95 shee Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Ihave a 95 banshee stock evrything except air filter the problem i am having it keeps fallin on its face no top end power at all almost like no power ban. it will start with one kick itle great just no top end and the left cylander is not smoking at all plug is fireing the right side is smokin like crazy. i changed all fluids. new gas i am runnig 93 octane with amsoil 40:1 any halp would be great Quote
JCMshee Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Sounds like your running on just one cylinder if one is smoking and one is not. I would open it up and rebuild the top end. Quote
captainhowdie Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 I would get a reliable compression tester and see what your at before you go rippin it apart. Maybe you just have a fouled out plug. Also you could switch your carbs around to see if its the left carb. Quote
95 shee Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Posted February 17, 2010 i am goin to get a comp tester today will let know thanks for the carb switch idea didnt think about that Quote
bansheesandrider Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) If you switch the carbs around, how are you going to hook up the choke hose that goes between the carbs? If it is not hooked up, it is going to create a whole new set of problems. Ceck the compression, and then take your carbs apart one at a time so you don't mix up the float bowls, and give them a good cleaning by removing all the jets and floats, etc. and washing all passages with cleaner and blowing out with air. While the carbs are off you might want to look at your reeds also. You might also try switching your plug wires from side to side, if this changes it, look at your plug caps. If none of this helps, then I would get a leakdown tester and look for leaks, especailly around the crank seals, you will have to pull the clutch cover to check the right side crank seal, but that is the side that is smoking so it could be sucking oil out of the transmission.

95 shee Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Posted February 17, 2010 Well thanks guys did a compreshion test looks like i am rebuilding this weekend lol i have inbetween 60 and 65 on both sides so i would say thats probably most of my problem thank you for all the help what kind of top end kit does everyone think would be best? is weseco a good piston ?

bansheesandrider Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Wisecos are the best piston in my opinion. I recomend getting your pistons from whoever is doing your bore job, that way it is bored for the correct clearances, and make sure they are knowledgable about Wisecos and the proper way to measure clearances. I prefer to use stock gaskets but alot of guys on here say Cometic. And I always replace the wrist pin bearings, it is cheap insurance. Quote
95 shee Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Posted February 18, 2010 yea i have a guy that does all my bore work i ushaually order offline then take the jugs and the pistons to him but i am goin to tare it down tonight have him mesure and se what size i need and get it on order i ushually buy weiseco but i am new to the banshee so i figured i would ask now if i am goin from stock to .10 over i am wanting to get pipes this week also what should i do to jetting and should i take my air box lid off or drill holes i have aftermarket filter already Quote
