Picked up a couple banshees


Recommended Posts

Im from the ok city area! woo hoo. i was just thinkin i need to find new banshee buds. :cheers:

 

i got mine used for cheap, pretty much stock. Ive have a lot of little shit go bad on it though. Stuff like stators timing plates and sprockets. nothing major. when buying new you dont have to worry about sutff like that as much but it is soooo much more expensive.

Sounds like you have a leak then.

 

Any changes in intake or exhaust will require rejetting. That's with any carb motor.

 

As far as the bearings, just make sure your axle nuts aren't loose. Maybe that's all it is. They do go bad though. If you do have to tear it apart, drill a grease zerk into the center of the axle carrier.

 

The choke is just worn out. They all wear out like that. There is a little clip behind the rubber. I tore one apart and fixed it once. You could replace it with a stock replacement. I think they are a little expensive though. You could just slit a piece of rubber hose to put in over the choke shaft.

 

So if the axle nuts are loose there will be play??? Ha....that might just be it. The outside nut was actually loose enough that I could unscrew it with my fingers. But I didn't think that would be the reason for the play. I tightened the nuts(the inside nut was fairly loose also) but didn't see if that reduced the play or not. I'll have to check when I get home to see if it did, that would be awesome if in fact the axle bearings are ok.

 

Yeah as for the choke I have to make some sort of a clip so that I don't have to hold it. I'm so ready to go home and rip the hell out of the lawn.....

One more quick question, when a clutch starts to go, how do you know. Does it just start to slip. I've noticed at WOT in 3rd, 4th gears it feels like its slipping a tad. Supposedly it has a dirtdigger clutch, not familiar with them and the clutch is quite hard to pull. Any info would be appreciated...

You'll feel it slip under heavy load. Even if it is a dirt digger it doesn't mean they used all 6 heavy barnett springs. You may just need the springs. If they are the heavy springs... all six are the same... you may need to rough up the steel with some paper and replace the fibers. You can get a hole kit for around $90.... fibers, steels and springs.
