bamaboybv Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 My 87 banshee wont start it was running great until i cut it off now it wont start. I always leave my fuel on. No t.or.s gotta good spark it's the carb, the carb isl eaking out of the bowl's hose the bottom drain hose. what should i do? It's either the carb/float adjustment. I think it's both carbs. One guy who's real good said it's just flooded. so take the plugs out and kick it with throttle open. but idk? everyone just give me some ideas. Quote

If your carbs are leakin, id think its a float adjustment (but wouldnt affect starting). Dont leave your gas on tho man, oil gums up everything... Did you pull the plugs and let it sit for awhile? Or has this been happening consistently? Quote

Or has this been happening consistently? yea, I got it started after I pulled the plugs and let it sit, but it's reving so damn high. I changed from twist to thumb so that's probably just cable adjustment. Yea I'm gonna give her a good cleaning. I think she was flooded out. I only left the gas on for about a week and a half. But when she cranked she reved high and premix was coming out of a pinhole in my hyeader pipe and some came out the silencers. Ima get that pipe welded and clean her out good. Any advice???? Why would premix come out? She sounds bad need help asap, but i dont think my motor is toast. Quote

Oh yea no it doesnt happen consistently, I never noticed the pinhole on the weld that attaches the pipe to the pipe hangers. It ran fine, then I took the pipes off to polish em. And I put gasket seal around the o rings and attached the header/pipe to the exhaust port. Now instead of smudge coming from the o ring seal, I guess it found it's way to the pin hole up top. Is my bike just flooded really bad? And why's it flooded so much. Quote
