jon Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) i have a 98 banshee with exhaust, trinity single carb, and a cool head. i was riding this weekend and it started acting up. it wont idle without giving it gas and runs rough at lower rpms. Seems like the left cylinder is misfiring the right seems to be fine. When you give it more gas, it revs higher and runs great. i switched the plugs and it still did it. I also took the reed valves and checked them but they seem fine. any ideas on what it could be? Edited March 15, 2009 by jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the reeds already and they seem to be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowit Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 i cleaned the carb and it didn't help any other ideas? Did you "really" clean the pilots? Remove, inspect, clean, blow compressed air through, reinspect, install?? How is that carb sync looking? Slides come up at the same rate and time?

Brandon haqhahahahahahahahah :yelrotflmao: seriously though, swap your plug wires and see if it's still the same side. after that, i'd do a compression test.

jon Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 well i since i have a single carb kit i would say its pretty much synced with itself and the one slide slides fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure your choke tube is connected as well - me being an asshole. As mentioned above switch your coils from left to right and see if the misfire changes. Might wanna throw some new plugs in too. Compression check wouldnt hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlasterKX Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 check your gap on your flywheel make sure there both the same. its kinda hard to determan(sp) what it is when its a single carb but good luck to ya man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
