I had my Banshee tuned up and ready to go for the weekend, was running great for the 4 days i had it out, i hadnt run it in a long long time but i got her to run great in no time and was just riding everyday to make sure it stayed that way. i put it away one night, skipped the next day then came out a day after and started it up, sounded kinda funny but i figured it was cuz it was cold. I tried to take off an immediately it bogged down and almost cut out, nothing had changed, temp. was relatively the same, no change in altitude or anything, just two days later and it wont even take off. White smoke comes from the left pipe but hardly anything from the right, and when i remove my air filter and push my throttle in with the bike off, i can see smoke floating around the inside of the right carb. Its as soon as i let off the clutch, it bogs down and wont do anything. its completely stock, my carbs were 2 turns out, my TORS is disconnected at the box(did that last night as a last ditch effort), but im not sure if that disables it completely, i run 32:1 with 93 premium.

We will need more info to really help you out. Mods on the bike, how many hours is on the top end, etc. But I will just throw this out there. Does it have bad gas in it from sitting a long time? I'd pick up some plugs and change them. Sounds like you have a fouled plug. That's a quick easy problem you can eliminate fast.

 

Otherwise you need to do a compression test and leak down and post those results.

Well i bought it from a guy who said it really didn have a whole lot of hours on it, and he just rode it around the yard with the kids or whatever, but honestly from the looks of it, he used it more than he said. Its completely stock from what i can tell, the plugs were new, the carbs had just been tuned and i re-tuned them. Like i said it was running great, no mods at all, BRAND new gas and oil, just put it in the day before, both carbs are pretty well in sync from what i can tell, everything looks the way it should, it just wont run, also, this morning i went to go try it again, it started once, ran for about a minute then died, then it wouldnt start at all, im going to try new plugs and post the results
