well i got the carbs cleaned and put them back on. air screws 2.5 turns out and it runs alot better now. it will also start with the kickstarter now. it will idle only if the choke is on. how can i fix this? thanks guys

By the same problem, do you mean the exact same problem?

Hey can someone post a pic of this 'choke crossover tube'...i dont seem to recall anything like it..

Ahh i noticed something just now as i was lookin at an illustration in a pdf i found of how to install a dynojet jet kit in a banshee. Do stock banshee carbs have main jet cups? I assume so since it states in the illustration "Main jet cup must be re-installed." by main jet cup it means the plastic piece the surrounds the main jet. whats up with that? could this be my problem?

okay well. took the carbs apart. 260 mains 27.5 pilots, aint looked at the needles. im right around 3000ft. also, after the bike is warmed up it will start with the kickstarter as long as i give it some gas but when its cold it wont. i have to keep the revs up all the time or it will die.

Its real cold out. Cant really ride it. So i took the carbs off...gonna give them a good run down and make sure everything is nice and clean in there...also gonna check to see what size jets it has in em.

Going to go down in the garage and check em. I'll be back with an update shortly...also gonna pull the carbs and see what jets im working with.

Bump...i have the same problem with my new 03. help us out guys lol

Okay so I picked up a 2003 banshee with full fmf sst exhaust, v force 3 cages, carbon fiber reeds, larger than stock carbs(not too sure on the size, cuz i am the 3rd owner), and a bud light graphics kit for 2000 bucks. I have a bit of a problem and im kind of new to banshees and all. The thing is an absolute b**** to start with the kick starter and most of the times it wont start. but it will start up if i drift start it. It will shut off on me if i dont keep the revs up. it wont idle either..but it runs great on top end. if i can get the thing bump started and feather the gas untill it revs up and keep the revs up and take off it absolutely flys. but if im coming down the road and let off the gas and pull in the clutch it will die. what seems to be the problem? all help is greatly appreciated. and i love my new banshee lol i couldnt be more happy buyin something that doesnt run right than i am now lol Thanks Guys.
