knelson Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 my carbs were cleaned last weekend so surely thats Not the problem. Allot of the time the problem comes from "fixing" it, I always try to find out what was f'ed with last on an (any) engine so I can focus my attention there after I do a visual, comp. test, and then spark check. Expecially if the carbs were just messed with...pull em off and check em out. Quote
empathy Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Posted April 13, 2011 Well i put the old reeds back in today and it was a bit better and all of a sudden after it not running right for about an hour, its banding on both sides, the only thing i can think of is dirt in the carb must of moved or something?

empathy Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Posted April 13, 2011 Still don't know if its running right, in 1st gear it goes really slow and like really high revs and the same for the rest of the gears, its seems to be in sixth aswell pinned and it feels just so slow for a banshee, it feels as if i should be pulling into another gear and taking off, as soon as you hit the powerband the revs stay the same no matter how much throttle, i expecting it to go alot faster, maybe im just getting used to it but i done know..??????

Socalcasedog Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Hate yo say it but I think you might have several issues rearing their head. Id offer to help work on it but I dont think we live that close ya know. Quote
Phelps Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 carbs carbs carbs. did you rejet for the new reeds? in not than thats the whole reason it's running like crap. Quote
empathy Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Posted April 14, 2011 Old reeds are back in and the reason im finding it slow is deffinitely because its only going into the band on one side. It's using a whole loads fuel too..a tank only gets me about one hour riding time, maybe one and a half. I've switched coils round, no change, switched plugs, no change, flipped reeds no change. Both cylinders run well at idle but when you start to go into higher rpm thw left side kinda breaks up.. Quote
Socalcasedog Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 Well stop running it and check it all out. Obviously something major is wrong but be my guest an run it till it blows cause thats whats gonna happen if you keep pushing it. Youve wasted atleast 2 tanks of fuel already....i woulda stopped when I felt something wrong the first time Quote
