sandunagen Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Im having problems starting my shee. I had it dyno tuned last year and have had problems since. i have taking it to 2 different shops and they couldnt fix it. so I did some tear down checks. I checked my reeds and one side was missing a piece. Changed it out. reeds are good, tried cleaning carbs 3 times. I bought a rebuild kit for carbs, set the floats to 21mm, put needle on middle clip, slides are in correctly,choke tube is n place and not cracked.boots are good. I have 150 lbs compression both cylinders. Got fat blue spark both spark plugs. gap is good. my jetting is 320 mains 30 pilots, screws 2 full turns out. im at around 2000 ft. My other mods are Toomey T5, vforce 2 reeds, advanced timing 4deg, coolhead 18cc domes, i run 100 octane gas 32:1 ratio. I can get it to start with starting fluid, cant use choke, any suggestions would be great. so frusturating to fight it everytime to start. thanks Quote
sandunagen Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Posted March 10, 2009 forgot i had port work and k and n dual pods. thanks Quote
Klaus Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 forgot i had port work and k and n dual pods. thanks Does it start when hot? Cos if it does, switch your float bowls ( they were probably switched ) , most people overlook this. Quote
sandunagen Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Posted March 10, 2009 sometimes starts first kick when warm, other times gotta pull start it. i have float bowls on correctly. one with brass on outside is carb side. Quote
sandunagen Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Posted March 10, 2009 only thing i can think of maybe stator is bad. anyone think this could be it? Quote
Woolfman Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 What do you mean you can't use your choke? Couldn't that be your problem? Does it ever run good? Did you maybe mix up your plug wires? Get a voltage tester to check your stator. Quote
stnditup2 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 I had that same problem with my blaster for awhile and it was the stator would start first kick when warmed up but go out in the morning and kick it 300 times and finally get it started..... I would deff check the stator..... Also it wouldnt have nothing to do with your plug wires being mixed up cuz no matter how you have them they both get spark and it still runs the same.... Quote
sandunagen Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Posted March 10, 2009 im gonna have stator tested n let you know. i know its not choke. ive used 3 diferent sets of carbs. still same prob. I let yall know the outcome of test later today. thanks Quote
sleeper06 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 If your running 18cc domes thats some heavy port work,in my opinion 320 is way small you should be in the 360-380 range with that main jet,pilot should be fine,I think your lean for starters.You can ohm out your stator relativly easy and rule that out,take the choke mechanism out /inspect it lube it (o-ring) blow air thruogh it with carb bottom off so air can go through circiut Quote
sandunagen Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Posted March 10, 2009 had 330 in last week at dunes. plugs fouled. put in 320 runs great , should i run 40:1 instead of 32:1? Quote
AKheathen Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) had 330 in last week at dunes. plugs fouled. put in 320 runs great , should i run 40:1 instead of 32:1? Were you using the same slides with the different carbs? check the bolt-on cable retainers to see if they are covering the holes in the top of the slides. i was kicking forever and heating up my bowls to get it started in the cold, until i found that one :shoothead: 40:1 may me called for, imo. i switched from 32:1 when i jetted for my new pipes, between the smoke and overabundance of oil in my engine when i had my reeds out What's the temp there?

I'm no pro with banshee ignition system but unless they both spark at the same time every time it would matter if plug wires are mixed up. If they are mixed up and they don't both spark at the same time then the spark plug would be firing when the piston is at the bottom of the stroke instead of the top. Anyone on here know about the ignition if they just always spark at the same time or if they alternate spark like most cars and motorcycles. Quote
sandunagen Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 fixed it . the piece of shit ricky stator was the problem. got a used stock one and put it on fires right up. First or second kick. thats for info and help to all. :biggrin: Quote

One coil to rule them all :sorcerer: Quote
jaydun323 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I'm having the same problem but when mine starts it back fires like crazy! Anyone got any ideals. Thanks Justin Quote
