rudy2191 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 hi everyone i have a little issue with my banshee,at times its hard to start, like i pull the choke out and kik and kik and it wont start but at other times it will start at the second kick, although i did notice this only sometimes happens when the bike is cold, everything is stock, it just has the tors remover kit. sometimes i spray starting fluid and it will turn on the second kick once its running, it turns on the first kick. any help will be appreciated my air screw is about 1 3/4 out temperature in is about 60* to 80* degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrMeyer Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 How many hours are on the top end? Do a compression test. If it gets to low, then it will be hard to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheesandrider Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I don't know why vendors put jets in a rebuild kit. Jets are not a wear part, they are a tuning part. Once you have jetted your bike, the only reason to change jets is for weather conditions that change or some other change to your bike, NOT because they have been in there awhile and might be wore out. I think they put them in there so they can jack up the price of the kit. My point here is that if your bike was properly jetted before the carb rebuild you should have left those jets in it.

The reason why they put jets in are for people with stock bikes and wanting to add a jet kit to their bike thinking that it will make some great performance upgrade to it.

volcrano Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 The reason why they put jets in are for people with stock bikes and wanting to add a jet kit to their bike thinking that it will make some great performance upgrade to it. probably for people to have the right assortment for temperature/humidity changes,which will increase performance with correct jetting for the conditions presented,now that is unless they put the stock 200 jets in there which then i agree is reatrded and a waste of time and money for the vendor if not consumer.i dont care what jet u have in there-shit is not gonna start 2nd kick in the winter.its fucking cold and nothing likes to be cold.keep kicking and pray for spring.

GrMeyer Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I would get away from starting fluid. Just get an old spray bottle and put some gas in there that you are using in the bike to help aid in the starting of the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
