Animalman294 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I tried starting my shee the other day and found out that I had no spark at either of my plugs. Well after doing a little research after my shee wouldn't start I figured that I would unplug the T.O.R.S. and see if that helped. Well I got the spark back and it started and ran for about 3 minutes then died. One thing that I noticed was that the pipe with the choke controlled carb was (left side) was cold to the touch and the opposite side (right side ) was 90- 100 degrees. Now this leads me to believe that my carbs are plugged up, and mainly the left side since it doesn't seem to be firing over there. Can I just leave the T.O.R.S. unplugged and strip it off the bike, or is there something that needs to be connected to complete a circuit, and that with the screwed up carbs are causing my problem? I have spark (not very impressive), but it is enough to fire the cylinder, and I'll check the fuel flow and air flow when I get home. I think it is about time I took the carbs off and cleaned them anyway, but does anyone have any other ideas as to why this is happening? I would think that one cylinder firing would still run, just like shit. I think I will take a day and clean the carbs, plus this will give my foot a break (wore a hole through the bottom of my boot kicking it over, and now my foots killing me (damn kickstart)). Thanks for any input............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 What, no help! Ohhhhhhhhhh I guess I'm on my own on this one, unless my diagnosis is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast500#12 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) yes you can revome the tors with no adverse effects. i recomend it and so does pretty much all other banshee owners. try cleaning your carbs and air filters. if you still have no joy, put some new plugs in. if that doesn't work check the resistance of you plug caps.i feel your pain on the foot hurting, when my cdi crapped out i had a lump and a bruise in the arch of my foot for like a week and even a light kick all most put me in tears. hope this helps and good luck.

Animalman294 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Well I decided to do a compression test on my shee last night and came up with 85-90 psi cold, so it's about 90-95 hot. This I think is too low for the shee to even start, isn't it? Would this also explain why I have one pipe hot and the other cold? When I compared the two cylinder's they both were the same pressure though. I am at 900-1000' so isn't the pressure supposed to be at about 120-130? Oh, and the only things on the bike right now are the t-5's and a K&N. The rest of the parts in the sig. are sitting next to the bike in a box (no time to install yet)......... What do you think?

dajogejr Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Time for at least a re-ring, really a fresh bore and top end. My 96 ran very strong with 115 to 110PSI, but...took about 5 or 8 kicks to get her to start. My buddy just picked up a 98 with about 5 hours on it..bone stock, first kick everytime. With a fresh build, you should be 125ish...or so. Give or take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
