mudcool Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 The fuel tank switch was on the ON(main tank) and the banshee stopped. I switched to reserve and it wouldn't start. Checked the fuel tank and it was empty... What do you think is the problem? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a arrow on the selector valve. Take A Close Look At it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcool Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 The selecter valve was on the main ON. It was not on reserve, I am sure of it. Since the main tank and the reserve tank is the same, then I would assume something is wrong with the inside of the selecter valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDS2106 Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) maybe the pickup tube broke off or has a hole in it making it shorter than the reserve side pick up tube probably not but just a thought Edited August 13, 2005 by MDS2106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Checked the fuel tank and it was empty... What do you think is the problem? uh....i'm gonna go out on a limb here. It's a long shot but..... try refilling the tank...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcool Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Its being done twice, same result. I guess I have to check out selecter valve, possibly change it. I would assume the valve is not turning the inside, so maybe I should open it up and check it out, maybe change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Being that the tank was empty, you probably have a kinked fuel line somewhere. Maybe your CDI is junk. Saw your CDI in half and let us know whats inside. Its a possibility the little AA batteries inside it need to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rptorman Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Some times fuel gets stuck on the right side of the tank. Throw a match in there and see if you can see fuel in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I need a new CDI and $100 to fill up the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee~ Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hey mudcool, did daddy sell your all your bikes? Anyway, I think something is wrong with the valve because my friends blaster does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 You need to take the valve out of the bottom of the tank and look at it. There are 2 tues inside the tank... 1 is long and one is short. Somewhere someone cut off the longer one {reserve}. WHile you're in there, make sure there are NO screens on the tubes. Install a clear in-line filter so you can be assured you have fuel flow. I forgot who it was on here {Nyuk I think} who burned up a couple top ends because of lack of fuel due to clogged screens.
