I would check the reeds to see if they are hanging open, makes them hard to start when their cold and willl start okay after warming up. Starting fluid!! would not even think of using it on a 2-stroke.

I ride Sahara with nearly the same setup. I am running a 320 without lid with K&N. bet you will be okay with the lid on.

The shift lever was broke and looked to be welded up. I think I will just move it a click and see if that helps until I get a replacement. Thanks!!!!!!!

The previous owner stated he used Gear Saver. I did the finger test and it looked freshly changed. Might need to do another change just to be sure.

I just bought a 97 banshee and I have noticed that its harder to shift compared to my friends banshee. you have to pull up harder to shift up, any ideas? it is a little difficult to get into neutral too. Its got a dirt digger clutch correctly adjusted, shifts in all gears just a little harder to pull.

How long have the plugs been in her??? check the plugs and see if they are shot and check the compression. my friends is a bear to crank when its cold his needs a topend and when he changed plugs it started a little easier.

I would remove the lid and start with a 320 main and leave the rest of the carb alone. But will depend on where your at.
