Washburn Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I took them off and installed them one side at a time. I had to cut the rubber tits off of the reed intake I did that with a hacksaw instead of a utility knife just as the instructions said. They are pretty much flush. I cleaned the carbs out with carb cleaner I dident taKe the bowls off before I cleaned them. I put everything back together and now it wont start? I got spark. There is fuel getting into the carbs. I took the bowl off of the rite side carb and everything looks fine. Im stumped. Im going to take the carbs all apart and check fuel jet but its looks like its in working order. Is there anything I should do that you all can think of? Any of you have this problem? Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Washburn... Did you replace that line that goes from carb to carb (Choke tube?) That'll put a damper on your project real quick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yes I did. I took it on and off atleast five times and secured it back up. My mechanic is off today and his personal phone is off. I was up till 3 last night with my bike. 4 HOURS STRAIGHT! I had to wake up at 8 this morning to shovel 10 tons of gravel on my driveway cause the tri axel truck couldent make it up cause it was muddy so I had to do it manualy. Im sore tired Im argueing with my girl theres all sorts of shit going wrong up my camp personal problems buisness problems and to top it off the one thing in my life that always makes me happy MY BANSHEE is not starting Sorry HAD TO VENT!!!! I know it has to be something simple. I just cant figure it out. Im home now but Im going back up tomorow. I hope you guys can think of a few things that I might be missing here. I have my right carb sitting here in front of me and Im trying to see if its anything there. But everything looks like its in working order. Im not gonna beat myself up but it sure would be nice to get SHADOW started tomorow. Thanks DAJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Burned the midnight oil many a night myself.... I'd make sure you didn't unplug any wires, you're SURE it's getting GOOD spark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Well I only checked the right side plug but yes. That side is getting a real good spark. I dident check the wires as well as I checked the carbs an intake system but I looked them over. My TORS is still in there as well. I though it was gone but no its there so I unplugged that pluged it back in repeated that process about 4 times. Eventualy Im going to remove it totaly and drill a new idel screw in my carbs. But I could care less about that rite now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
differentstrokes Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 This sounds crazy, but when I installed my vforce2's I had the same problem. I kicked it about a million times and once I got it started I never had trouble again. I went through everything like you did and everything checked out. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yeah I dont want to kick it much more I kicked it probably 100 times. Im going to try to push start it. check both plugs for spark, totally clean the carbs, while Im in there I will take the reed intake out and sand the rubber down more check all of the wires plug and unplug the tors. I dont think its an airleak I put everything in real good and tight. Are there and other things I should do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z4speed Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) Are your bowls filling with fuel? Just a thought. :biggrin: oh sorry should have read the entire post. Edited November 13, 2006 by z4speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washburn Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I tryed starting fluid man. Ha im telling you its a little frustrating but I know its something simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Turn your key on and off a couple of times. Same for the kill switch. Might just have a swich going bad. Mine does that some times. Also try a new set of plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL NEVER USE STARTING FLUID ON A TWO STROKE THATS EITHER...EITHER+PREMIX-OIL=SEIZE CHECK TO MAKE SHUE YOUR REED PEDALS ARE OPENING PROPERLEY NOT STUCK FOR ANY WEIRD REASON AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO AIR LEAKS AT THE MANIFOLD OTHER THAN THAT JUST PULL YOUR CHOKE AND KICK AWAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 is your on/off button in the on position? you got enough gas in your tank that you dont need to turn to reserve? choke tubes in place? didnt foul a plug with the carb cleaner? tried choking it first?

bkabina Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Check the slides too?Maybe they are in wrong or not down all the way???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 When you say you didn't take your bowls off before you cleaned them, what does that mean? Did you just spray the outside of the carb down, maybe inside the venturi as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
