12 0 Clock P I M P Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 X2 you are not building up enough compression to fire up.....only fires when compression is forced do a compression check to verfiy but its 98% positive u need a rebuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Reynolds Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Having to roll start a banshee does not mean you need a rebuild,yes low compression is one issue that can cause it but by far is not the only one. I have personaly seen all these issues cause hard starting on bikes with good top ends. Dirty carbs/choke tube/dirty air filter/fouled plugs that still fire/bad grounds/weak stator/coil gap/spark plug cap/old gas/bad conecttion in the wiring/weak spark wich can be caused in 10 different places/poor jetting ect/wet air filter/over oiled air filter. The very first thing i do when a banshee is hard to start,unless there is obviously a psi issue, is make sure the air filter isnt saturated,and try a fresh set of plugs even if the ones in it sill spark-and unplug the tors. If your psi is over 110 in both cylinders and is within 5 psi of eachother i would be looking in other places for your problem. Even without a psi test if the kick feels pretty solid i would try some new plugs. Edited April 5, 2011 by Burt Reynolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Check that you don't have a kink in cable. Maybe take it off and run some carb or brake clean thru it. At the very least lube it up good. X-2 on air leaks. Could also try air screws or richer pilot jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
