iceman Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) Just thought I'd tell you guys, I talked my dad into buying a banshee. Its a stock 03 red and black. I test drove it and its pretty fast, but I left the gas on on the drive home and now it wont start. And my little brother got a YZ85, he has to learn how to shift now though.

Tighten them back up turn the fuel back on and try starting it again. May take a bit but it should start. Or you can jsut kick it for a half hour or so untill its comes unflooded. its up to you.

iceman Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) I took the plugs out, they are soaked with oil lol, My dad won't let me work on it though, he said he doesn't want me working on it the first day we got it. Thanks though. Yeah I finally got one. Edited January 3, 2005 by iceman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I have been kicking it for ever, my leg is going to fall off. I rode it at the guys house, then we came home, the gas was still on. Turned the gas off, let it sit for 30 minutes, now I've been kicking it over, with the gas off, taking the plugs out, cleaning them, kicking it over again. For a long time. Turned the gas on, kicked it over for a while, cleaned the plugs, put the choke on, kicked it over for a while, then cleaned the plugs and put starter fluid on them, still no start, turned the gas and choke off and been kicking it over, still no start. I was just riding it a couple hours ago. What happened. I'm thrilled to have a banshee, but I need to get it running first. By the way, the shocks squeak and squeal at the bushings alot, is that really bad? If I pull the shock forward it stops for a while. I don't think it's a huge problem. Would WD 40 fix that? It seems like they arent lubricated. And whats the coolant under the seat for? cause thats empty. I'm gonna get some pictures as soon as I can.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Gotta ask the obvious. Do you have the key switched on? Is the run stop switch on? Did you turn the gas back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Gotta ask the obvious. Do you have the key switched on? Is the run stop switch on? Did you turn the gas back on? 301532[/snapback] maybe a plug cap also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I tried. I even pushed it down our hill with my little brother trying to start it, then I had to push it back up. So I should probably fill that back up then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Alright, brought it back up to the guys house last night, he unplugged the spark arrestor cable and it fired right up, Made sure the gas was off, now today it wont start, The only thing I can think of is the jetting, The elevation of where I bought it is 960, where I am is 1100. Would that make enough difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboybanshee Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I'll bet he means TORS..... Do you know what the TORS system looks like iceman? That could be the issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
