Duster19 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 I've done some research and I believe the noise I'm hearing is my water pump impeller. I believe it's the light ticking sound in the background. Take a listen and let me know what you think. How easy is it replace the water pump impeller? Is there any good videos online?

sleeper06 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 It's hard to tell but you would be lucky if it is , sounds like piston slap in vid but it can be deceiving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duster19 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I had a buddy of mine who owned a bike shop and he didn't think it was coming from top end? I hope he might be right I've listened to a few youtube videos of banshee engine noise today... one said it was impeller and the other video said his noise was stator magneto... What's your thoughts on those options??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98_sheester Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 If someone answers this i need to know also i feel i hear the same with my shee and its on a fresh rebuild with maybe 1.5 hrs on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Water pump is an easy one to do. Pull the coolant hose off the clutch cover to drain it. Pull kick starter, then the clutch cover. Lay it on something soft so you don't frigg up the sealing surface while working on it. Pull the pump cover off. Then remove the plate and clean it up. From the back pop the little clip off the shaft. This will allow the plastic gear, washer, and little pin come free. Now push the shaft out. Pop the seal out and use a punch on the outer bearing race to shove the bearing out. Reverse order for install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98_sheester Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Well my pistons are fresh only a tank of fuel through it so my pistons cant be bad i wouldnt think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) So was mine! Jank ass shop I used, only used one piston for both cylinders. If that's not what caused it, then it was their shit hand work when boring, and honing.

98_sheester Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Ok well thanks for the info this is my first shee but not my first 2 stroke so im still kinda new to the shee noises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duster19 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) 98Xsheester and others... So are we thinking the sound is the water pump? If it is, how easy will it be to tell with just removing the water pump cover? Or will I need to remove the clutch cover as well to see the condition of the gear? Thanks, Sheester, let me know what you find out if you tear into yours before me. Edited April 15, 2015 by Duster19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Doubt a plastic gear would make much noise, no matter condition. Bearing is another story. Also check idler gear for kick starter, and for shits and giggles clutch hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98_sheester Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Do i need to take the clutch cover off to do the impeller? Also i notice my kicker was loose in the gear but not stripped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
