Thank you yes I have ordered a leakdown test kit and I got a TUSK compression tester from ROCKY MOUNTAIN ATV ordered it as well but thank you I will head back here to be honest when i do the tests also Tedder how would I make sure the pilot jets and “circuit” is open? What should I do , I cleaned the pilot jets out definitely thoroughly and the choke tube is in place but what should I try ? Thank you guys for your help

Oh wow thank you yes I live right near an AutoZone down the street , im in So Cal but what do i specifically ask ? Do they sell compression test kits for specifically banshees or is this a universal thing ? thanks

Also is a 89 banshee starting first kick and being a “unicorn” a good thing ? 😅 im guessing you are saying it’s rare so that kind of makes me happy , but right now I just feel like I made a shit deal lol but that’s all up to these tests im going to do….

When I got it it came with the Vforce 4 reeds it ran perfect before I rode it once or twice , but all within a week it stopped working I don’t want to let it sit I would ride it down the street if I can but I got the leak down test kit it’s coming in and I got a sync tool and I got a compression tester gauge from O Reilly but anyone recommend a adapter hose ? Feels like this is a stupid question but I want to do everything right..

What would it mean if it started first kick everytime then one day literally like 72 hours later it just stops. i found out the gas tank was clogged with debris and so i cleaned it out (75 percent sure pretty good) and put a new OEM petcock in it , why would a banshee that starts literally first kick even if you think im lying just randomly not start ever you can hear it wants to , can something drastically lower the compression in each cylinder over a couple day time period ? a few people said it is a “fuel delivery issue “ but im not sure what that could consist of , I cleaned and rebuilt the carbs and blew out every hole I could see and I know I did it well the only thing I might need some guidance on is the float height I won’t lie im battling trying to find time to keep working on this thing , but I fcking love this quad so im not giving up , but I will do a compression test and leak down test but say these are good what else would be the problem ?? thank you for your response 🤝

Hello anyone who sees this I have made a post about my banshee starting first kick everytime and it’s a long story but it stopped starting after like 3 days of not starting it I have cleaned out and rebuilt the carbs I have a 1989 banshee and TORS delete done , I have oem mikuni carbs , changed to brand new ngk caps and ngk iridium spark plugs and oem ignition coil , I have vforce 4 reeds and was going to check if the reed petals needs replacements running 40:1 gas , rocking K&N filter with filter wrap and air box with no lid changed out the fuel petcock as well and cleaned out the gas tank semi best as I can because it was clogged with sand and debris and gunked up was going to switch the throttle cable because one side of the screw on the cap was broken….. got brand new motion pro tors eliminator cable and caps and spring and screws… and new ventilation hose as well… but yes going to replace the idle screws , throttle cable , caps , sync screws , needle , spring as well , maybe did a lot of extra stuff but still wanted to upgrade this thing anyways… main thing is that it doesn’t start nor idle and only starts when I throw mixed gas through the back of the carbs , but man ive been banging my head around trying to figure this out but man i really need help i want this to start really bad and i definitely am not no mechanic but i am trying to do things myself and yes so if anyone knows anything that could help that would be very much appreciated….. thank you so much to anyone…..

Hey Jerz thank you for the response as well , yes I know about the bowls being switched , the slides being mixed up , and the BB like thing for the choke circuit , the choke tube in between the carbs , I watched out for all that and made sure I didn’t make any of those mistakes , no fuel lines or petcock clogged or anything cleaned all that I also know about how to sync the carbs using a few different methods including the one you have recommended to me as well , but I wanted to use the sync tool that’s why I wanted to get it started because it should still start even before I start to sync it , also im not running TORS I got the eliminator cable coming in but someone else already did the elimination kit to this one when I bought it but yes even if I have watched out for all that and went over to double check as well and still only starts if I throw gas through the back what else could it be ?? broken reed petals ? faulty ignition wiring ? (not coil or plugs at all) im going to double check on the slides and the slack of the wire but still need to find out the specific complication of this thing thank you in advance

Thank you so much and yes I heard that if shooting gas through the back of the carbs means it can be a “fuel delivery” issue , but sorry if this is stupid but what does that actually mean and consist of ? is something clogged or blocked ? Im running 40:1 and I cleaned out the gas tank because it had a bunch of debris and sand in there , possibly from glamis , got most of it out and put in a new OEM fuel petcock , flushed out the fuel lines with carb cleaner and compressed air and of course as said I cleaned and rebuilt the carbs so what else should I be looking out for and test for ? I got a new motion pro eliminator throttle cable because one side was broken on the bottom screws and got a sync tool as well and was going to check if the reeds were broken as well if they needed replacements because I want this thing to start so bad…. But main point is what would be the kind of issues for fuel delivery ? thank you

Hello I’ve always went on here to find answers to my problems and now I wanted to find an answer to a specific problem because I’m not sure what this is and I’ve been banging my head around to find out ive changed out the spark plugs , ignition coil , cleaned and rebuilt the carbs , didn’t rejet it sync or tune anything yet but it should still start I believe , used to start first kick everytime no effort to be honest , then I stopped starting it for a couple days and then it just poof stopped starting wont start at all even with choke on or off , but I believe , like the last 3-4 times I tried , if you throw gas through the back of the carbs it’ll start right up nice but not idle , Im just not sure what to do anymore specially cuz im not a mechanic by any means im just good at following directions. i know i cleaned and rebuilt the carbs good and im thinking might be faulty ignition wiring OR the throttle cable and the little sync screw on the TORS delete caps , i want to do a compression check but the thing is there should be compression because one day it starts up first kick like nothing , idles , runs and literally not even a full 48-72 hours and it stops turning on im banging my head around trying to figure this out I need to lol i want to find the power of this thing and use it , I got it like 2-3 months ago not sure if it’s stock or not but it looks badass and rode it like twice because summer hasn’t been nice lately but yeah hope someone sees this.. Thanks
