DreamShee03 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have a friend's banshee in the shop right now and i was needing some help. The damn thing starts right up on the first kick and idles perfect but the second you give it gas (even a little) It dies. I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what the fuck is going on with this thing. -darin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tors are still connected, could they be the problem? I have never had a shee with them still on so i dont know much about them. Thanks -darin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Could be... Unplug it all. Probably a good idea to completely remove the carbs and clean out ALL the passages as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamShee03 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 my buddy said he was just riding it, spun a donut, then it died and would just start but couldnt rev it up. More info on the tors system would be nice and mabye how to check it to make sure that it is ok. Thanks again -darin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Do a search on it...there's a thread here by chase@miamiatv on what to unplug....with pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 TORS could very well be the issue...here's Chase's thread :beer: http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...mp;#entry557013 I know this sounds simple and stupid, but make sure the air filter is clean. If it's dirty and clogged, as soon as you nail the gas it won't have enough air to breathe, and kills the engine. Just trying to help you rule out what it CAN'T be, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Go out and check the parking brake mechanism and make sure that everything is tight and what not. There's 2 pieces that if they seperate they will cause this exact thing. I'd be willing to bet this is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripledsracing Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 i bet u its the reeds mine done the same thing,have u looked at them to see if thats the prob thats the 1st thing id check instead of tearing into other things.

chase@miamiatv.com Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 follow my thread bigboy posted above , if everything is disconected like my thread shows . You should have no problem..... If the problem still persist seek imediate banshee medication.... Check carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamShee03 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Ok thanks guys. I'll go check all that shit and get back to you all. Once again thanks -darin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowriderb Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 if after checking the tors and parking brake systems.. the carbs are clean and in sync the reeds are there, the filters clean.. swap cdi's with yours and see if it still does it..

J-Madd Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 your pilot jets are good if it fires first kick. your needle and or main is off. also check your reeds. is the tors still conected? The main shouldn't have any effect at all while in neutral. I've had a main jet fall out and it runs fine up to about 3/4th throttle in all gears. But I agree w/ everything else you've mentioned.

steveo91886 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 check the T.O.R.S switch that goes into the throttle lever mine stuck and did the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
