hi this is my first post to banshee headquarters...thanks ahead of time for the info....ok i live in missouri elev about 1000 ft....so i just bought my self a banshee. It has a cool head cpi pipes boost bottle v force reeds..for sure.,...not sure if it has pistons or not...anyways runs and sounds good at an idle revs real clean and smooth at idle but just wont make any power. it wont get up in the pipe and run it just kinda cruises around..lol....it has 340 main and 25 pilots....stock carbs...and stock needles which dont appear to b adjustable...i have taken filter off ..no change....ive taken boost bottle off also..no change..tryin to make the dunes by the 24th so like to get rollin on it any help would be great thanks

Do a plug chop to make sure your jetting is right, it sounds close but it may be off. Take the carbs apart and completely clean them, and make sure your parking break or any other breaks aren't sticking

it has a block off on brake....and it doesnt really sound like a limiter issue..after messing with it for awhile now im starting to think maybe something ignition...i have decent blue spark but maybe its weak off idle?...thanks....plugs are wet so maybe its not burning the fuel that its gettn

make sure your reeds arent cracked

ill check the reeds right now......i should be able to get a reading between the cap and the coil right? if im suppose to be able to it reads nothing i figured i should be able to ohm it and get something but i dont....i pulled the plug wire and got 5.0 from end to cap ....but nothing through coil?.....but it idles and revs fine on idle ....i dunno still lost...ill check the reeds and check back in a few mins...thanks

reeds were good no cracks or breaks everything looked clean and good
