Alright guys ill start from the begining..I blew up my banshee and put a rod through the case at the begining of the summer..I finally got all my new parts last week and put it back together..before i tried to start it gas was leakin out of the overflows on both carbs>I soaked the floats in carb clean and that solved that problum..Kicked it over a couple of times and it started right up..everything sounded fine then after about a minute of runnin it died..Now it wont even fire and every now and then it makes a wierd poof almost like a back fire but not as loud..Im new to the world of Banshees and 2-strokes so if its something simple take it easy on me..

 

Thanks alot

see if you have spark, start there. then move to fuel if you do. MAke sure all you elec connections are good and tight, key and run swtich are on. If it all goes good see what your compression is. Then let us know

i think ls1 inferno means the timing may be off like the keyway broke maybe , did you replace reeds, sounds like that could be a problem, and check the gap between the pickup coil and the flywheel

Start with the simple stuff; air, fuel, compression and spark (at the right time). You've got spark, were the plugs wet with fuel after kicking it over? Did you try it with the choke on and off? (go ahead and laugh I've done it haha) Is the air filter clean? Definitely check the compression if you're sure the air filter is clean and the intake tract is clear, and there's at least some evidence of fuel getting to the plugs...and it won't fire with fresh plugs.

 

On a side note, usually when fuel just pours out the overflows it means the floats are stuck open, usually you can just tap on the bowls with the end of a large-ish screwdriver handle and they will close. If you were trying to start it while they were overflowing you coulda got a buncha fuel in the cases (flooded)...so you might need to hold the throttle wide open and kick it over like 10,000 times...pulling the plugs while you kick will help, make sure the ignition is "off". Good luck.
