i dont know if it is to soon to say that fixed it. i put in fresh gas after i drained the tank and it seems to be running better. i cant really test it out in my neighborhood so im going to bring it north this weekend. ill keep you posted. thanks again.

thanks for the reply dude. you explained everything great. im going to see if i can get the tank drained this week. it was sitting with premix in there for a couple weeks. im wondering if that is the problem. otherwise i can go from there. there is still the stock lid and snorkel on the airbox. and i looked the other day and it doesnt look like any airleaks around the boots. thanks.

i have a completly stock banshee. its starting to get cold here and my banshee started running like poo. its fowling out one side which is the right. do i need to make any adjustments on the carb to lean it out or what. i guess im confused on what to start checking. at an idle if you thumb the throttle it loads up and pops. or i was riding on trails the other day got into about 3rd or 4th and let off and it wants to quit or bogs down hard. any suggestions?

i run premium 32:1 klotz benol. diddnt see airleaks around the boots to the carbs

completely stock 2000 banshee. its acting like its fowling out a plug on the right side. just put new plugs in it runs somewhat but will backfire like its loading up. carbs are in sync and clean.....im new to this and dont really know what else to look for

i will definately follow. i need to finish fixing up my house as well and sell. im going to try and get transfered to gordon food service in ocala. i have been thinking about it alot lately. get the hell out of michigan!

i agree too. just like 22s on an s10. if done right they look good. but no way id spend that much money on wheels. 20s are the biggest id ever go. have fun driving around on michigan roads with some 22" billets!

yeah i see what your saying. started out just me and my buddy working on trucks down at his shop. now we have both kind of gotten away from it. im stuck with a truck in pieces that needs to be put back together. i dont even care about it like i used to. ive gone to indy for the past 4 years i think but thats cancelled now. I think i may be going to camp n drag which i think is replacing indy and that is next month. hopefully i can sell the red truck by the end of summer.

your truck is badass! did you sell it? i want to get my white one atleast rolling and running. i built the truck so far but came across a deal on the orange one so i bought that and drove it until i sold it. now a few years later i just bought the red one a few weeks ago. the edc was seized up on it and the guy i bought it from didnt know what to do. got it cheap and now im somewhat ready to resell.

haha i just wanted to let everyone know how much fun i had. can see how it is addicting. as far as signing my checks over to the parts guys. WISH I COULD! used to be able to blow money. hard paying for a house and hobbies on single income. oh and awesome truck dude. heres a few pictures of the trucks ive owned/own. i have the red one and piece of sh*t white one still. didnt build the blue/orange one or the red one. im going to put the red one up for sale very soon hopefully make some money i got it cheap.

so ive had my banshee for a year now. riding mostly trails. ive always been really into mini trucks and not really riding. i went up to silver lake yesterday and i think im hooked. haha my banshee is completely stock and ive had a few problems with it running like shit but now it runs great! i was racing a few people and just having a blast. so now i need to sell all my truck bullshit and start buying shit for the banshee. just wanted to let everyone know i had a blast yesterday.

quick question. what is a good psi for compression on both cylinders? both were at 115 psi. it is completely stock. never been rebuilt or anything. now i started it up today and was watching closely. starts off running fine then it starts to bog or miss??? and pop when you give it gas on the right side. still think it has to do with coolant getting into the gas? today the exhaust were both blue. haha i hate to sound like a dumba$$. i just have no idea. would it have anything to do with the coil? i was told that could be it too.

thanks for all the replies im going to see if i can do some work on it in the next couple days. and see what happens. its not that im scared to work on it. im somewhat mechanically inclined. i just dont know enough about 2 strokes to troubleshoot.

ok first the carbs were cleaned this winter. now i put new plugs in today and started it up. giving it gas a little. its blowing exhaust out both pipes again but the left side is blowing blue smoke and the right is white. and also the right side keeps like backfiring like it will all the sudden pop its not blowing exhaust like the other side. what does that mean?

got my banshee out today after having problems this winter. started it up. runs fine, exhaust coming out both pipes. right side starts to die down and barely puffing any smoke. take it down the street and it wants to hesitate and bog. i think i made a mistake on buying this because i really dont know enough about them to troubleshoot. can anyone help me? anyone around grand rapids mi want to come take a look?
