I'm new to owning a banshee or even quads. my first one. was given a 2000 banshee, was told it won't start. get it home, get carbs off cleaned up, ended up having to do a Tors delete kit, New reed cage gaskets. took a couple kicks then fired up, shut it off cuz it was leaking gas, got that fixed went to start it again and wouldn't fire, pulled plugs cleaned up and couple kicks it fires up again.. every time shut it off it takes a quite a few kicks and cleaning spark plugs to fire again.. last time had it running for a couple mins and noticed left side side exhaust( looking from back of quad) is hot and the right side is ice cold. did spark test and both seem to be sparking just fine, but went ahead and bought new spark plugs just in case.. but still having same issue. a friend that has been helping me with it says I may have a dead cylinder haven't done a compression test yet, will be doing that this weekend. just out of curiosity is there anything else that would cause this problem without it being a dead cylinder issue.. and also will a regular compression tester work on quads.. as I said to new to whole thi ng any advice is greatly appreciated!!
