AC-BANSHEE Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) basically my bike had year old gas in it.. mixed just fine didnt smell too bad,.. took a million kicks to start it. It will then fire up 1st kick after that each day, could the old gas be the reason its not starting right up? could the octane drop be the cause? Cuz before this, once its fired the bike runs great, and the rest of the day, fires up one or two kicks.. and then the next day same thing... 1st startup sucks Edited July 29, 2011 by AC-BANSHEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydownunder Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 not if it starts fine every next day. do you shake the bike before starting ? i do every time to mix the gas. 1 year old is way old !! throw it in ya mower or something.

Larry's Shee Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Even with fresh gas my son's don't want to start good after sitting for couple weeks. My thought is that the "good shit" in the gas evaps out of the carb bowls. I wouldn't even think of using year old gas. Even with the gas can sitting in the garage in this heat I have to burb the pressure off the can because it looks like it's gonna pop.

AC-BANSHEE Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) I figuered the gas was bad.. i kno its wayy old, but would it cause this? "the first start is a pain in the ass (this is with the old gas) and will fire if i use some hot start, but after its run for a lil while, it will fire up first kick after that... my guess is it is bad gas?

BrockMoto Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Bad has is just that... Bad.. But what your describing sounds like a compression issue... Poe compression makes out hard to start (more prevalent with bad gas) and when the motor warms the compression raises... I say check it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say check it ok will do, yea its just the initial start..even after the motor has cooled down, it will fire up right away, ill check compression, i need to flush fresh gas through it too Edited July 29, 2011 by AC-BANSHEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheeManWomenHater Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 could it be that your banshee is just cold blooded? i would clean the carbs, drain the tank and see if that helps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
