Brownie Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 You didn't put new reeds on it did you?? If so did you put them back wards on the reed cage? Quote
Pat the one the only Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Posted June 9, 2011 I did, but theyre on right i double checked, and i just plugged up the boost bottle holes im gonna test soon but it didnt want to start at all... Quote
sleeper06 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 Can you start it on premix through the back of the carbs Quote
Dunes98 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 I have the same issue with the fuel line going over the dumb boost bottle. I have never had any fueling issues, And guys correct me if i'm wrong but dont you need a balance tube in there th make them run right?? Just what I was told from some other people. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 There are manifolds with and without balance/crossover built in. I plugged the boots on my son's shee because of cracking from boost bottle. At a slow roll in 3rd gear I can stab the throttle and lift the wheels, so it runs great without it. Quote
Pat the one the only Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Posted June 13, 2011 sorry guys my computer fried lmao. the only way i can start it is with premix through the carbs, then it runs great, and starts fine hot. it has 27.5 pilots, 260 mains and the needle on the 3rd clip, i dont get it if anything that should be rich on an almost stock motor. the plugs are a little black, but not completely oily, plus i can run it with the choke on fine, what is wrong here???

Pat the one the only Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Posted June 13, 2011 i really need help with this because its pretty much the only thing holding me back from riding Quote
Jereme6655 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 im wondering if something is wrong with your choke circuit.....try and pull your choke out with your bike running and see if there is ANY change at all......if it doesn't change then i bet your choke isn't working......hence why its hard to start cold and easy to start hot....

Pat the one the only Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Posted June 14, 2011 what part of the choke system would cause this? it really doesnt seem like its working has anyone else had this problem? Quote
sheefreak Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) The bowls are interchangeable between carbs as far as fit, but the choke will only work if they are on the correct carb. You said they were on the correct carb once, but are you sure? Some bowls are labeled 1-1 and 1-2 inside of them. 1-1 goes on the carb w/choke lever. Another way to test this is see if you can spray carb cleaner down the little hole the choke rod goes down and see if it shoots out back at you(may want to wear goggles for this Lol) or out another hole in the bowl. You either have the bowls on the wrong carb, or the passage is plugged not allowing your choke to work. Edited June 14, 2011 by sheefreak Quote

Pat the one the only Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Posted June 14, 2011 well thats wierd, i pulled the float bowls off, and theyre on the right carbs, 1-1 is on the left side (choke side) so i really dont know what the problem is.... it runs with the choke out tho, so its prob a choke problem....

crash&burn Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Ok i don't know if this is right or not i don't have stock crabs no more, but there is spot where the choke tube goes between the carbs and on the same sides where the choke tube goes on the carbs there are spots for overflow tubes too. Could it be possible that your overflow tubes and your choke tube are in the wrong spot. I'm quite sure i have seen this happen before but not sure if this is possible or not just trying to help.

Pat the one the only Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Posted June 15, 2011 unfortunatly the vent and choke tubes arnt mixxed up, this is really starting to annoy me, my banshee can never be working without something going wrong, its always devoloping a new problem Quote
