trent04shee Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 hey there im looking for help on why my 2004 banshee will not start it will fire and then die, i can kick till im blue in the face and it wont start, i have to jump it which is a pain in the ass. its not to far off stock has your usual bolt on mods with a shaved head and .40 over bore. i was having trouble gettin it started awhile back, so i did a compression test. 96 psi in the left 102 in the right. so time for a re-build obviously. i bought a wiesco top end rebuild kit. i had it bored at .40 and shaved the head down .20. after i put it back together i did another compression test and the compression is right where it should be so it seemed to start fine now, or at least i thought. after about 4 rides, it went back to this not starting non sense. i figured the problem had to be in those god aweful TORS, so i bought a motion pro TORS removal kit. after that instal, it made a big differnece in the starting. but the same thing happened again, after 4 or so rides, it suddenly wont fucking start again. by this point im ready to burn the thing to the ground. I havent even looked at the thing in over a month bcuz one of my friends was in a fatal atv crash. so tday i decided im goin to get it running right and sell it. Anyone that knows what is goin on with my quad please let me know, any information will be much appriciated. thanks alot. -Trent Quote
PA-rider Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 did you check the plugs after kicking it a bunch of times to see if they were wet?maybe its not getting gas. did you pull the reed cage to make sure the reeds arent warped or broken?.. Quote

PA-rider Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 ok, did you check to make sure your getting good spark?. i would maybe pull your carbs apart and give them a good cleaning and make sure your main and pilot jets are clean and i would make sure your floats are good.. Quote
Overboost Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 make sure the choke tube is between the 2 carbs. wont start worth a shit without it, if it starts at all.... Quote
quinnsta99 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 make sure the choke tube is between the 2 carbs. wont start worth a shit without it, if it starts at all.... Mine used to have a problem with the carbs, and the float needle getting stuck. Fixed those and it was always fine. Quote
