[Right carb only works with left choke on!]

Have you checked your compression ? Are the plugs ok ? If so where are your low speed needles at ?? Have you tried adjusting it ? If comp is good and the needles dont make a difference then it sounds like the carbs are probably still dirty what did you use to clean the carbs ?? and what pilot jets do you have in now as you had posted about the choke jet what ended up being the outcome of that issue ?

 

compression is 130/132, new plugs 2 different sets, needles are in the middle clip, a/r screws made little difference, solvent to soak in and carb choke cleaner sprayed thru the passages, 30 pilots....switched bowl on right carb to a right carb bowl musta gotten it mixed up last time i cleaned them with another set of carbs i was robbing parts from ...heading out to clean the right carb better and spray through the passage agian and make sure the pilot is clean. just gotta go get another can of carb cleaner...i will post how everything turns out afterwards. i've been slowly bringing this shee back to life encountering every known problem along the way. much thanks to all the ppl here at banshee HQ for helping figure out all the problems. Y'all are by far the best ppl in banshee land! thanks again.

[Right carb only works with left choke on!]

why would the right carb only work when the choke is on, on the left carb? what would cause this and what could be the possible solution?stock carbs

[what the hell is the jet called that's in the bowl itself?]

the jet is in both bowls? i'll look and see if one of the other bowls i have dont have a spot for a jet

[what the hell is the jet called that's in the bowl itself?]

so it's ONLY found on the left carb? i was cleaning the carbs lastnight and there wasn't a air jet in the bowl...just an open passage so i put one in and am about to go try it out...the bike wouldn't idle at all, had to have it 1/4 open to start and smoked alot so i was giving them a good cleaning when i found the bowl was missing the jet.

[what the hell is the jet called that's in the bowl itself?]

must be the air jet i'm guessing. and you say it gives air to the pilot jet?

[what the hell is the jet called that's in the bowl itself?]

my bad it's a stock carb

[what the hell is the jet called that's in the bowl itself?]

what is the small jet located in the float bowl? not the pilot or main! they are both in the main body this is screwed into a vertical passage in the bowl. what's it called and what's it purpose and function?

[Spark problem]

problem solved! good checking stator but only giving intermitent power........fuckin canadians!!! put old stock stator on and wala fires first kick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spark problem]

i've went thru all the wiring and ohm testing once again everything is checking out...no key switch anymore red/black from the cdi is grounded out to the frame....as well as i made a new ground wire for the coil and it is grounded out to the frame with the rest of the grounds. is there an ohm requirement for the orange to coil from cdi wire? i'm going out to pull the flywheel, i marked the shaft nut and flywheel as to see if it sheered the key and it's not moved but it acts like the inside magnet is broken or something. even though it's new i noticed the guy who changed it used an impact to put the nut on.

[Spark problem]

i had that idea as well so i scotchbrited them not that they were rusty but just to clean um to see if it made a difference and no difference.bangheadbangheadbanghead i just wish i could figure it out, i really dont want her to sell it cause of something stupid. i've done so much my brain hurts. even had my son wiggle and bend the wires as i was checking, hoping it's just a bad wire and everything checks out good. anyone ever had the connectors inside the quick connector loosen up and not make correct contact with the cdi? they look good but maybe not?!?

[Spark problem]

i've had it everywhere from .020 all the way down to where it's at now @ .010 and now is where the spark is the strongest looking super bright and blue when it decides to spark

[Spark problem]

pick up is set at .010 and no TORS...acts kinda like a sheared key but it's a new hardened key that when inspected looks new not chewed or anything....also flywheel is not like a maraca like my last one ...

[Spark problem]

occasional spark....only one plug wire will spark then it switches to another then nothing the both then just one again...wtf...any ideas? new good testing stator, pickup coil, coil and plug caps,new cdi, new flywheel...every wire and connector checks good in the harness front to back...wth could the problem be? every once in awhile it'll try to start but hasn't yet. wet but not to wet plugs so it's getting fuel. any ideas would be a great help and releif as the wife wants to sell my shee!

[Pic requests: Pics of your rear fender stickers]

Mud Machine!

[Banshee slow reving]

Weak spark could be from bad spark plug caps. Failing CDI could cause that...also are you sure the coil is good ?

 

Have you inspected the jets and all other carb parts ?

Carbs clean and jetted to 280 mains, coil is new from rm stator in canada with plug caps allready installed... i'll try a known good stock coil...hope the cdi isn't going out( i'll test with known good one) but if it is then i'll send it back it has a one yr warranty

[Banshee slow reving]

Werent you casting you own cylinders?

that shit doesn't happen overnight DICK! and has nothing todo with what i'm talkin about so Piss Off!

[Banshee slow reving]

once again here i am asking another question lol... bike fires right up will not idle on it's own and takes a second to rev...yesterday lost spark to right cylinder then to both now all i did was verify the circuit on the orange coil wire it was good so i pluged it back in and it ran but slow rev and kinda a bogging sound...weak spark i'm guessing cause the plugs are wet occasionaly it will run perfect and rap up at a touch of the throtle then back to slow rev???

[Who makes the best aftermarket cylinders?]

Re-inventing the wheel?

No just wanting to have a good quality replacement cylinder with as cast performance ports!

[What Exhaust Do You Run?]

you are missing a lot of pipes in your selection.

 

like shearer, CPI, R2, and snipers

sry just bored and thought i'd ask what everyone was running

[Who makes the best aftermarket cylinders?]

who makes the best replacement cylinders? I have the ability to reverse engineer , improve upon (Port wise) and cast said new product. with that being said, what are the improvements you would all like to see in the replacement cylinder area? nothing is to small or to large to change. i've heard on here that some of the companys have had problems in the past with anything from machining to poor casting quality so lets hear it!!!

[What Exhaust Do You Run?]

I personally run a DMC Alien Exhaust setup, it's brand new, shinny, throaty sounding (real deep tone with a nice ping to it sound) not sure on the performance as i have yet to find another banshee to run against in my area...still tuning but sounds awesome Not like a lil nitro RC car as some i've herd sound like.

[Air mixture screw adjustment]

found the problem...my cases didn't seal!!!!!

[Air mixture screw adjustment]

Are you at a high elevation? Like 2,000 ft plus? If so, the motor will need LESS fuel, meaning smaller jets.

 

Your plugs are wet, which means rich, put in some 270 jets and see if that helps. Keep the screw at 2.5 turns out. Then do a plug chop.

 

elevation is 738ft above sea level here UNCORRECTED....as to the rest will try in the am and thanks.

[Air mixture screw adjustment]

If your plug is "wet and washed" after WOT, your main jet is too rich. Running rich will cause that hesitation you are talking about. You can try a 270 main jet and see if that leans it out the right amount.

 

Are you running the stock air box? Do you have pipes? What elevation are you at?

 

yes stock airbox, yes they are dmc alien, i'm in ohio....also it dosen't want to idle but if you just touch the throttle it idles(less then 1/8 maybe a 1/16 if that)
