Banshee idles high and only smokes from right side


Recommended Posts

Does it do this when its cold or when its heated up, like after a long ride. Could also be that the carbs are out of synch. Could also go for a good ride and check the plugs out. Has your coolant level changed? Like others have said, you want to do a leak down test. You will be pressurizing the cylinders and spray some soap and water around the cylinder bases, carb boots, head gasket area, crank seal areas, for signs of air leak. Wad up some paper towels or a rag into the exhaust ports and the same for the intake boots. Use a air nozzle with a rubber tip on it under low pressure and soak down the area that were mentioned. Be careful not to over pressurize it you will blow the seals at the crank. Should notice a major leak right away. There is a trans breather tube at the rear of the motor on top, probably has a bunch of crud around it, if its bubbling here the right side crank seal is bad. So really pulling the stator cover off, removing flywheel, removing exhaust, take carbs off but leave the boots/ intake on. The correct way would be to go to harbor freight and buy an engine leak down test kit which are in the 30 dollar range or so, and get some rubber plugs or boots and hose clamps to fit over the exhaust and carb boots. Good luck.
