doug Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Hi Guys, I have a Banshee that I cannot get running right. Here is the problem. Starts fine, but when going through the gears there is a distinctive sputter. Once into the powerband that bike no longer sputters and pulls hard, runs clean, like a Banshee usually does. I've jetted up and down and no longer think this is a jetting issue. This was confirmed by a buddy who's got a built Banshee as well. Stock '06 FMF fatty pipes w/ powercore II silencers boyeseen reeds tors removed durablue air filter 260 mains 27.5 pilots Any ideas? Reeds look fine, slightly bending, but no chips, etc. Could this be part of the TORS removal? (electrical issue) There is one wire that must be plugged in for the bike to run. The wires are tiwsted together (to close the loop I think). Electrical issue? Thanks. Quote
black sunshine Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 You should synch the carbs, just to rule that out. It can't hurt :thumbsup: Quote
TurningRPMS Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 did u clean ur carbs. something could be clogging them somewhere Quote
doug Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 carbs are sync'd and have been cleaned numerous times. I've had them on and off at least 15 times...nothing is clogged. Quote
TurningRPMS Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 did u check the air screws. could be a leak somewhere on ur bike. Quote
mopar1rules Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 what is your elevation and riding temps where you ride? what is your jet needle set at? Quote

The wires are tiwsted together (to close the loop I think). Electrical issue? Thanks. my 00 banshee is doing the same thing. it seems to run better cold and above 1/4 throttle. I have a freash top end and have tried all kinds of jetting. I am starting to think that it is an electrical issue. I also noticed its hard to get any color out of the plug during plug chops reguardless of jetting. if I find the answer, I will let you know. Quote
AKheathen Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 what is your elevation and riding temps where you ride? what is your jet needle set at? x2 are you running a lid? snorkel? how gapped are the reeds? check the pickup gap. replace the plugs, and plug caps. but first, do a compression test.
