TroyBrock Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hey everyone. I've ran into alittle bit of a problem and I have no idea what it is. My banshee starts hard (low compression) I have to kick it several times until it wants to start and then I have hold the throttle open to get it started. Once it's started only the left side actually seems to be firing, it smokes like it should but the right side shows no signs of smoke and it doesn't seem to fire and it sometimes sounds like it is sucking air back through the exhaust. I don't think it is a piston problem but that's why I'm asking. Attached is a video to give you more of an idea of what I'm talking about. Stock 1987 banshee, moose racing slides and boost bottle.

TroyBrock Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Compression is low (104) but that doesn't explain why one side isn't firing. Reed is fine, carbs were out of sync but syncing them didn't do anything. Pick up gap is fine. Tried a whole new ignition coil, nothing changed.

TroyBrock Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I got it running, it was a half done TORS delete causing the problem. I adjusted the air screw and finally got it to stop sucking air through the exhaust. I still have no idea what that noise inside the motor is and yes I got 104 on both sides.

TroyBrock Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I kinda figured it was something someone else had done to it. I've been looking at it closer and this banshee is all sorts of messed up. The frame is bent, the swing arm is bent, one of the J arms is bent. luckily I'm picking up a frame this weekend and I'll be starting the project of getting this Banshee to the way it should be.
