formula1 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 Well I was bored during the winter months and I had just bought this banshee owner had no idea about what was done to it ect. The carbs needed rebuild so I started opening it up to see what bore and pistons ect. I put it back together the other day cylinders, pistons, reeds everything looked good. Went to start it up fired right up first kick. Warm exhaust coming out of the right cylinder and cold out of the other. Has a good spark on both sides, and a good even compression on each cylinder. What gives? Quote

What gives? well if you have spark and then you need fuel to get it to fire. but lets start simple....switch your spark plug wires.....if the left suddenly runs then you have a spark problem...do you have the tors eliminator??

I pulled the plugs after I had it running and the cylinder that was not running the spark plug was wet so I assume its getting fuel. Do not have the tors eliminator. Quote
BluBanshee98 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 Like he said swap plug wires from the coil. If it swaps to the other side then you know you have a bad plug wire or somethings up with the coil. If that doesn't diagnose itself then it could be a TORS issue. Quote
formula1 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Posted March 17, 2010 Just swapped the plug wires still the same thing. I seem to be seeing alot of white smoke out of the left side so does that mean coolant is leaking into that cylinder and causing it. Quote
