myers1321 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yes my crossover tube is connected, no I did not perform a leak down and compression check after rebuild, the Jets were handed to me and was told you'll need these like I said this is my first banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try loosening the plugs and spraying some starting fluid or carb spray and see it will start.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why?He's to spray starting fluid where? On the now loose plugs? If it's not getting fuel, why not fix the fuel problem? Your suggestion was dumb as fuck, thus creating my hypothesis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your suggestion was dumb as fuck, thus creating my hypothesis. do you have issues or something youre very rude.. fuck your hypothesis bro.. if you cant understand loosening plugs to spray starting fluid in the cylinder then you are dumb as fuck.. Ive rebuilt brand new engines that are dry and need a little boost to get the pressure differences going through the carbs and cylinders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FasterThanU90 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Dry engine, use starting fluid....... noted Not all the time but sometimes yes a little bit is better than kicking it 50 times with no gas and oil getting to the top end.. a lot of mechanics use it to diagnose mechanical problems.

A lot of mechanics do dumb shit as well. Don't base your logic off of a mass of people with widely varying levels of experience. Have you ever seen what starting fluid does to oil? Also, starting fluid will ignite whether lean, rich, weak spark, timing all off, little air, air leak, low compression... It is not a good disgnostic tool.

Try loosening the plugs and spraying some starting fluid or carb spray and see it will start.. DO NOT use starting fluid on 2 strokes! PERIOD. If you want to "cheat" is squirt a little pre mix in,not starting fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
