got her started. Went through carbs again, trimmed back wire and put on new plug caps. did 2 slow kicks to prime and pulled choke and she fired. didnt have time to tune it or run it so i will have more of an update this weekend. appreciate the help guys, thank you

whats up ironmike, i live in woodbridge. bowls are on the correct carbs, bb on choke side, slide cutouts are towards the filter, choke tube is in place, has fresh 93gas 32/1 at 3/4tank, pilot is clean, float height set, carbs are synced but as im writing this i realized i synced them with the idle screw in, i will screw them out and let slides drop all the way down and re sync. i will trim back wire and put new boots when they get in, also clean up contact on stator. like i said a shot of starting fluid and started right up, i will be going over and rechecking everything tomorrow. if you guys have anything else that u think i should check let me know. Thanks

alright fellas, i found that the problem is fuel related. I sprayed starting fluid into the carbs and it fired right up and died as soon as it burned. The carbs have been cleaned many times. I have them sitting here in front of me now to go through them once again. Fuel is getting to both of the bowls. Mains and pilots are new and clean. Float height is set to 21mm no gasket. What could be causing the fuel to not make it to the cylinders, vforce3 reeds check out fine visually. Any suggestions?

like they said, looks like you need to rotate the hanger forward

Gotcha, thank you. I just ordered flywheel puller just to have and check things out and some new plug caps since they are cheap. I will be checking all this in a few days when parts come in. Since there is weak spark on both sides visually, can that eliminate either the stator and/or cdi or could they still be culprits? Like I said im not learned on electronics yet, but when i do this work im gonna have my friend bring his ohmeter and help check some of this stuff

Thanks, i will try and figure out how to check the pick up coil gap, i really dont know much when it comes to electrical. And the caps do look pretty nasty inside as well. Do these fail often, curious because it did start up easy the first few runs. Carb crossover tube is in place, Bowls are on the proper carbs, float needles should be free..messed with them the other day.

just joined this site, first time posting in a forum. heres the deal, i picked up an 01 banshee. Low compression so I decided to put in a fresh top end. Bored .80 w weisco. It has procircuit exhaust, vforce3 reeds, boost bottle, stock box with k&n w no top, stock carbs w tors eliminated and idle screws. before start up on new top end i check the jets, they were stock main 200, 25 pilot. Changed main to 310, 27.5 pilot here in va at sealevel. Bike fired up 2nd kick and seemed super rich w smoke and up down up down idle and generally choppy until 3/4 throttle. Drove it several times up and down the street, and the left cylinder sounded as it was bogging or cutting out. Came to a stop and it cut out completely i believe from being so rich and would not start even after a few days. Come to find out the guy i bought from had the slides in backwards. I switched them and the bike still wont fire. Heres what ive done since, new plugs, checked spark..its there on both but seems maybe weak, gas is getting to carbs and they are clean, carbs are synced by eye, cross over tube is in place, compression is 145 on each cylinder, reeds are good, fresh gas 32/1. Still won't start, any suggestions?
