snapon76s Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 hi everyone... im new to banshees and this site. i have an 89 banshee that ran great until my son hit a deep puddle. i thought he ingested water, but the compression was good in both cylinders so i disassembled the carbs completely and cleaned them. it idles ok but when you ride it breaks up and pops out of th r/s exhaust pipe intermittently.it runs like crap for 3 seconds then ok for 3 seconds repeatedly. i was told that it was possibly electrical such as a cdi or a coil? all the connections seem ok. any suggestions are appreciated. thanks in advance!!!!!

batoutofshell Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 check your coils wires look them over real good check the connections and tighten em up.look into the spark wires too screw off the ends look and see if they are rusty inside and cut off a little and screw them back on.try these ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
