dscortgt Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 Traded for a 2000 banshee with toomey pipes, boost bottle, power reeds, motion pro twist throttle to my knowledge rest is stock. Problem is its so hard to kick start most of time it won't start. When started it won't hold idle without shutting off. Friend said recent owners took something out so it won't idle? Think they used it for racing. Information on how to fix? Quote
Yamaha4ever Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 when you say its hard to kick start...is the kickstarter loose...or is it really tight??....and i would try takin the carbs off and cleaning them out real good that always helps things Quote
Yamaha4ever Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 sorry i didnt word that very well..what i meant say is the kick starter hard like it takes a lot of effort to kick it down.. does it feel like its grabbing Quote

But after it's run for awhile you can get it to start the first kick, but if you don't get it the first time it won't start. Quote

When started you have to keep it reved up or it will shut off as soon as you let off throttle. Something was took out to make it do this. Will this cause it to be hard to start? Quote
