Banshee23! Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 All, I just bought a 2000 banshee and it will only idle. Guy claims it ran fine before I bought it. Starts right up and idles, but giving it gas doesn't do anything. It only makes a weird noise, like the timing is off. Almost coughing or something. Can't describe. I have pulled the carbs and cleaned them. pilot jet is 52, main jet 158. Keihin 29pwk, vforce reeds, billit crossover intake, NOSS head, T6 pipe/silencers, k&n clamp on filters. Any ideas? I could shoot a video on my phone and email if that would help. I am at a loss. Thanks. Quote
01banch Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 Sounds like a possible float issue. Maybe try adjusting the floats? Quote
shogs Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 I cut a wrong wire and it did that to me. Theres a plug that was together and it looked unnecessary so I cut it. It coughed like you said anything more than idle. For me it was the wire (yellow/black for my 2000) that was right after where you cut the t.o.r.s. I really suck with wiring so its hard to explain but i'm sure someone else can chime in and help you out. Sounds like wiring for sure though. Quote

Banshee23! Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Posted July 4, 2009 did you remove the parking brake ? I bet its the ignition interrupt for the parking brake. F&F Video if issue is posted on youtube now. Please check it out. Thanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7GqHQ_GZRU Quote
Flash and Flare Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 Video if issue is posted on youtube now. Please check it out. Thanks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7GqHQ_GZRU That deff sounds like the parking brake interrupt. Quote
Banshee23! Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Posted July 4, 2009 the parking brake stuff is still attached to the handlebars, but the cable is removed. I pulled the rubber boot back and there was a busted cable tie that was used to hold the parking brake in the off position. It ran just fine after that. What is the best way to remove that stuff and prevent it from heppening? my bashee still has all the lights and stock handlebar controls. Quote

There is a wire up by the parking brake, I forget if it needs to be grounded for the bike to run of it needs to be left a open circuit. Try either way, its not gonna hurt anything. Quote
