Master of Faster Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I'm having a problem with the second Banshee that has proven a little tough to track down, starting to think maybe a twisted crank but all this Banshee has is a set of Fattys, +4 timing, and .030" off the head, nothing very aggressive. It fires right up beautifully, idles great, revs right up like normal, very crisp just like it should be, but when you get on it and take off anything past 1/4 throttle or so it just falls right on its face, smokes a ton (blue) and loads right up, if you stop you can rev it up and clean it out and it'll rev right up like normal, but as soon as a load is put on the motor it just has nothing again. Compression ~ 130lbs both sides Cleaned carbs, then tried another set Cleaned air filter New plugs I swapped out (one at a time) the coil/wires/caps, stator, and CDI off of my Banshee. Reeds look fine and are sealing against the cages. Still no go, so any suggestions as to what I'm missing? All I can think of now is a twisted crank, could that cause the problems I'm having? Thanks guys Quote
Master of Faster Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Posted April 7, 2006 Nevermind, stupid problem found, junk outerwear, I was looking at it when I revved it up and it sucked the outerwear right to the filter, it has a thin film of junk on the inside of it that will NOT come off, really strange, I had just washed it two days ago, never seen anything like it before, removed outerwear and runs awesome.

80overShee Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Ya, I was about to say. That doesnt sound like anything mechanical, sounds like a air flow problem. My first guess was bad needle jetting but since you have it figured out. Quote
