee Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I had the wires backwards. I connected the key wires and it fired up first kick! It does seem to vibrate a lot though. I have never owned a banshee before so I don't know what to expect. When it's idling the brake lever is vibrating. These motors have counterbalances, right?

Free yellow banshee Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Ok so this is normal and nothing to worry about? Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 New crank? Trued and welded? Do you have the 2 dampers in? One in the left front and on in the right rear? I think. Might be opposite, but anyways they are on the bolts that go through the motor mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 What sheerider is talking about is the "washers" (which are actually dampeners) that go between the bolt head and the motor case.....it looks like its 3/4 of a washer as it is not a compelte circle.

Free yellow banshee Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I am not sure. I will have to check. It has the two rubber things that mount to the bottom of the motor on the front side. I will check the washers. Can somebody give me some more info on the washers that go on the bottom of the motor?

You are correct...I always remember by thinking if you pulled back on the chain that is the direction the motor would twist. They are between the frame and the motor on the two main motor mount bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free yellow banshee Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I don't remember seeing them. I'll look when I get home. I will probably have to order them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free yellow banshee Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks for the pics sheerider. I will look and see if they are there. I have 27.5 pilots in there right now. My mods are in my first post. Think I might go back to stock, but I'll have to order them. The motor shakes around a good bit. It just sucks cause I have never owned a banshee or known anyone that has. I have a gopro and I'm going to try to make a video. I might just be paranoid.

Free yellow banshee Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Can you guys look at my mods in the first post and give me jetting suggestions? I ride at sea level and haven't plug chopped yet" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
