Not sure how to do a leak down check.....but i'll pull the stator cover tonite...

thats what i was afraid of...nothing like having a bike for 30 mins and blowin it up..

So my son just traded his 250r for a 99 banshee today...rode it around a field for a bit and it ran good...wouldnt idle very well but started right up just had to give it some gas to keep it running. So my son took it down to the woods to ride it for a few after the guy left and 5 mins later he was calling me to come get him. Bike bogged down and stalled, and now the kickstart wont move. I drained the fluids and pulled the side cover. Everything looks fine in there from what i can tell. Pulled the plugs and they were dark but didnt look too bad. Need help on what to do next. Im laid off and my son is bummed but i dont have money to take it anywhere, going to have to do it ourselves. Where should i start, i have automotive experience but not atv's...

i'll try that, slides are the same and i made sure i had spark but now i'm getting alittle oil out from between the block and exhaust on the dead side and there is some oil in the tailpipe.

Runs better but only getting smoke out of one tailpipe.

Thanks guys i'll try that in the morning.

Bought a 87 shee a month or so ago, ran great. last weekend i took it riding and it was breaking up some up top. Now i took it out and i have no bottom end. Takes forever to rev and once it does it sounds like youre going fast but not nearly as fast as it should be. Motor was rebuilt in 06 and has about 10 hrs on it. It took the plastics off and seen is there supposed to be a shaft or something that goes between the two carbs where the choke is? looks like a hole in each carb between them? Also it looks like i have a little oil in one of the tailpipes? any help would be greatly appreciated, its my first quad that ive had to do anything too.

Dang thats one sweet ride. I love the 4eyed cars, i've had 20 or so 79-86 stangs thru the years but none as badass as that.
