  1. I had the same problem with my shee & it was the aftermarket CDI box from RM stator. I installed stock CDI box & it's been running fine ever since. If I was you I would buy another known good used stock CDI box.

     

    hmm, i replaced the bad cap, and it still backfires, but VIOLENTLY!, it blew smoke through the airbox, and moved the 2 into 1 which was tightened down hardm almost off the cylinders! its pissing me off, do you think its a cdi? also if i get one, i noticed alba made a nice one with a switch on it to switch ignition maps.... anyways i dont want to waste money if it isnt it tho, any other ideas?

  2. my banshee is a 1993, with a stock coil, stator of unknown origin (may be stock), and a vitos cdi box. the TORS, parking brake, TORS box, and taillight have all been removed from it, so no issues there, i just took out both reed blocks, saw no cracks so i double checked the tightness, then cleaned both carbs perfectly, put a new choke tube on, and cleaned the air filter. the shee will now kick start and idle perfect, but when i try to rev it cuts out, backfires, and almost sounds like its running on one cylinder, but its hard to tell with a 2 into 1, hmmmm please help me out here guys

  4. i used an ohm meter to check the stator and using clymer's specs it was perfectly in tune, there are no specs out there for testing a banshee cdi however, and i have no buddys with extra cdi's. i pop started it, and it would idle like a champ, but would cut out and occasionaly backfire on rev up, any ideas? im thinking cdi or fuel

  5. thats funny the prechargers never heard that one when it backfires just about everone will say its in the electrical system stator,cdi, coil or a bad ground try and swaping parts with a buddy

    my stator is waterproofed, i didnt hit any water, and the cdi is recent, idt anything should have gone, unfortunatly i dont have a buddy to swap with that has a banshee

  6. i did a cases up rebuild on the banshee and its been together for a month with no problems, and then i was riding at a buddies and as i went to put it away it ran like shit, i shut it off, and after we got the hay in, i started it and it ran like it was out of time, it backfired, then wouldnt rev up, then shut off and wouldnt start. its got spark, gas, and compression, the timing plate and flywheel are tight, and its got tors removed, idk what it could be, please help

  7. i'm going to be doing a lot to these. not sure how it will work out but i want them to appear completely stock

     

    i always thought that would be fun to build a completely stock looking banshee but have it worked to hell, lol 4 mill with a port job, gutted pipes and silencers, bored carbs, ported reed cages with boyeson reeds, pro design pro flow filter with modiffied air box, decked head, timing plate lmao you could make a kick ass banshee that looked totally stock :evil:

  8. cut some stockers apart for a project coming up kinda supprised what i found no wonder they are so heavy there is perforated steel form fitted and then insulation about 1/4 inch thick between the pipe and the perf. all the enlarged sections have this in them.. kinda crazy. bet once its all gone they will weigh a lot less and probably have a lil pingy to them..

    I seem to remember there being a thread about this a while ago and they dynoed the stockers that had been cut open and had the stuff removed against FMF's and the stockers only made 2hp less as i remember... theres power to be made out of stockers you just have to work at it lmao, i have a 2 into 1 that i got for pretty much nothing, but if i want to switch to duals ill cut my stockers, strip them, and buy some DG type II silencers (ive always liked the look of them) to elimintae the restrictive stock baseball bats lol, goodluck and lmk how it goes :headbang:

  9. No,No...there is one last chapter in this series. :lol:

    See this is about the time when the rookies post the following...

     

    Ok guys, I tried all your ideas and thanks to "Veteran member who this same thing happend to years ago" It's running great. Thanks dude for all your help. But I found a guy with a BMX bike and I'm trading for it. I think a BMX bike will work better for the kind of riding I do. Plus I'm tired of always having to work on my 10 speed. Here is the link for the bike on Ebay.....do you think I'm getting a good deal?

    that isnt a bad bike though i have a few old school bmx bikes lol :headbang:

  10. Ok, before you start reading my post i am not trying to be a dick or anything like that just trying help and elinminate some possiblities, just creating a little check list. I am assuming these are the carbs that came off the motor you just redid. If so did the other motor run with these carbs cause if thats the case i don't see the carbs being the problem i see it being somewhere else. Since you have double checked if not triple checked everything on the carbs and if the carbs be the problem i'm guessing the carbs are just junk and you need some new ones. i did not notice if you posted a sucsessful leakdown test and what the compresion is for both sides. i did notice you said it had alot more compresion now than before and i was thinkin maybe you have one good compresion cylinder and maybe the other one not so good maybe a missing a ring or something like that. Has the cylinders been bored maybe the wrong piston size i have seen that before cause a problem like this. real hard to start if it even started at all and soon as the right pistons went in it ran like a dream. i've been in situations like this before with my banshee they suck and just trying help another banshee guy out. Maybe if you got a buddy you could borrow there carbs for a quick test to see if its a carb issue.

     

    The guy who said the 1-1 bowl belongs on the choke side was wrong, i switched my bowls and it fires up first kick cold and hauls some serious ass, thank you everyone for your help :headbang:
