Younginwithabanshee99 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hello all, I've recently bought my first banshee so I'm pretty new to owning one. I finally got it running perfect the other day then the next morning I went to hop on it and it was running like dog $h*t. I noticed my right pipe was still dead cold while my left was hot. Messed with the carbs quite a bit noticed that brass washer that goes with the main jet was missing so I put one on and now the pipe will warm up when riding but still cold at idle and I'm missing a lot of power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Younginwithabanshee99 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 What I have checked so far. Compression 122psi both cylinders Reeds are good I believe the carb is clean I checked the pilot and main so no issue with them Carbs are synced Switching plugs and wires makes no difference If anyone has any helpful info I would really appreciate it. I love the banshee but dear lord its a fussy 8it*h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee802 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Spark good on that side? Sounds like a fuel issue. Your fuel lines flowing evenly? You have your choke tube in between both carbs?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 What size pilots? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Younginwithabanshee99 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I strongly believe it to be a fuel issue. That side the plug is wet when I pull it out like its running too rich to burn what all it's being given. Choke Tube is hooked up. Steady flow of fuel going into both carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Younginwithabanshee99 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I believe the pilots are stock size not 100% sure Edited April 5, 2020 by Younginwithabanshee99 Mistake in wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee802 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Have you completely disassembled the carbs and let them soak or put them in a ultrasonic cleaner? Or did you just spray them with carb clean. I think your right carb might have a plugged up port if it was running fine then went to shit. Or double check compression and reedsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Younginwithabanshee99 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I've had the carbs off and apart so many times they're clean. I believe it is a problem of getting too much fuel not a lack of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Sounds like the neadle and seat is not sealing so your float level is to high on that side flooding that cylinder. pull the carb take off the bowl, hook a fuel line to it and close the float manually to make sure the fuel stops.

GREAT IDEA! I will pull that off and give that a shot today thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattchev Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Def check float height!! South Texas banshee and couple others have YouTube vids on how to adjust and set them. Edited April 10, 2020 by Mattchev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
