ignert Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I picked up a banshee really cheap and all it needed was a stator. I put a new stator and adjustable timing plate and tors eliminator in and set it to +4deg. Started first kick, took it around the yard yesterday to warm it up to adjust the idle, shut it off for a minute and now won't start. Tried it again today and the same thing happened. Any ideas? Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignert Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Only FMF fattys, needles moved to middle clip. Other than that it's all factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Have the carbs been cleaned? What jetting does it currently have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignert Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Haven't touched the carbs other than doing the tors eliminate kit on it. The last owner said it had 160 jets. Sound right? Idk, I'm new to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, I'm new to this NO!!!!! With just fatty's you should be around 260 and probably 27.5 on pilots. This is around sea level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignert Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Like I said, I'm new to this. But I will check it out this weekend. But would that cause it to start first kick and then when warmed up not start at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 It is remotely possible. Your cold starting it with choke adding more fuel. After that it's leaning out real bad. If that's what jets are in it it's a miracle it hadn't grenaded on you. What's your elevation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uman1030 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Its possible, sometimes its just easier to find out what is not the problem to cut down variables to actually diagnose what is the problem. Lot of things on these can have similar symptoms for totally different causes. can be frustrating when you don't know where to start. Jetting, airleaks or electrical problems are almost always the cause of most any issue with these. Alot of times there is no quick fix with out some testing.
