tsuther78 Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 I just had to tear apart the bottom end to replace 5th gear. After I got everything all put back together I went to start it. There was nothing. I have checked the compression and it is all good. I am thinking that somehow the carbs got screwed up during the replacment. I was wondering if anyone knew a good way to set the carb so I can at least start the bike to get it in tune. It is starting to get on my nerves and desert season is coming up. I do not want to take it into the shop to pay a grip of money for them to turn a couple of screws half turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Giggles Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 I doubt it that the carb screws got moved during your tear down,but stranger things have happened!!! Check the tube for the choke (between the carbs) to see if it's in place. If you think the screws got moved you can screw them all the way in and then turn each one, one and a half turns out.

Toomey Banshee Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 What do you mean its not starting? Is it trying to start and then dying? Are you kicking and nothing? Did you put the slides in the correct carbs. What about your TORS. I suggest you just disconnect the connection as well as the parking brake. New plugs. Are you getting spark? Need some more info.

tsuther78 Posted September 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Well there is spark, I am only getting 100psi. Which I found out is not enough. Come to find out there is a leak in the bottom end. It is not wanting to start at all. I am just gonna say f*ck it and take it to the shop. I am not gonna tear it apart again. I tried to do the vacuum test and I cant even get it to hold for a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 That blows. Top end and a tear down. The shop is going to have fun with the labor charge on this one. Are you sure you don't want to tear it down again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsuther78 Posted September 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Only bad thing is he is pretty unreliable. I was going to use his Banshee last weekend cause mine busted.....so I drove up to his house (30 mins away) and than he told me he changed his mind cause he wanted to go riding. So we will have to see how it all goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
