xXBANSHEE_KILLAXx Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 hey i got an 01 banshee with fmf pipes, original carbs, 190 main jetting, K&N air filter, wiseco pistons. SO i went yesterday with it to ride after the snow melted. there was alot of mud and water but it wasnt deep at all. I rode it pretty slow for about 6km without changing the gears higher than the 3rd one. There was no water that got to the engine or anything like that. After i came home, i let it sit for a day and when i went to start it up, it started 1st kick, except that it was idling very high and it kept reving its self like u would let it run without the gas turned on, except it was. I reved it, but it still reved by its self. What can be wrong???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragbanshee Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 You sure you don't have 290 mains in there? If you do have 190s then thats most of your problem. Multiple items to look at. Need to check & lubricate your throttle cable, make sure its not hanging up. Plus check to make sure you don't have an air leak around your carb boots. Make sure your carb caps are screwed down all the way and locking tabs tightened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 190s a no go. 290s, probably close. check cable, as mentioned. check fuel petcock, running out of fuel or slow fuel flow from the tank can cause that. check for an air leak at the reeds or intake area.

OK thanks its going to the mechanic to be rejetted and tuned up this week so now i know what jets to tell him to put it my banshee. DOnt worry he has 5 banshee's and he is a certified mechanic and fixes only banshee's besides his daily job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster2006 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 you cant have 190 mains.. its probably a mistake, why would anyone jet under stock when you get mods? stock is 200, nobody would down jet after getting mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeper06 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Why would anyone chance smoking a motor,which is still possible after running a bike that lean,did you overheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 THE mechanic put 190 jets in it so that the banshee wont kill me as i havent ever riden one I know I'm going to sound like a pompous ass, but...that's just me. If the same mechanic put 190's in it that you're going to take it to for rejetting, find a new mechanic, seriously. All he did was GREATLY increase the chance of you blowing up the motor, and then it'll be so slow any kid can jump on it while it's parked. 190s could be a stock jet. Stock from Yamaha was 200. If a local dealer rejetted for local weather, elevation, etc., it could very well be 190. If you lived or purchased the quad in say...Denver, it's a great possibility...

GrMeyer Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Shit I lived in Wyoming and we ran higher then 5280ft. when we hit the top of the rockies mnt. there is no way he can even be close to running that lean of a jet in the bike. the only way I could think is if he was running the 190 he must have the full lid set up on and then tape over the snorkel with a pen hole for air... but all in all we need to know if your running pod filters. with lid, without lid. etc Edited March 24, 2009 by GrMeyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
