CKylesworld Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 I have a banshee and have had it for about 2 months. It had mods when I got it and ran fine. Well I have done some mods of my own and now it dies all the time. When you give it gas if you dont rev it up it dies, I mean boggs even if you dont give it alot of gas to rev it high. I put a +4 degree key in and have taken the carbs apart and reed cages out to see what was in it. As far as I know all the carbs and reeds are back exactly like they were and also the air screws on the carbs seem to make no diff in the problem. I NEED HELP!! One thing I thought it might be is the carbs out of sink, I saw this in the Clymers book. I really have no idea how you can tell though. But if any of you have an idea as to how I can fix this plmk Thanks Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superchicken Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 did you make sure you put the slides back in the carbs right? the ramp facing the airbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hey Christy.....other than my PM,..you may want to post this in the Jetting & Exhaust forum and see what peeps have to say. It sounds like a jetting issue to me, perhaps come down on the mains a size?...but I'm not a jetting expert like some others on here.

ScreaminShee01 Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 did you remove your tors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKylesworld Posted December 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 When I got it, it already had the tors removed. It ran fine when I got it and the only mods I have don is a degree key and had the carbs apart to rejet it but ended up putting the jets that came in it back in. I dont know if the carbs being out of sink could cause this or not. I am unsure of how to check that since it dosent have the stock tors caps and in the clymers manual the directions refer to the tors caps.

CKylesworld Posted December 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 OH yea and when it dies you have to pull the choke out to get it to start again even if it is kinda warm...... I hope this helps with the diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superchicken Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 sounds like one of the circuts in your carb is blocked or the hose that connects the choke to both carbs is leaking,the next time you get it to run keep it running and pull the choke if it keeps running theres deffinately a fuel problem,if it sputters out and dies chances are its in the ignition.just a thought,let us know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgamla Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 I had a similar problem when one of my reeds was hanging open. I would have to keep the engine screeaming or it would just stall. Had power way way up high but that was it. Might want to check and see if something fell down in there and is holding a reed open. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoin39 Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 If you have to pull the choke out when it is warm you are too lean, the choke makes it suck more fuel, I would recheck your carbs and go up a size on the pilot if it's stock.you can visually sync the carbs by looking into the airbox. they should go up/down the same if not since you have the tors eliminator caps just adjust by the screws on top of the caps to get them in sync.

CrRider80 Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 if u mean it breaks up once the powerband comes in it might be because theres something wrong with the piston. check ur compression. my cr was like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 You pulled the carbs off and probably disconnected the choke tube w/o realizing it and didn't reconnect it..there is a 1/4" tube about 2" long between the two carbs, make sure its in place.....
