redbanshee Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 I've had it! I refuse to give it away on marketplace so I'll crush it and scrap it soon if this doesn't get fixed. -bought shitbox banshee, ran, took carbs off to replace hoses, never had spark again.... -tore banshee down, full makeover, complete 370 engine, powdercoated frame, south texas banshee harness, every bushing, every bearing, 100% new quad. -ran strong for 2 hours, went to adjust carbs once day, hasn't had spark since... So far, I've... -replaced stator with new OEM unit, checked pick up coil gap, new plugs, -swapped 2 different cdi's -swapped 2 different coils -check continuity in key switch, kill switch, and every wire -tested coil, coil stator, and grounds. -my meter is even showing voltage going to the coil when the engine is turning over, however I've been told it has a pulse from the ground wire. all with zero luck no fire. This is the most unreliable POS I've ever owned, and I've had a job1 6.4 If anyone wants to chime in feel free too other wise I will crush this thing..

375hp banshees Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Twice you touched carbs & it lost spark, you sure its spark & not fuel related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very sure. I know the two have zero relation, and the TORS and throttle switch are gone as well as not present in the harness. zero spark on the plugs, dead after everything.

375hp banshees Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 I'd triple check your ground & spray it, for the heck of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silversmg45 Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Definitely sounds like the kill switch. Try it in the ON position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so weird to see voltage onthe coil wires, but the coil do nothing, the only thing I can assume now is that the powder coating on the frame is impeding the engine from grounding.

375hp banshees Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Possible the trigger has to trip, to spark also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ground wire idea didn't do much, although I'm now sure both the crank case and cylinders are grounded. I have a solid ground with the plugs laying against the head, and my meter is reading small amounts of voltage at the plug when the engine is turned over. like.398 volts. That tells me there is activity, Just can't figure it why it wont actually transmit the right signal to the primary coil. (I've tested 2 different cdi's and 2 different wiring harnesses). Everything is testing good throughout the entire electrical system but it just won't spark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano3 Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 still have the OEM kill switch? I know you tested it but i had issues with the pinfit in that connector and would cause a no spark when hot, i could wiggle and tug that connector and it would fire up. Also since you were messing with the carbs both times, I would wiggle the stator harness and make sure that tests good and has consistent readings while doing so. Are you sure the STB banshee is for correct year and CDI/stator combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Were the coils complete with wires & boots? & thats grounded good to frame b/y or b/w wire on cdi, isnt shorted to ground? What do you have on r/b on cdi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
