Stinger

So I worked on my Shee every night for a week to get it ready to go to Little Sahara, wasn't there 3 hours and the POS quit running and I was unable to fix it all weekend So here is what it did: Early in the day my parking brake sensor screwed up, wouldn't let it rev up. Unplugged it and all was well. After another hour of flawless run time where I whooped up on a bunch of quads dragging, it dies going up a steep hill. Acted like it ran out of gas. I push it to the bottom of the hill, flip to reserve, fires up. I head for home and it starts sputtering and such when I'd go over bumps, steep hills, etc, just like if I was way low on fuel. Finally it dies on me. I tell my buddy to go get me some fuel. Fill it up, will only start intermittently and then only seems to run in neutral, put it in gear and it dies within a few feet. "go get a tow rope" So I get it back to camp and check for fuel flow, I'm getting good flow so I'm like WTF??? Try to start it, it won't start. Check the spark, no spark. Borrow a coil from some Banshee guys, install it and it still won't spark. A banshee freak comes over and does a full ignition system diagnosis on it and decides it must have a bad connection somewhere as all the components test ok. Keep trying to start it and suddenly I get spark again. Fire it up, runs great...pull in the clutch and it sputters and dies Try a different guy's coil, no change. Try a different CDI, no change, pull the side cover and check the stator, tests good. Clean the flywheel pickup, no change. Grab the Clymers manual, go through the full ignition test checking resistance and such for each ignition component, everything seems to test ok. Check kill switch, seems to be fine. Plug in the parking brake, no change. Check wires from when TORS was removed, no change. Unplug everything on the harness, clean connectors, plug back in, no change. After ~8 hours in the sun, I give up and piss away my whole weekend...100 bux for the trip down the drain and I only burned 2 gallons of fuel in the shee all weekend So I trailer it 3 hours home, push it off the trailer, hop on it, kick it ONCE and it fires right up and sounds great. Put it in gear, ride about 30 feet and it shuts off. Starts right back up on one kick, ride about 10 feet and it dies. Now I have no spark again. WTF is going on here? Are there any other things that can shut the ignition down besides the TORS and Parking brake sensor??? It almost acts like it's some sort of safety mechanism shutting it down.

I'll be there with my "crew" or more specifically, my family and gf. We'll be in a black hurse...should be the only "stiff wagon" around. We'll have my shee, a peach colored KTM 250sx , a warrior, and some utility 4 wheelers. We'll get there late Friday...

Get a tors eliminator kit for ~50 bux and get rid of the problem...

Well, the 380's worked pretty well. They are a bit rich but I'm ok with that since it's only got an hour on it. I'm thinking the 370's would be perfect...

Tim, that's what it look like I need to do...

The grab bar bolts are 8mmx1.25 pitch btw...

OK, looks like the bar goes between the pipes and frame. What about the bolt size/pitch? Anybody know?

I'm at about 1600 ft but I'll be riding at little sahara tomorrow temps are in the 60's right now...gotta get it jetted ASAP. Thanks for the info...anyone else wanna chime in?

My shee was bone stock (except K&N) 3 weeks ago when I bought it. I just tore it down and reringed it. While it was apart, I added FMF fatties, Boyesen CF Reeds, Bored Stock Carbs (27.5mm?), Dual K&N Filters, Deleted Airbox and TORS, milled the head to 21cc, and did some mild porting. I didn't change the shape of the ports, just smoothed them out and bellmouthed the inlets. I bought all of these parts for 310 bux... My problem is I don't know what mains to throw in it to do the break in. I've got a 380 jet in it right now...does that sound like a good start? I've also got some 350, 360, and 370's I could try. The carbs had 220's in them when I pulled them off...

I just got my shee ready to head for LS tomorrow. I installed some used FMF fatties and a used DG grab bar. I'm having a hell of a time getting them to work together though. Do the pipes go between the grab bar and frame or outside of the grab bar? Do the pipes normally come with longer bolts to install the silencers? Anybody got close up pics of some FMF silencers installed...specifically pics of the rear bolt/mount (the one that's a 1/2" holes). Also, what is the thread size/pitch for the grab bar bolts?

I need a throttle cable for a tors eliminator kit. I have the caps and such but the cable broke and I can't find any place that sells the cable by itself. If you have one, or know where to get one, let me know. Thanks.

Thanks for the link... How about the stock graphics? Are they a dealer only part?

Thanks, that's just what I was looking for

Anybody have any pics or links to decal sets for the 1998 shee's with the white fenders and blue tank cover? All I can ever find is for the blue fenders.

I searched for everything I could find on modifying the stock timing plate but couldn't view any of the pics. I assume it's a common problem with old topics. Anyways, if someone could post some pics, it would be great!
