wiseguy Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I hadn't ridden my banshee in over a year. Its been garage kept. I cleaned the carbs and it starts right up but I'm losing power the higher I shift. Could it be the compression? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Did you completely dissasemble the carbs to clean them or pull the bowl and give them a squirt? Fresh fuel? Plugs? Slides in the right carbs? Air cleaner clean? Check the exhaust for mouse nests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseguy Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Completely disassembled the carbs to clean not sure about the slides. Would that cause power loss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseguy Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Fuel, plugs new, filter clean. No mouse nest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Check that fuel cap vent tube is clear. Petcock screen clean. Carb vent hoses clear. What do plugs look like? Gaskets for carb caps on? Brass washers under main jets? If these check out, do leakdown test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
