mooney Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 When I start my Banshee now it races right up to full throttle and won't come back down. I have to shut it down. I had to replace a sticky throttle cable (I thought this was the issue), but it wasn't the problem. What causes this or what should I look for now? I'm a relative ATV newbie so go slow. Thanks, Mooney in PA Quote
black sunshine Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Take your air filter off and take a look at your carb slides, one is probably hung up. You also may have to re-sync your carbs after you replaced the cable. Get a Clymer's Manual if you can. I think synchronizing your carbs may be covered in your owner's manual as well. Quote

Thanks, checked the slides already, they seem to be moving just fine and freely. Nothing looks stuck when I check them unless they are sticking only when running and unstick when I shut it down. Until I get this Banshee to idle I can sync it :shrug: Quote

mooney Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Posted April 13, 2009 TAKE TORS OFF. LIGHT IT ON FIRE. EMPTY TRASH CAN. LOL, thanks and i agree, but someone already did that. No TORS on my Banshee. It's actually an ALBA Banshee. Quote
LS1Inferno Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 You have an air leak if the carbs aren't stuck open. Quote
fck55mph Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Watched my buddy do this after he completed a rebuild...the tube that connects the carbs was off. It would shoot to redline. Check that Quote
alexmarq1986 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 I had this happen to me about a month ago and it turned out to be one of the carb caps was loose and created a big air leak, maybe check tosee your carb tops are on tight. Quote
