Shee_Man Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Recently I went to watch some quad drags... a couple of the banshees I noticed had this sweet smell... i assumed it was race gas or something... hadn't smelt it ever before really. Then my buddy bought a banshee and it made the same smell, thought it was just the way banshees smell. But I bought mine and it doesn't have that smell... could it be the silencer packing or something? We both run pump gas and use the same oil, so it isn't that... Maybe some one knows what i'm talking about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 A "sweet" smeel could be some one had ran race gas wiht a sent(they make sent you add in to your gas to make it a little easier on the nose such as cherry,grape pina coldia etc) even though your running pump gas this sent could have goten stuck in to the silincers packing. anouther thing that will make a sweet smell sometimes is coolant being burnt any white smoke??

Shee_Man Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 sorry... I thought about that when I wrote it... I wouldn't necessarily call it a "sweet" smell... just to me it is so sweet. (as in I like the smell). So it could be race gas from before... that's probably it... anyone else know the smell I mean... i've only smelt it on banshees... does race gas smell stick around that long?

cam2 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 it could be that he's using scented spark plugs, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassup350 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 It may be race gas that your smelling it does smell pretty sweeeet. My friend bought an XC SP 800 last winter which had racing fuel in it and i could smell that stuff for a while and it slowly faded away as he ran more pump fuel into it.

FireHead Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Maybe they are hanging a tree on the grab bar so that their pipes don't smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frocashmoney24 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 maybe there running a richer mix, making the oil more pungent to the nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
