Need to know that first. Take the carbs off and clean them well. Use compressed air to clean the passages and jets. Use a good amount of carb cleaner in each. Do you have spark - good spark? Your looking at a spark, fuel or air issue, but you need to do some testing to see which one - then go from there...First take the plug out and plug it in to the boot/wire. Ground it on the head and see what kind of spark you are getting. You should see a fat blue spark on each. Take both plugs out at the same time to ease kicking it over by hand. Is your air cleaner clean? Compression good on each jug? Quote
98MonsterShee Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 I just recently replaced the coil with a Ricky stator coil and changed plugs, I hav toomey t-5s on it and a k an n air filter Quote
98MonsterShee Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 uhm they weren't the same as the stock ones but i mean i tested the spark at the time and it was minty, iv heard the aftermarket coils arent as good as the stock ones could that possibly be a reason its causin this problem?

Larry's Shee Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 If you still have old coil and its good, throw it back on and see if you have spark. As to plugs I was asking what color the old plugs you took out were. Quote
98MonsterShee Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 Nah the old coil went on me but the old plugs were white Quote
98MonsterShee Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 Haha yea man half a tank, first thing I checked....iv made enough dumb mistakes Quote
VooDooBanshee Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 There are screws on the bottom of the bowls. Unscrew them and see if fuel comes out of each one. You need to make sure you are getting proper air, fuel and spark. That's really all there is to the banshee. The CDI and coil seldom fail, however there are other issues like failed stator, sheered off woodruff key and loose fly wheel that can cause spark/starting issues. Is it backfiring at all? Quote
98MonsterShee Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 No it hadn't been at all Quote
VooDooBanshee Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 No it hadn't been at all Do a compression test and post the numbers. Check spark and fuel as stated above. Will it start at all? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 The clue is the color of the plugs. Only new plugs should be white. Either way lean jetting or major air leaks. JMHO, your results may vary. Quote
