[email protected] Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 my banshee does not want to run, the right side is spiting and sputtering and the bike wont idle. If I give it half choke it helps a little but its still not right. everyone tells me its the reeds but I swapped the right with the left to check it and its still doing the same thing. I have taken the carb apart and cleaned it out. I took the petcock apart and cleaned it to make sure I was getting fuel..........and yes the hose between the carbs is hooked up. not sure what else to do from here. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know......I am at a loss for ideas. Quote

[email protected] Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Posted June 19, 2009 are your air adjustment screws set the same on both carbs and are they sinked I will double check again this weekend but when the carbs were cleaned we counted the amount of turns for each side. Quote
blowit Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 I will double check again this weekend but when the carbs were cleaned we counted the amount of turns for each side. x2 on syncing the carbs. this is an adjustment at the top of the carbs that balances the slide motion so they open and close as the same time and rate. The eye ball test will get you close. Many times you can clearly see the problem. Plenty of threads on this on the forum. Just try the search feature. B Quote
Toomey Banshee Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Are the plugs new? Carbs stock? TORS disconnected? Parking brake disconnected? Need some info. Quote

B I know this might sound stupid but mine did this and it was blown up a ring feel off and it would start but sit and back fire and sputter idk if that is what yours is doing just a thought Quote

Need some info. plugs are not new, however they are not fouled either....they are getting plenty of spark......I will be buying a case of plugs this weekend anyway though. Carbs are stock. I dont know what the TORS is? Parking brake is connected however we did make sure that it wasnt the problem. Quote
