  1. 100 and 95 is not good compression, thats rebuild time compression 

    stock compression is around 120-130 depending on elevation

    you need a compression tester that has the same thread length as the spark plug with a schrader valve.   kick it with the throttle open until the needle stops moving.  prolly 10-15 kicks for a stock motor

    Well even though I agree with you 100%, they did get it running a ton better than it was. They also tested a bunch of stuff including the compression test (assuming they arent lying). But yes, I DO need to learn how to diagnose and work on this myself. I have this forum which seems to be loaded with knowledgeable and helpful people and am subscribed to a few good YouTube channels including South Texas Banshee.

     i wasnt trying to be insulting I was just saying screw the shops. 

  3. If it runs good once you get going to me that doesnt sound electrical but who knows.  Usually if its electrical from my experience it runs WORSE once under load or once it gets into the power band.  

    List of banshee essential diagnostic tools.

    -leak down tester

    -compression tester with the proper tip

    -digital multimeter 

    -clymers manual 

    -flywheel puller 

    -feeler gauges

    -patience       

    First put those jets back in (300) and 27.5 pilot.  Toomey needles are superior just an fyi but unlikely your issue.  I would get a digital multimeter with ohm setting and test all the electrical components, you cant test the CDI but you can test the coil leads and primaries and the stator (and verify that you have all oem electrical components)  Then compression test and then leak down test.  I wouldnt trust a "shop" to work on anything.   I would also pull the stator cover and verify the pick up coil gap (feeler gauge, .018)

    UPDATE...I just got my banshee back from the shop (they had it for almost 2-1/2 weeks and I told them I was picking it up by Friday fixed or not). It runs better now, but still has problems with low throttle. They are saying that they think the carbs have a small internal air leak (atleast one of them). They tried to even it out by bringing the floats up as much as they could. He is saying that I either need to do a new set of carbs or maybe go with a richer toomey needle and increase the pilot from 30 to 32.5. These carbs are stock and this thing did sit for about 3 years from previous owner. Is it possible that these really do have an internal air leak? Is that common on these if they sit for a long time? He also says he has the air mixture screw in alot more than normal. I am planning on taking it out somewhere to see if it is going to be rideable or not. He says it is rideable. I rode it up the street here in my neighborhood and it does ok. Once you get the rps up a bit she does very well. Just that low throttle area.

    so you took your banshee to a shop, he had it for 3 weeks and all he did was crank the air screw in and mess up the float level? wow, superb mechanic-ing  Just another reason to either learn to work on this stuff yourself via BHQ forums with trial and error (thats how most people here learned) or send your stuff to a legit banshee builder (reference the BHQ sponsors.)
