Hard Starting

[dbdragracing]

I purchased a 2002 Banshee a week ago and it runs great and has good compression numbers, but I noticed this week it was about 40 degrees outside and it wouldn't start. Mods are in my signature. Let me know what you think my problem could be. Thanks.

prob.that boost bottle. j/k Maybe check your pilot circuit.

[dbdragracing]

Thanks...where is the pilot circuit and how do I check it? I ordered a Clymers manual...hopefully gets here soon!

Float level or pilot jet more than likely.

Thanks for the help...I think Im going to rebuild the carbs because after I shut the Banshee off it leaks gas anyways...do you think this may help?

[dajogejr]

Yep.

Clean the bejesus out of the carbs, clean and oil the air filter and get fresh spark plugs, as well as fresh gas and oil.

 

Start there.

and check what jets you have in the "stage 2 jet kit"

 

ironically, swapping that boost bottle out probably would make it start easier, lol

is it your first banshee.

when i first got mine i got it to start up first kick eveytime for a otnh. but then it wouldnt start that good. and eventually just stopped starting. but now i know that i was tarting it wrong. so u might want to make sure your starting it right

[dbdragracing]

Yes it is my first Banshee...how do you start it right? Do you think the boost bottle is hurting it? Thanks
