Banshee real hard starting

[crash&burn]

I have a 93 banshee replaced the pistons in it after blowing holes threw the old ones now its a real pain to start with repeatedly kicking and it will start... once warm it will start fine soon as it cools it back to kicking repeatedly again till it will go..... these are the mods: cool head with 16cc domes, bored to 66mm pistons, Vforce3 reeds, T5 toomy pipes with CPI silencers, dual K&N, and ported running 115 octane race gas all of these mods were already done to it before the pistons had holes blown through them it started with the forst or second kick before the piston replacement... any thoughts or help for problem would be great i have no idea

Nice bike! Sounds like it's time for a compression check and leakdown test.

Check to see where your pilot screws are set at. They should be around 1.5 turns out. Lightly screw them in all the way and then back them out 1.5 turns. If that doesn't help, screw them in .25 turns at a time and keep retesting. If it gets worse when you screw them in, obviously try backing them out .25 at a time. Don't go any further than 2.5. If its gets better when you back them out, you may need smaller pilots. Let the bike run a little while after setting the screws each time before testing.
