The only mod I can tell is the K&N cone filter which I cleaned and oiled tonight. I live in Waterloo, Iowa. Average summer temp is around say 78 right now. When I look down the neck of the carbs the spacing under the plates looks close. And yes ethynol is huge around here! I was thinking of dumping the gas and starting from scratch if I knew the mixture rate. I checked and the balance tube is there and appears to be no cracks and/or leaks.

Hello guys. This is my first post and I'll be honest here, I don't own a banshee or a four wheeler for that fact, I'm a motorcycle guy. However I have a friend's boy who got a banshee(93 I think) for cheap and he wants to ride it like no other but it starts/runs like crap. I finally got it to start after taking the K&N filter off and holding the chock on (it won't stay in place....Problem #1). In order for me to get it to start I had to hold the choke open with some lock pliers and as I kick start it I also have to give it gas. Once it starts I have to hold the throttle open to keep it running. Once I get going down the road it runs fine, but if I load it down aka my 240lbs fat butt up a hill it wants to bog and die. It seems fine at higher RPMs. Just sucks to start and keep running. After running it for awhile the right side exhaust had a sputter to it. Plugs are fairly new and I cleaned them off also. I also need the oil/gas ratio as they have now idea and couldn't tell me what was in it other than it was a tank from the previous owner(not that old of gas) This is a good kid who deserves this toy and they don't have much money, that's why I'm involved here. any help would be great! Point me in the right direction of the adjustment it may need!
