I’ve had a 2008 Banshee for a couple years now. Practically stock except for pipes and exhaust. Ran great for one whole season with no issues and then it’s started dying on me after it heated up (like it had flooded). It would restart but run like shit after.
I took it to Yamaha dealer. Was told my compression was bad (I think 90 & 100) and said my carbs needed adjusting. So I did a top end rebuild on it. Now compression is better (120 - aftermarket cylinders - I now I should have just machined my factory ones - Wiseco pistons and rings factory spec).
My left side just wont run right!! Poor response, sputters and gas coming out the overflow tube. Like it’s running too rich. I’ve rebuilt my carbs 4 times (twice with new kits) have checked my float height and set to 22mm. Jets are all factory stock spec. I started thinking it may be an electrical problem so then I started there. New ignition coil, new wires, caps and plugs (gapped to spec). I tested my stator and the pickup coil was out of spec. Ordered a Yamaha one. No change in performance. Tested all components of the TORS system and unplugged and ran it... no change still gas out of the overflow tube. Spark is good. Right side runs like a dream. Carbs slides are synced (I don’t have the airflow meter but that can’t be that big of an issue as they idle both the same). Starts great and idles great. Choke was cleaned and functions well.
Have a aftermarket K&N and boots are good. Reeds are good, no cracks. Choke sync tube is new and good.
Im so lost and angry at this point. I feel like I’ve tried everything and I’m ready to give up.
Any help would be much appreciated.
