Zedrone Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I recently purchased a Banshee that has a ignition problem and I can't get it to start. So I'm looking for someone to help me figure this problem out, I'm located on the east side of Dallas, anybody knowledgeable on Banshees? Thanks, Zedrone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 ^ that Give this random list a go Trouble shooting list Flywheel and key (no rattles good magnetically) Stator (ohmed and tried 4 known good stators) Pick up and pick up gap (even filed nubs even) Wiring harness Un wrapped and gone through Plugs and connectors cleaned and greased New spark plugs Clipped plug wire ends where boots thread in New plug boots Ohmed and tried several known coils Coil surface grounded and cleaned w/ dielectric Harness ground cleaned up Tors/park brake/key/tps/ all deleted Disconnected the tether switch Test kill switch Swap coil Swap CDI Swap stator At the CDI harness side connector, check for continuity between the red/black wire and the black wire. You should have continuity with the key on. (or bypassed) If no continuity, there's your problem. If that checks, check between the black/white wire and the black wire. That's your kill switch. It should be open circuit for it to run. You got it. We noted and have posted many times, the typo that Clymer did in their manuals. Primary is from blade connector to blade connector and secondary is from plug wire to plug wire. Remember to remove the plug caps and test separately. They are known for failures . Remember also to unclip the wires completely from the coil and test "ONLY" the coil when you get a bad reading. Wires shit out commonly, the coil itself rarely fails. your ignition has 4 wires. cut the ignition off. the black with white stripe and red with brown stripe need to be soldered . then solder the red and brown wires so you then have 2 wires. wrap them up in electrical tape (NOT TOUCHING) then your ignition will be eliminated. the coil grounds where it mounts, and there is one on the back of the timing plate- it's the wire clamp. that is the whole engine ground. there is also one by the voltage regulator.

SandSlingerOR Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Take the seat off & check the harness by the frame to the grab bar. The harness will somtimes rub the frame to the point wires are exposed & causes a short/no spark. You'll have to buy a new harness then probably.

Zedrone Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I will go thru the list, I don't know about the bikes history, it has no TORS, the carbs are 30mm OKO's, thanks for all the info and encouragement. Zedrone PS. I borrowed a flywheel puller to check the stator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
