i got a 01 banshee for 480 bucks.
it was sitting on the side of the road out front of some guys house. He told me that the motor needed to be rebuilt, and that the motor had a mild seize and very low compression on the right cylinder, he told me that it had also sat for about 2 years and that he drained the gas out of it.
the quad looks in pretty good shape with some fading, but not to beat up, so i tried doing a compression test, the motor stuck 1 or 2 times but turned over, the left cylinder read about 90psi and the right cylinder didnt even make the gauge jump, it had no compression, wich at the time amased me.
So, anyways i ripped it down and got the motor out. i pulled the head off to find only one piston in the left cylinder. and the right was gone aong with 95 % of the rod. Witch ment that the motor was previously taken apart.
to sum things up i tore the motr down to nothing and replaced the crank, and pistons and rebuilt with .20 over wisecos. i put it back together and i have fuel, spark, and about 125 psi of compression in each cylinder. But when i kick it over all i get is a few pings of the right cylinder and it wont run.
i cant figure it out? any ideas?
