I started in crocs initially and that was a bad idea. Then switched to work boots, but my foot was already pissed by then. My bike only has around130 psi compression right now. I was checking compression when the foot problem started.

My bike came with what I think is a modquad billet kick starter. I have never had a banshee, so i don't really know what to expect, but kicking this thing is tearing up the arch of my foot. My right foot has had 3 broken bones in it, and is pretty sensitive to stuff. The kick start mechanism feels awkward to me. The motorcycles that I have experience with are much easer to kick. My bike doesn't have heel guards installed right now, just stock style foot pegs. I have size 13 feet, I feel like i have to kind of guide my feet down through the small gap when I kick it, and my calf is always banging the fender. I guess its part of putting a motorcycle engine on a quad. I ordered a stock style kick start assembly and it is supposed to arrive this week. I may have to fab something up that has a little more surface area if the stock style one doesn't work out. The one i have looks like this. Anyone have any suggestions or insight, other than not being a puss?

I tried this and the float seals up just fine with just the spring pressure on the needle tip, but screw the bowl on and it leaks. I tried swapping things from left to right, and nothing seemed to work. Probably had it apart and together 20 times today. Took it back apart, polished the seat again, put a new seat o ring in. Still leaked. Drained it, and tapped the bowl with a ratchet while it filled and it stopped leaking...at least for now. I am really puzzled as to what is going on. I have never ran across this before and I fool with this stuff a lot.

I have a 2003 Banshee with the OEM Mikuni carbs. I cannot seem to get the right side carb to not overflow out of the overflow/drain on the bottom of the bowl. I have tried new needle, new seat, old used needle and seat, tried the q tip polish trick, new o rings on the seat, new float, different float height settings and nothing seems to help. I verified that the drain screw on the bottom is sealing. I've never had this problem before. The left side carb seals up just fine. Anyone ever see this or have any ideas? One thing I haven't tried is a new or different float bowl, I am going to try that tomorrow morning. I am about to get aggervated at this thing
