deathtrap Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I have an 01 banshee with toomey t6 exhaust and k&n intake I bought a few months ago. When I got it, I did a carb deep cleaning and rebuild, I also used the toomey perfect jet kit. It ran awesome and I did 3+ hour ride each weekend, but I noticed the next day it was hard to start. Fast forward and now if it sits more than a day, I need to spray pre-mix/gas into the intake. Pilots are 1.5 turns out, the slides are perfectly in sync and it runs great once started and warm. I checked the choke tube and it exists and is intact. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.G. Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Switch the bowls around. Only one bowl has the choke jet. Make sure that is on the side with the choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskool Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 what size pilots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Failing cdi, coil or low compression can cause hard starting issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrill-billy85 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ahh so much to do here. First thing is a good compression check, next, visually check spark, and ensure the bowls are on the correct carbs. Could also be a dirty pilot circuit. The screw you're talking about (pilot) is actually called the air screw. It meters air in the pilot circuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee4mil Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 get 1- 2 size bigger pilot jets, and new plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrap Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks for all the replies. I have been very busy at work, but I am finally back at trying to get this thing sorted out. This problem has escalated into the left cylinder firing for about 10 seconds and then stopping while the right is fine. This prompted me to finally do a compression check on both cylinders and I got 135-140 on both. I then pulled the carbs again and everything appears to be in order. I am stumped because it was running fine and after a long ride all of this started. Any more ideas with this new info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pp13bnos Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'd put fresh plugs in it, and try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunetigger Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I agree with the fresh plugs and checking the spark first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
