The last time my buddy was into the carbs he had them both apart at the same time. Needless to say, the bowls got switched. I wasn't familiar with the choke setup on Banshees, so when I had them apart for cleaning during the rebuild, I didn't even notice it. He always complained about it being hard to start when cold, it starts on the first kick now.

We're back in business guys. Thank you very much.

Sounds like it, I'll pull the carbs again today. Thanks to everyone for the help. I'll post the results.

That was something I forgot to mention, it will start easily if I give it a spray of fuel. I did use two different choke plungers, with no change. This choke jet is new to me, where is it accessed? I don't remember seeing anything removeable behind the choke plunger. I thought I cleaned every orfice when I had the carbs apart, but I may have missed it.

I rarely post here, but don't let the name fool you, I do own a Banshee. I run a small shop out of my home and encountered a problem with an '02 Banshee that belongs to a friend of mine. There are some mods on this quad but I don't think they'll have a bearing on this issue. This quad has always been a little tough to start in cold weather, but once she started everything was good. The quad came to me to replace the clutch, do some suspension work, and freshen the top end. A new set of pistons and rings brought compression right back where it should be, there where no other mods or changes made during this rebuild. Now, here is the problem. Temperatures around here have been bouncing all over the place, from 20 degrees to 60 degrees. If the temps drop under 45 degrees, the quad refuses to start. I have drained the bowls and tank, put in fresh gas, ran a check on the stator, and bumped the pilot jets up from 25's to 30's. None of this has helped if the temperature falls below 45. If it is above 45, it runs just a tad rich at idle and just above idle with the 30 pilot jets installed. Using a heat gun, I started by warming the CDI, then the coil, then the plugs. Still no help. I then aimed the heat gun towards the air filter, giving it just a little warm air. As soon as the motor gets a shot of that warm air, the quad will start on one kick and idle perfectly. It just doesn't seem like a jetting issue to me, since it does run just a little rich above 45 degrees. One other thing that I have noticed consistently, when the temps are below 45, the quad will usually fire for a split second on the first two kicks, then nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pics of the rear wheels? Is the axle straight?

I really would like to move this stuff without the hassle of parting out. You get the stuff i posted earlier. Banshee motors and an '87 roller. The only thing I'm keeping off of the roller is the tank. It has an Amp link, Works rear shock, nerfs, good wheels with decent shape holeshots. Not a bad quad at all. I would like about $1400 for everthing listed but I can move on it a little. Alot of guys have asked me to part it, but I don't have the time. I will post pics of the motor and all the other parts if anyone would like to see them.

Everything will interchange.

Complete motor that I believe was out of a '99. I got this from a fellow CRA racer but he couldn't tell me any more than that it ran. It's bored .040. This motor came with the complete '99 electrical system and carbs. Does have the normal chain break on the upper case. '87 motor with a nice hole in the cases where the right rod used to be. Tranny seems to be fine, shifts through all gears. No cylinders or head on this motor. Also included, '04 standard bore cylinders, good '04 crank, stator and flywheel that I bought on here. A good set of case halves with no chain damage. All that's needed to have 2 complete motors is a head. I was thinking about asking $1200, but will take offers. Shipping could be a little pricey. If anyone's interested, I can supply pics.

What about the chassis? Does it have a title? How much? Thanks, Rich

Thanks, you'll have it on Sunday one way or another.

I'm going to take everything I talked to you about, just waiting for some money to get transfered into Paypal from an Ebay sale. Should have it today or tomorrow.

I'm interested in the crank, PM me please. Maybe the cylinders too.

I know I'm new here, but I've never had an experience like this before. Do you want to sell this stuff or are you just jackin' everybody around. I told you three times I wanted the chassis, and still no answer.
