alright so im working on my buddys banshee after the local shop wanted 400 bones to clean his carbs to get his bike running. First thing that i did was check to see if i was getting spark, put both plugs against the head bolts and started kicking. I didnt see anything, then i figured if i hold the plug on it ill either get a zap or ill see it spark, well yet again nothing on each side. So i then swapped out the coil with one off of a known good running banshee and checked for spark. I would only get spark every 5th kick or so and it didnt seem strong at all. So ive been reading the cylmer manual and working on the trouble shooting steps. Im now trouble shooting the stator, since thats what went bad on the last no spark issue i worked on. Now just for me to see i gave the bike a shot of carb cleaner in a cylinder and it took a bunch of kicking and finnaly it hit, but was idle WAY WAY WAY high, to the point i shut the bike off because it didnt seem anywhere close to being right, so then i read through some of the throttle troubleshooting. Through the inspection holes on the carbs they look to be in sync. Then i set the air screws, which where both at 2 turns out, so they were good. Im now looking into the torrs knobs which i havent messed with in a WHILE and it didnt explain what they should be set to in the book. Now this bike is a ALL STOCK 06 shee with maybe 20 hrs on it checked the compression and both cylinders where at 120. The only thing that is done was the airbox was just removed and a K&N cone filter was just installed. So if anybody has some input on the weak spark or the high idle, maybe the carbs are getting way too much fuel and the spark wont fire on all of that fuel ? And one last thing, has anybody here every ohmd out a coil? I swear that i read it step by step in the book and shot one of myne bad, but trouble shot the stator bad and the bike is running great with a coil that by the book ohmd bad. Anybody have some input on that?

i checked for air leaks around the reeds and the carb boots before we deployed. I did it by spraying carb cleaner around it and listening to the motor and it DID NOT rev up, tell me that there wasnt an air leak. now when we took the carbs apart to see what jets were in them the right carbs needle looked slightly bent. so when i get back ill be putting new needles in them and clean them very good and hopefully it will help it. anybody got some input on what mains, pilots, and clip position to start with. thanks guys

im about to get back to the states from a deployment and i will be tearing into my buddys banshee with him. i need some input on what to set the carbs to. the bike has fmf fattys on it, torrs elimination, a fresh top end ( did it right before we left), and we will be advancing the timing +4. the heads are stock, the reeds are stock, and the gearing if i remeber right is +2 in the back. right before we left we noticed that one of the cylinders is back firing during hard exceleration right after you shift. so we are also going to clean out the carbs and rebuild them. this bike is in NC but i dont know the exact elavation. thanks for any help guys.

Alright heres the scoop. My buddys 04 banshee has fmf fattys with the powercore 2s and hes got an exaust leak where the fatty goes to the cylinder. Now ive changed the exuast washers that are in the cylinder with new ones and ive also put new springs in it. You can see smoke come out and there was a little bit of oil coming out on the pipe. Now im stumped on what to do, hes been tossing up the idea of getting new pipes but hes already got a set on there,so its kinda pricey just to put a new set on for an exaust leak. Now the silencers have been bent a few times and we have heated them up and straightend them out so i dont know if the fatty got bent maybe? Any ideas ?
