AKheathen Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 My banshee is popping and sputtering at high R.P.M's Good fuel, Good spark. check your compression and jetting. look for an airleak. what do your plugs look like? what mods do you have? temp/ elevation? what throttle range?

Sounds to me it's lean or running out of fuel, Jmo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeseat$$ Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 If it isn't an above mentioned issue,and your compression is high try shortining the gap on the spark plugs to 23 thousandths and see if it runs corectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodbanshee Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 My banshee is popping and sputtering at high R.P.M's Good fuel, Good spark. I had the same problem on my 03 shee. My sparkplug caps went bad. It ran fine @lower RPM's but from 1/2 to WOT it ran like crap. I replaced my stock plug caps with some NGK sparkplug caps and shee ran like new.

rubberneck Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 My banshee is popping and sputtering at high R.P.M's Good fuel, Good spark. What kind of stator do you have in the bike? I had a shitty rickystator that did the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachass9 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Ditto on the bad spark plug caps!! Spent well over $1000 searching for the problem and when all said and done, it was the spark plug caps!! Bike ran fine except at high rpm and then it sputtered backfired and carried on!! Good luck!!

dajogejr Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 You guys are right on the ball. It's lean, bad electrical (weak spark) or bad plug caps, or...check your reeds for chips/burnt corner petals. I kinda doubt it's the reeds...but, something to check once you rule out air leak and ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, a bad ricky stator will cause it to lean pop and act stupid, Also check and see if the flywheel is cracked.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixmastermerrill Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 My bike has fmf gnarly pipes, Boyson reeds that I checked and good. The carburetors are tuned to 0 degrees F. Ice racing in Alaska. Open aluminium air box with duel filters. It has a adjustable timeng plate at 4 degrees advance with rickey stator. I just checked the stator and some water must have got in through the wire grommet. Cleaned and re installed, did nothing. The plugs seem to be burning properly, but I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 ey, where u ice race in ak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 ngk caps are for the stock wires. just stop by an atv/sno-go shop, they should be behind the counter. i know you said it's jetted for 0, but what jets are in there? should be 30's on the pilot and 310-340 on the mains. diff needle too, though the stockker will work. what's your 20?
