mudpuppy Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 So I go for a rip on the old banshee today and I have zero power.. It idles and starts perfictly... But once I give it any throttle it just boggs down.. Kind of like what would happen if the choke was on part way, but its not. help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveodo Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 maybe you should clean your carbs an blow out the pilot jets with compressed air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTMAN350 Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 For sure clean out your carbs. clean your air filter. Change your plugs and let us know how it runs then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 2004 banshee flipped 3 weeks ago (bike survived alot better than me, or so i thought). finaly able to ride again she started 1sk kick, warmed er up & she wouldn't rev, no power @ all .checked plugs & they were wet, changed them still the same. holding wot no spuddering or popping (just cutting out cyl's?) it sounded like it had a weak rev limiter set just above idol. pulled plug wire off of 1 cyl.(while running ) it sparks good (normal) at idol , as soon as you crack the throttle the spark goes down to about 1/4 what it should be? anybody got any ideas?It sounds similar to your prob. except I am pretty sure mine is ignition?? Banshee's dont have factory limiters do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbanshee8 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Do you still have the TORS on the carbs??????? If you do, unplug the little black box, under the tank, on the left side, and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
375hp banshees Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 all tors stuff gone my buddy drove it off the track for me &he doesn't recall any power prob. then Iwill check my exh. though if you hold it wot you can see smoke alternating l&r if my exh is plugged my spark would still be normal??

375hp banshees Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 sheeeeee's back ,well sorta previous owner removed p-brake cable & wired up the mechanism (because of +2 extention??) & apparently that switch cuts ignition out @ 4000. 4,000 to 17,000 at Apush of a button. A bent rim wasn't the only thing bent ,three cracked ribs/bent axil I'd say it was pretty even .thanks for all the help. read posts for years glad to join!! hope this will help you mudpuppy? posting my mods would have probably helped how do I put them at the bottom of my posts?
