So I got it back together and unplugged the tors, still no luck. Still not getting spark. I checked for grounds and I only found one. It was good. The tors is unplugged now all the wiring seems to be solid and connected tightly. Can the vitos kill switch go bad? How can i test the ignition? Could the stator be bad as well? what are some other things that cause no spark and Ill check them. Thanks I checked it both ways but to be sure, which wire goes on which plug?

on a more recent inspection i found out that the tors is still connected. I did some research on this and this seems like it is the culprit. I found a thread on how to delete this and will do it tomorrow and let you guys know the results. Could the tors starting to malfunction cause the quad not to idle? About two weeks ago, it would idle then after riding it pretty hard one day it didn't want to start so i choked it and it started right up. from then on it never idled and it got worse and now this happened. Does this sound like a failing tors?

Im going to check over it again in better light. Do the ignitions go out frequently, mine looks oem. Also do stators ever go bad? like the title says its a 2001 and the stator and ignition look original. it has a aftermarket vitos kill switch as well, ill check that for any issues. thanks for all the help

just checked it, no spark. I ran through the wires and didn't see anything that stood out. I am going to go through it really closely and order a ignition. The tors box isn't hooked up so ill go through them then get back

ill go through the wiring wheres the coil at ill check it. is it the thing that the plug wires are coming from if your following them back up from the plugs themselves? it seemed like it was flooding out getting no spark when it shut off

lol yeah i made sure of all of that because i have done that before. I got it all apart, took the carb all apart, it looked pretty much brand new, I sprayed carb cleaner on everything in it anyways. I think its a spark thing honestly. The reeds looked fine, there were no cracks or anything but I have never taken a banshee apart so I'm not too sure what I'm looking for. The pistons looked fine along with the piston sleeves. I kicked it over slowly and everything seemed to by working correctly. It got stuck in gear randomly a couple days ago if that makes any difference. I think its a spark issue because when i gave it throttle when it would only idle it just sounded like it got flooded out. Im pretty sure it is either a head gasket or spark issue. But the main thing is I'm not a expert so what should I be looking for? Im about to pull the head and see what the head gasket looks like. Is there anything special when taking the head off or is it pretty much right there the bolts and water pump hoses? thanks for the help here is some pics if they help http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae74/clutchshift/cd56cec4.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae74/clutchshift/b4d0fbca.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae74/clutchshift/d687ca4c.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae74/clutchshift/b06dc98b.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae74/clutchshift/29cc514c.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae74/clutchshift/9aef0a93.jpg

Im not sure but I have a compression tester but i have a cool head and domes so the standard 14mm long reach won't fit. I was going to trade for a really nice mustang today but pretty much I'm screwed?

I was riding my quad around the yard and it was running fine. I then came to a stop and it died. I tried to kick it and it wouldn't start. I choked it and it started, before it died It was running fine then just shut off, it would start and barley idle then under any throttle would die and it won't start now at all. I put new plugs in it but i forgot which plug wire goes on which plug and I tried it both ways and it didn't start. I need help asap please if you need any other info or details about the quad ill let you know I'm not sure what you'd need to know about it. thanks

So I got it all pulled apart, seems as if my clutch was out of adjustment. That video was very helpful. I appreciate all the help! Cant wait to get riding again, Im just glad she is ready for the snow......

Alrighty I have all day tomorrow to pull the cover and check it out. Ill get pictures up too. I have my paycheck but with me being in school its not much so I want to make sure I have money to replace the correct part if needed. Thanks for the help

That video is very helpful. I noticed my clutch starts to get pressure when the two little arrows on the cable lever arm thing and crankcase are lined up when the "slack" is pulled. So when the lever is all the way out, the arrows don't line up. When you pull the lever there's about 3-4 inches of "free play" in the lever then right when the arrows line up, the clutch gets pressure and will pull. So my question is, to me it seems like the clutch is adjusted, the cable is stretched? Correct me if I'm wrong i got my fluidsdraindd ready to pull the cover, just watched the video and noticed that

How do you adjust it at the case? on the arm? Ill take a look at it i should get it but i adjusted it all the way tight at the lever and it didn't seem to help much.

I was riding around the yard today and after I was done riding, I noticed the clutch was really easy to pull in, it has about 1 inch of free travel before there is any kind of resistance. Also the clutch wasn't engaging. I was fine when i was riding it, even felt like it grabbed pretty good and didn't have any travel then. I am not sure I am pulling the clutch cover friday when I'm off school and ill get pictures up here. Also I know the cable isn't stretched because it pullies the little swing thing (sorry i don't know what things are called yet) on top of the transmission more forward stator side. I just changed the oil and put 1500 cm3 of DEX/MERC ford atf in it if that effected the clutch in any way. Any input would be appreciated thanks

This kid I know just got a 450 that he said was fully built, it looked confusing and not fully built but it has bolt ons. I've been trying to get him to run me for about a month now and he won't. When I do I'll get video, my bike is stock crank but fully ported and what not so we will see what happens

I've been wanting to ride here for a while but don't want to go by myself haha. Ill try to make it out sunday cause thats when Im off school and meet some new faces. I guess just look for a group of banshee riders? lol
