Keyser Soze Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 I rippin around my field a little bit today trying to get all the bugs out before a badlands trip....My banshee was running pretty good, seem to have a very slight backfire on the top end but was hardly noticeable. We decide to get a bite to eat. I park it and leave for an hour or so.....now the thing wont run. It is getting spark and fuel....the reeds are in good shape. We didn't check it but it feels like the compression is good..It will start but wont rev...bogs when you hit the gas. My friend was thinking timing but the flywheel seems really tight.. Quote
98_shee Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Do you have the parking brake removed? The tore's still on it? Quote
dragbanshee Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 I take it you have already pulled the carbs. Haven't mixed different oils have you? Quote
Keyser Soze Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 I take it you have already pulled the carbs. Haven't mixed different oils have you? Tors are removed. Parking break removed. I have pulled the carbs. Everything seems to be in order. I didnt take the bowls off and check the jets, but its getting plenty of fuel, I doubt they are clogged. Quote
Keyser Soze Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 Cross over tube is intact. Plugs look slightly lean but not lean enough to prevent it from running. Quote
bansheefreak Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 change the plugs see what happens Quote
Keyser Soze Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 Chanhed plugs still no luck Quote

I didnt take the bowls off and check the jets, but its getting plenty of fuel, I doubt they are clogged. I think I would be pulling the bowls and checking the jets. :shrug: Pilots are very sensitive!

RollinRhino Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Did you try spraying starting fluid in? If it has spark it would fire. Once you know for sure it is firing enough to start a little, it has to be a fuel problem at that point. Quote

Keyser Soze Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 Yea the pickup gas was a little bit off I did check it. It just boggles my mind because it ran perfect when I parked it. Almost like someone messed with it while I was gone. Quote
