Sounds like your carbs may need cleaning. Pull your carbs one at a time, remove the bowls and check your jets. May have some debri clogging them. My Banshee was just acting similar to what your describing. Wasn't running running right, and kept cutting out on the right cylinder unless I pulled the choke out. I pulled the carb yesterday, and the bowl was clean, but the pilot jet was clogged. I took a can of carb cleaner and sprayed everything out really good (all jets, small holes and passages, float valve), then used compressed air and blew everything out good and reinstalled. It's back to running good now. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 Look over the rubber boots that hold carbs to engine for cracks, especially at cross over tube ( or boost bottle ). If there's no cracks check by spraying carb clean or brake clean on gasket area and boots, if engine speeds up or slows down you have found your leak. Quote
sheefreak Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 Concentrate on cleaning your carbs first. You are lean on the bottom end and could easily be caused by a dirty pilot jet. Quote
