dont like to start

[rappy660]

i have a 94 banshee, just rebuilt, coolhead with 20cc domes, +4 timing, ported, stock carbs.

Sitting in a 40 degree garage the bike does not want to start. After a couple kicks it will start, run a couple seconds and die. After like doing this about 10-15 times it will finally start and idle.

 

The elevation is 1800 feet. I set the carbs up like my buddies with close to the same engine set up, but they only run theres in the summer when it is near 70 or more out.

i have 310 mains, 4 clip down on needle, stock pilots, and 2 turns out.

 

Does anyone have any ideas why it doesnt want to start. Do you think its just because of the could weather. Once the bike is running for a little, it will fire up 1st kick, and runs perfectly smooth. Any help will be greatly appreaciated. BTW as you can tell from the name "Rappy660", i just switched over to banshee's so i dont no allot about them

Try 27.5 on the pilot jet, this will make a BIG difference.

icic, do you think the 25's will be fine once it gets warmer tho. Thats what everyone around my area runs for the summer

But everyones bike is not the same and they all react different some even with the same mods and what not. For the time it takes (5-10) mins on the stockers to change your pilots or mains go ahead and do it like said above.

deff move to 27.5 pilots with it being that cold, ported and pods on. I would also think that your mains are lean as well for that temp. You should prob be in the 330's

im setting the bike up for summer tho, the only reason i was starting it was to heat cycle it a couple more times. Dont wanna change stuff up if it will work for the warmer temps tho

Well think as jetting the bashee as a never ending think. Moving the 27.5's I would have to say almost every after market pipe needs them unless ur up around 6k ft. But for summers. U still might end up from 310 down to 290 depending on the temps. So u might as well stock up on jets and learn the banshee carbs in and out.
