imateverycorner Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hi I have a 87 banshee That will not kickstart unless I put gas on the filter. after its warmed up and gas on the filter it kicks over everytime. It has a new top end on it.it also has procircut pipes. Before it use to kick start on first kick all the time until I blew the rings one day and was messing with the air fuel screw after that it wont start up by kicking I dont have a airbox I have direct filters to the carbs it has spark and compression. I also dont have a hose from carb to carb need help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey83 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Did you get the air screws back where they were? May need to bump up the pilot one size for colder weather. Check choke assembly. Check choke o-ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey83 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 That's a good starting point. Stock carbs? Clean carbs and check jet sizes while you're in there. May need to bump up the pilot. If they're stock I think the pilot will be a 25. Next size up is a 27.5 then 30. Stock main jets are are around 200, 210, or 220. I can't remember. Check that choke too. My carbs had a bad choke plunger and when you pulled the choke it wasn't starting because the o-ring in there wasn't blocking the choke circuit.

Starwriter Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I also dont have a hose from carb to carb Duh! There's your problem. Put the choke tube on between the carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imateverycorner Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 So if I put a tube from carb to carb it will kick over and run ? Because it runs without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imateverycorner Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 A universal tube will do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 It's just rubber hose. It's not rocket science. Just make sure it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
