hey man im pretty new to this site and the banshee, but i had this same problem with my banshee, it would only start with a prime through the plugs and wouldn't idle after i let off the gas, and the choke tube that connects both carbs were missing, i replaced it and adjusted the idle screw and she fired up and ran perfect,, but mine never had the same spark issue as yours,,, hope you get her runnin right dude,, best of luck!!

no offence or anything but if u read my other thread you would of read that i had her runnin perfect,,, and i did wat the other guys said and unpluged the parking brake and she runs perfect now so thanks guys!!

hey guys my banshee starts and idles like a dream but soon as i press the throttle it boggs but soon as i let off the gas it idles perfect again??

i just did another compression test with my buddys tester and she read 120 so thats awesome ,, and i turned the screws on top of the tors in 1 n a half turns and shes workin perfect now,, so im goin for a rip rite now,, haha

the next size up from 64mm would be 64.25. right?

I'm gonna get another compresssion tester just to make sure before i do that but if i give her a fresh bore n hone i would have to get bigger pistons rite? and wat size are the cylinders of a stock banshee?

wat should the compression be i checked it and its a little over 90 on each side, and i was talkin to the guy i got it off he said he was playin with the needles, and the bike wont start unless i prime it, then it will only stay going if i play wit the choke and throttle, but if i start it and jump on and go it will stay going as long as im on the gas but soon as i let go of the gas it craps out on me

' ok but the guy i bought the banshee off said it had low compression and instead of changing the rings and fixing the problem he said he fucked with the carbs so the bike would run with the low compression,, but i changed the rings rite after i bought it so do you think that the carbs are my problem??

ok thats wat i thought it was,, y do you have to remove it,, wat does it do to the bike,, and do you think that the carbs are my problem?? the guy i got the banshee off said he was fuckin around wit the carbs so it would run with the low compression,, but i changed the rings now so she got good compression,,

ok i was just talking to the guy i bought it off and he said he had the carbs ajusted for the low compresion the banshee had before i changed the rings so would that be the trouble with mine and i seen that on another forum same problems and they said to adjust the carbs up and she should work perfect.

ok you might think im stupid for askin this but wat the hell is the TORS system,, i am completly new to the banshee i only bought it about a month ago,, and i had the carbs apart sepratly so didnt get nothin mixed up,and i will look for air leaks,,and im going to a compression test on her what compression should i get??

the banshee is completly stock, only thing i did to it was change rings, it has strong spark, i had the carb s apart and they were clean, the only way i can get her started is by priming it through the tube that connects the carbs but she wont idle,,

hey every one im new to this site and new to banshee's i just picked up a 2003 banshee that needed the rings done,, i did them and the banshee will only start if i prime it but it doesnt idle,, if i prime it and jump on and go it will work fine but when i let go of the gas it dies out and i have to prime it to start it again,,, what do I do???? please help me get my banshee up and runnin good ,, thanks!!
