Try adjusting your idle screws on the tors box
ok ill try
-
wow!!,i think you are talking about the air mix screw you can run it in or out to fine tune the air fuel mixture.from your post i think you might be in over your head.if you dont know how to to tune a carb. you can lean out your motor and have a meltdown.i sugest you find a friend with some experience to help you out.meanwhile search and study so you can do it yourself next time.
mechanics around my area are very high im not a cheap guy but its not like these things take a rocket scientist i have learned alot while rebuildin this shee so im pretty sure with a little help from you guys i can have it runnin with no problem ....the problems im having are minor it could be resolve with a few notes and tips and suggestions from others ....i have gotten this far might as well keep goin so far alot of information i have heard has helped me well and ive learned a few things dat a few beginners just dont know off hand but im eager to learn more so help me out

what is loose the bolt that holds the basket on and what do you mean by floppy check the clutch springs
the clutch springs are tight ....and the clutch is loose and floppy again (clutch= what you hold when you change gears) ......the bolt middle bolt inside the clutch case was sticking out a lil so i tightned it up an my handle clutch part got tight also ...but now it is loose again
-
the idle is the carbs check for air leaks, pilot screw, idle screw and make sure their clean
air leak - check
pilot screw- check
idle screw- check
(besides making sure there clean should i adjust anything?)
-
What is this labelle that you speak of?? Getting antsy to get my shee out and ride. Need some space to do some tuning on the new 4mil.
im near labelle

ITS BOUT TIME I FOUND SOME FLORIDA RIDERS

Might try to be more specific on what you are trying to do. I can think of about 7 ways to adjust/tune it.
what does the fillip strew driver part do adjust higher or lower idle and if i was to turn it in or out wat affect does it make ?
-
hey wats up HQ fam i have few questions about the clutch
1. When the clutch handle is floppy what has to be adjusted? (last time i told you i adjusted it and made it tight but what i did was tightned the strew(in the middle of clutch basket) when you open the clutch case a lil an i felt my clutch and it was tight so i just stopped there instead of doing what you told me with the rod and the ball. However, its now loose again and it idle very high when i kickstarted it ....
2. What do i have to do with the ball and rod the instructions were a little unclear ?
3. Can the clutch be the reason everytime i kickstart it idles high to the point that i have to turn it off?
Or does the carbs just need to be adjusted
-
ok i got my kickstart workin again pulled the choke an it fired up witha high idle so i had to turn it off
-
-
i am also havin trouble keeping it on because it refs up so high like im bout to blow my motor so i just turn it off i checked the gaslines the carbs are definitely gettin fuel

Having to roll start a banshee does not mean you need a rebuild,yes low compression is one issue that can cause it but by far is not the only one.
I have personaly seen all these issues cause hard starting on bikes with good top ends.
Dirty carbs/choke tube/dirty air filter/fouled plugs that still fire/bad grounds/weak stator/coil gap/spark plug cap/old gas/bad conecttion in the wiring/weak spark wich can be caused in 10 different places/poor jetting ect/wet air filter/over oiled air filter.
The very first thing i do when a banshee is hard to start,unless there is obviously a psi issue, is make sure the air filter isnt saturated,and try a fresh set of plugs even if the ones in it sill spark-and unplug the tors.
If your psi is over 110 in both cylinders and is within 5 psi of eachother i would be looking in other places for your problem.
Even without a psi test if the kick feels pretty solid i would try some new plugs.
thanks reynolds for the different point of view
-
check your jetting, mine did the same, my jetting was way out of wack
how do i check the jetting and know wats good and wats not (can you walk me through) ....

Kickstart wont work but push start will any suggestions??????
-
sounds like the whole problem is in ur kicker area.pull the clutch cover and see whats up with the kicker gear and parts in there,bushings,whatnot.check to make sure ur gears are good and meshing right from kicker gear to clutch basket gear to crank gear.while u have the cover off,replace water pump seal and make sure bearing is good.replace rubber o-ring on water neck tube that goes thru the case and get the paper gasket for the water pump cover.as for stator,its still good,match the colors and solder them back together and use heat shrink tubing when u do it.its been a while,but i believe there is the 4 for the plug and i wanna say the black and yellow stay seperate from the block plug,the are for lighting and should connect to the other black and yellow by rear brake reservoir to the other ones.hope this helps
Thanks appeciate the tips i manage to fix the leak an fix the wires got it to fire but still had to push start it what could i do to make it fire when i kick?

Ok guys, (BEFORE I TORE DOWN MY BANSHEE out of the blue when i started to kick my kickstart i could not get it to crank unless i pushstart and it rides perfect) i tore my whole banshee down and i just finished putting it back together yesterday. ..but when i went to kick couldnt get it to crank ....(spark plugs are go6od) ...i pull started it and it bogged down weird didnt crank i need help ..(ANOTHER PROBLEM--->) the hose from radiator to the jugs is leaking water...and water is leaking out of my water pump part tried sealing it with the gasket maker but it still leaks ....i wonder could it be the bearing that i put into the water pump not being pushed far enough causing it to leak or what ? but i am gonna buy the gasket that goes to the water pump because the one i have on there has a lil wear in two parts of it ....(ANOTHER PROBLEM --->) When i took my engine of my bike i put it on the porch for a few hours before i brought it into the house and the dog chewed on my wire coming from my stator to my wiring harness so i looked at the part that was chewed and it looks like i have 6 stator wires that are spliced to fit the four wires going into the harness plug up...so do i need to get a stator or wat?................Can someone please help me with this problem i need resolutions

a stock crank should be no more than .002 out of true,most i take out are around .003-.004,.Remember this is the heart of your motor is the crank any vibration there will harmonize through the whole motor.Another important thing to be checked is center bearing runout this is where most banshee crank noise will come from and not everyone pays attention to it.If your adding compression a weld is a must plus a tz or max load bearing should be added IMO.Remember if its out allready
do it once do it rite
Thanks man

What is a Trued and welded crank (pros and cons)

i have these carbs http://www.bansheedepot.com/proddetail.asp?prod=22%2D5730
-
Might be a liitle rich. Check your air/fuel screws on the carbs.
wouldnt it rev higher if it was the carbs ? im thinkin its a problem with my stator or something eletrical but im unfamiliar with how the stator works
