Blue Duece Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Just a dismal shot in the dark Led......pull the air cleaner and take it for a spin, all the guys are right with the shorts and wet connections but just to make damm sure it's not a clogged, wet, shitty air cleaner pull it and take it for a ride, maybe your main jets clogged but you said the carbs were clean, i dont know, just before i rebuild my bike i look for the simple stupid shitt.....

ledofthezep Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Blue...I had just cleaned the filter & lightly oiled it. I started it in the garage w/the toomey 2:1 off & shee still did the same thing. That was one of the 1st things I tried. I know 100% that the jets aren't clogged & the carbs are clean...have had them off 4 times now to quadruple check. I dunno....it's gotta be electrical, I think.

papa_smurf49319 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Ive put new gas in it, new spark plugs, cleaned my carbs, and air filter, un plugged tors. And whouldnt the connectors be dry by now, i washed it two or three weeks ago. i am sure i didnt spray any water down the silencers im not that dumb. i replaced the stator like 3 months ago, because of a spittin and sputterin problem and that fixed it and it ran like a champ.

Oilsmoke Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Papa Go though the whole wiring harness and Clean every connection (use wire brush and scratch it up a little in the female side too) and grease them with die electric grease. I washed my motor in the 300zx turbo and lost the crank position sensor do to a lose connection in that sensor plug to harness from water, took 3 day to find it.

96rybanshee Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 im having the same problem man, right after i wash it, it'll spit and sputter and then rev the hell out of it for a while and it'll clear it self or id be foulin plugs and its pissin me off, i cant figure it out, is yours spittin and sputterin even after revin the piss out of it, it doesnt clear itself, im gonna try new plug wires but i dont know could be a leak somewhere, but theres to much shit to look for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 That most likely is the carbs acting up. The banshee carbs are known to do that when they get wet. I've never figured out why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtreads Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 just chiming my 2 cents - mine does the same thing and always has. I've done everything that has been sugested here including the die electric grease to all the electrical etc. It really sucks cause as soon as there is puddles I'm screwed and gotta call it a day. I sure would like to fix this problem.Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 I'm pretty much having the same problem as papa_smut still, but can't figure it out....she backfires & spits at only, and only WOT.? I've tried everything but coil & cdi...and stator, but mine too is farily new & there's no water or anything in or around the flywheel cover. The pickup coil looks fine & I've tried adjusting it in & out w/no avail. I've got a post somewhere about 'cracked reeds' that has all the crap I've tried...and it's not cracked reeds I know that now. I know it's gotta be electrical...just gotta get some time to mess with it & start swapp'n parts with my '99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 just gotta get some time to mess with it & start swapp'n parts with my '99 Sometimes, this can be the most effective in diagnosing electrical problems.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa_smurf49319 Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 ya when i check my wires all out ill tell you guys whats up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfastbanshee Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I have always had this same problem after washing mine too....the cdi would get wet and short inside. It would be fine once dry but now it is fried all the time now. I have a spark but it is weak. The bike fires up and idles ok but won't rev out. I brought in the spark plug gap and it helped. Also the key does not shut the bike off anymore. You might try the key...if it doesn't shut the bike off I can almost guarantee your cdi is shorted like mine (looking at the wirind diagram). Hope this helps...best thing to do is swap cdi's and you will know instantly! Also check orange/black wires going into the coil...but sounds like a shorting issue.

papa_smurf49319 Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 when i got the bike it had a problem with it bogging, the guy before me thoguht it was the cdi so he bought a new one and put it on, well come to find out it wasnt the cdi, and ended up being the stator. So know that i have a extra cdi, i will try the old one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
