AceOrAaron Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I pulled by banshee apart a couple weeks ago and cleaned the carbs out thoroughly with air and carb cleaner. Cleaned the air filter, replaced the main jets but for some reason it will not start unless I use the tiniest bit of carb cleaner in the carbs then it pops right off and stays running. When I tried kicking it over today, I kicked it about 15 times and pulled the plugs and there was a tan film of some sludge on the plug. I have no idea what it is because I cleaned everything besides the gas tank but the gas looks great through my clear fuel lines. The reeds are clean and everything leading up to and past the carbs is clean. I have 25 pilots and 260 mains and it’s about 60° F at 700 ft Any info would be greatly appreciated.

locogato11283 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Have you checked compression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Why did you clean them? Put choke tube back on? slides in correct carb? If it pops off with spray, your not getting fuel...open drain & make sure bowls are full, if so re-clean carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceOrAaron Posted April 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 My compression is good at 105 each and I cleaned them because it was sitting for a long ass time and I just expected it to be gross in there. Slides are correct, choke tube is good, bowls are full, but sometimes floats get stuck on either carb. I inspected the reeds again and I found one flap was barley warped up so I flipped it and now it starts within the first 10 or so kicks. Good but not good enough. Bowls are also on correct carbs. I should prolly just replace every gasket on the thing before I ask anymore questions now that I think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
