yagermeister_07 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 So i took my re-built banshee up to silver lake this weekend only to have it rain and have the banshee DIE!!! ran just fine in the yard and up and down my road, the only thing i did to it before i went up was clean the carbs. and even after that it ran fine. i didnt take it through any puddles or anything like that at all, just had it on the trailer in the rain for about half an hour. after it stopped raining we finially got up there and it took about 20-30 mins to start and even then it ran at an idle fine. so i go to go up my first hill and get half way up in 3rd gear only to have it bogg down on me so i down shifted..... same thing, and again in first. on flat surfaces it didnt bogg down but sputtered alot. so i was making my way out to the exit and i lost my lights, then it died. It started one more time after that and had no lights but it ran and about 4-5 mins later it died and wouldnt re-start. so i checked my plugs thery were good, then i checked for spark, no spark. i took a volt meter to the ignition coil and it read fine on the primary but the secondary was wide open, dead zero. tested the stator wires and they were there, but a little low . i have changed the ignition coil and still no spark. I check the new one on my friends banshee before i got it from him and it started his right up. i dont know where to go from here kind of just want to give up, but i have put too much time money and effort into it to get rid of it lol but you all have been there im sure. well any ideas would be nice thanks!!!

yagermeister_07 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Posted September 7, 2011 Lol. Yeah I already have one. Thanks Quote
volcrano Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Test ur stator.if u have a manual go thru it and check all ur electricals.spark plug caps?? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Above all don't hook up tors box. If you have the carb caps it shouldn't be on your bike anyhow. Work from stator out ohming everything, clean and di-electric grease on ALL connections and all grounds, check all switches, ohm plug caps, trim1/4" off plug wires for clean connection. Quote
yagermeister_07 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Posted September 8, 2011 ok i have spark now and didnt hook up the tors box. but now it's still not starting, CDI maybe. what happened was the main wiring harness was ran right b y the exhaust and melted the lights wire and the orange wire going from the ignition coil to the CDI. well i cut and re-connected them and now i have lights when i kick it over and i have spark. Still now starting, im getting gas air and spark, i cleaned out the carbs yet again this time i cleaned out the pilot and main jets. pilots were plugged BAD!! anyway after i try to start it the plugs are a little wet, so the gas is there. i hear it fire "sometimes" so the spark i kind of there. fouled plugs? and when i ran the volt meter everything was a little low but not bad maybe one or two off. whats next? any ideas?

Jereme6655 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 Did you by chance clean the carbs at the same time? The internal carb parts ARE side specific and can cause trouble when inter-changed. Do you have enough fuel......I know it sounds stupid but I've seen it before. Check your fly-wheel key.....it could have also sheared off. But first throw some new plugs in it! And I know im gonna catch Shit for this one....but try and bump start it with a small amount of starting fluid.... Quote
yagermeister_07 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Posted September 8, 2011 alright ill have to try new plugs and i did clean them both at the same time. also i tore the fly wheel down yesterday and the key is good i will get back to y'all tomorrow it's pay day so i can get some plugs. but does anyone think that i might have fried the CDI at all when i fried the wires with the exhaust? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Ya, new plugs won't hurt. Odds are if you have spark cdi should be fine. If you've been trying to start it a lot it could be flooded bad. I'm with Jereme, if it don't start after several kicks, give it a shot of start fluid. Quote
yagermeister_07 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Posted September 11, 2011 thanks for all the help guys!!! i got her running i changed the plug wires and plugs and it fired first kick o yeah time to tear shit up!!!!!!! Quote
