Dbro1216 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) I'm fairly new to the banshee's mostly rode four stroke. But I traded for 2004 banshee it has dmc pipes with vforce 3 reeds boost bottle k&n air filter cool head with outer ware was running good at the end of the summer and thru winter only drove it a little bit. Live in upstate ny, now it's spring I got it out put a new batch of gas in the tank started up 2 or 3 kicks. Ran it around ran fine then it was loading up pulled the plug on the left cylinder and it was soaked right cylinder was dry burning right but the left was wet. It's not running right on low end but it will hit at more than half throttle to full throttle and run fine but down low its acting like its not firing at all you can hear it not firing every so often???? Need some help where to start. My guess is clean the carbs really good I run 91 ethanol free gas with klotz. And other suggestions Edited April 27, 2014 by Dbro1216 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstaton1983 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 When you own a bike like a banshee you need to get to know it. For example you need to check the compression every so often to keep tabs on the health of the engine. Other things to do especially if your not familiar with your bike is do a leak down test and clean the carbs and take note of what jets are in it. Remove the boost bottle and run stock crossover, the boost bottle will crack the intakes and lean out the motor. If you do this stuff you will have a dependle bike.

hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 start with new plugs. An easy way to tell which side isn't firing is which pipe isn't warming up. not so sure your "dry" might not be the problem side. There's a long list of things that go wrong from storage, from stuck needles and seats to rats nest in the pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
