03 Banshee LE Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 i replaced my clutches and fixed my push rod assembly and all i did was disconnect the hose from my carb to my exhaust and the little hose that goes between the carbs and then i hooked every thing back up and put all the clutches in and oil and now my bike absolutely will not start i kicked consistantly for almost an hour with the throttle open closed and choke in all positions with fuel off, on, and reserve and it still won't start and when i put it in gear it still rolls like its in neutral and what could i have done wrong this is my first banshee so i really have no clue about two strokes period.

Larry's Shee Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Check for spark. Be sure all switches are ON. If you have spark then it has to be fuel. Did you lay it over on it's side to do the clutch? If so the floats may be stuck, or junk may now be plugging the petcock. Might have loosened junk in carbs which now plug jets. Clean carbs one at a time. Install crossover tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeper06 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 no one else is questioning the hose that goes from the carb to the exaust,where exactly does that come into play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 Banshee LE Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 no one else is questioning the hose that goes from the carb to the exaust,where exactly does that come into play? its not really a hose just like a rubber connection with a hose clamp on it like a rubber boot or something and what is the best way to clean carbs this is my first carb machine as well ive always had fuel injection.

sleeper06 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 im still stumped why the carbs were off to change the push rod/clutch,try opening the screw on the bottom of the bowl to see if its getting fuel,your not in NY are you because it might be easier to show you in person if the knowledge base isnt there or buy a manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
