Banshee Only Idle With Choke on

[FitZBanshEe]

I gotta 02 banshee with a 05 motor and I put new reeds in it cleaned the carbs, got new needles, and it will only start with the choke on.. If i try and start it with the choke off and go back to it on it just won't start at all.. so then I gotta roll start it... It will run with the choke off but if i let off the gas it will die out cause it won't idle correctly... it runs fine in upper rpms... i brought it to a shop and they couldn't even figure it out!! ( shop guys must not be to smart ) so any info will be awesome

Pilot jets may be too small or clogged. take em out so you can look through them and check they are clean.

 

Also check that the tube is on between the carbs and that the slides are in the correct way - cutout facing the air filter.

Does it still have the tors system and can you raise the idle screw at all

aside from what was stated by Rod..

 

 

Check for a air leak also...

was this motor running good befor you put it in this frame and is this the first time you have tried to run it in this frame

Did you get the float bowl back on the correct carbs? The left one is different from the right one because of the way the choke works. Also make sure the rubber hose between the two carbs for the choke is on, it is directly inline with the choke knob between the carbs.

Are you sure you didn't get your slides mixed up? It won't idle worth a crap but will still run on top.
