calcium12 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have recently put back together my 1999 banshee that i bought with a crooked frame, it ran with the old frame i have recently replaced it. I have added all the necessary liquids and turned all the buttons on, but when i kick to start it nothing happens. Could this be an electrical problem, I am pretty sure that the TORS are removed. Also on another note i painted the frame before putting it on, could this affect the ground ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Shave off the paint at all ground contacts on the frame and kick again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcium12 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Shave off the paint at all ground contacts on the frame and kick again. I sandpapered most of the paint off the contact point, still doesn't start. There is only 1 ground point right ? the one in the back ??

SAVAGE420 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 You have to get them down to bare metal for a good ground. The ignition coil where it bolts to the frame is a ground as well. Do that and i bet it will fire right up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're getting fuel if the threads are wet lol, how old is the gas and what ratio did you mix it at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcium12 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 You're getting fuel if the threads are wet lol, how old is the gas and what ratio did you mix it at? gas is new, like i would say maybe couple weeks old ? we just use it for the weed wackers and blowers and such so we dont go through it that fast i mixed it 32:1 approx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this doesn't help you may wanna check your compression. Did you have your carbs apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
