ELKARACING_SHEE Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 hey guys i have a 1998 and a 2001 banshees. The 1998 banshee has alot of compression but it starts in 10 kicks in summer time!! it has been rejeted by a certified mechanic and its still starting hard. There was a missing piece in the carbs but we bought it and still the same thing! We cleaned the carbs all over and they were newly synchronized. We also put a brand new choke because the old one didnt come out fully. Everything is okay! But its starting realy hard!! I dont know what to do with it anymore! It has original carbs, wiseco pistons, new spark pluges, k&n air filter, orginal cdi box, and fmf pipes and silencers, and twist throttle! What can be the problem thats causing it to start sooo hard??? Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 is the choke tube hooked up between the carbs? Quote
bbcmudtruck Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Well, first things first, list your current jetting, (mains and pilots) so that we can help you determine wheter or not you have the right jetting in the first place. Some of the "mechanics" lately have been retards... Whats your elevation and outside temperature? Quote
ELKARACING_SHEE Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Posted March 8, 2009 is the choke tube hooked up between the carbs? NO its not hooked up. Cause they are original carbs Quote

Some of the "mechanics" lately have been retards... Whats your elevation and outside temperature? He didnt really tell us what jets he put in it! Cause as soon as we got it from the shop it was hard to start!! and the mechanic started it for us!! MY elevation is 3440 feet. The temp is around 15-19 Celcius Quote
2001Stroker Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 How old is the gas? What's you pickup gap and spark plug gap? Quote
ELKARACING_SHEE Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Posted March 8, 2009 How old is the gas? What's you pickup gap and spark plug gap? The gas is brand new!!! It has original cylinder so no mods have been made. I put in it brand new NKG spark plugs that are BR8ES Quote
ELKARACING_SHEE Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Posted March 8, 2009 how did he start it? He just kept on kicking it until it started with the choke on and the gas off. He didnt turn it over so the gas from the carbs would come out or push it or anything like that! He just started it normally like u would start a banshee OOO by the way he didnt give it any gas ( ON the throttle) to help it Quote
AKheathen Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 when it's properly adjusted, you should be able to just kick it once or twice if it's warm. The choke is just for cold. what part was missing? Quote
sleeper06 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 I have come to the conclusion that not many mechanics can work on banshees,so crack into them carbs and let us know whats in there,second how do you know it has that much compression are you taking his word for it,have you ever put a top-end in ,head milled,things like that,let us know Quote

IM not too sure, U know how the dealerships lie alot, But when we bought it from the dealership, the guy said that he put new pistons into it and he had papers to prove it! He said that if we dont believe him, he could of done a compression test, but my dad didnt want him to do the compression test because my dad believed him but i didnt! I will take a peak in the summer time because right now i dont want to take them completely off and work on them in the house, cause i then have to synchronize them, and u probably know how much pain in the but is to synchronize the carbs of a banshee. If it keeps on doing this and there is no solution that we can think of then i will take the carbs off my 01 banshee and put them on the 98 and see what happens! But it should start with the carbs of the 01 banshee cause the 01 starts rely easy, and i have not started the 01 banshee in 5 months and when i went to kick it over it started 1 kick LOL The 01 Has that much compression Quote
