ToomeySheeLE Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 My throttle seems to be sticking when i rev my banshee up , this maybe happens 3 out of 10 times i rev it up from a idle.. could this be a case of needing new top end rings? My bikes an 03 and never had a change yet.. Or does everyone think this sounds more like a carb problem... bikes very clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw04 Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 do you have after market carb tops on with idle screws? if you do it could be the idle screw was put in at a slight angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboybanshee Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Have you cleaned your carbs recently? If you have and did not grease the slides, they could be sticking in the body of the carb....had that happen to me a time or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToomeySheeLE Posted May 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 hmm.. had them off when i jetted them.. they were good and clean then.. I ran some carb cleaner through them last week and it didn't clear up the problem.. I think I'll take them off and check them over... just a bit of a pain in the ass thanks for your input Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToomeySheeLE Posted May 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 its a thumb throttle.. twist throttle is a way to ballsey for me on a shee hmm... it appears to be in a-1 shape. i wash my bike nearly after every ride.. looks mint.. cant see dirt or fraying being a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 I ran some carb cleaner through them last week and it didn't clear up the problem.. 363458[/snapback] I would go ahead and take the carbs off and put a small amount of grease on your slides...I'll bet your problem clears right up When you spray the carb with cleaner it "dries up" your slides and can cause them to stick. By adding a little bit of grease to the slides before installation it allows them to slide easier... If that doesn't work, I think you either have an air leak, broken reed, or choke tube not in place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesw Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 pull the tops off the carbs get some scotch brite pad, and kinda sand the bottom edge of the slide. i has little small knicks and stuff that snag the bore body. just smoothe it up some it works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk02banshee Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 it appears to be in a-1 shape. i wash my bike nearly after every ride.. looks mint.. cant see dirt or fraying being a problem 363472[/snapback] I bet it's from washing it. A lot of banshees with stock carbs have that problem. Mine does it every time I wash it, run through water, and even if it's extremely foggy or humid out. Does it seem to clear up after riding it hard for a half hour or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunescreaminmamma Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I bet it's from washing it. A lot of banshees with stock carbs have that problem. Mine does it every time I wash it, run through water, and even if it's extremely foggy or humid out. Does it seem to clear up after riding it hard for a half hour or so? Did a search first to see what I could find out about my throttle stick. This is what it got me. Mine is definitely a water issue of some sort. When I go through water or wash it, it sticks. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to avoid the stick besides the obvious, don't go through water and don't wash it???? It has had two new Motion Pro throttle cables put on. The slides are perfect. Nothing else in the carbs has any sticky or rough spots. Shee just doesn't like water. I have learned to tippy toe through water, but is there anything I can cover or protect when washing to avoid the stick? Thanks for any help.
