Banshee won't start by kick starter only by pushing?

[BigRed350x]

Yikes I have no idea how to check any of that.

 

But just buy locking it. It seems to have great compression.

 

And when it's running it runs decent.

 

Go buy a compression tester. They are $35 for a cheapo one at any auto parts store. If you don't know how to measure the above listed items you probably shouldn't be rebuilding your own top end. Not trying to be a dick, but these are some of the most basic things you should check on any banshee engine build. Where do you live? Maybe there is a bansheehq member close to you who can stop by and help you out with these things.

Its a bad stator or to wide of a pickup gap

 

How do I change stator I got another 1 from a spare engine. And. What's the pickup gap?

Using ONLY a proper Banshee/Blaster flywheel puller, not a 2-3 jaw or cobbled shit, you remove the flywheel. Inspect key, shake flywheel, if it rattles that might be your problem. Then there are 2-3 screws holding it on. Either find the download manual or break down and buy a Clymers. Where did you find the specs to put it back together? What was your ring gap? Piston clearance?

So I will have to spend money to remove fly wheel.

 

As far as specs. I went by what the shop I got cylinders bored at said.

Did you by chance happen to put the wrong bowl on the wrong carb, when putting them back together? Stock carbs are bowl specific.

Banshee and spend money ALWAYS go in the same sentence, just how it is Puller is only $20, if you can't afford that better go back to a schwinn

I don't see why I'm having trouble this is prob the 7th banshee I rebuilt. And all the others are still running fine and have had no trouble out of.

 

Te compression is great.

 

I'm in wv/ky

 

And no I took bowls off 1 by 1

Where Csn I buy puller

[fastbanshee8]

Any of the site sponsors will have a puller.

Alright 1 more question.

 

Why would it start if u pop clutch. But not kick start ?

[Jereme6655]

could be from lack of compression....seen someone get a piston in once without lining up the ring pin in the ring groove with the ring ends.......scored the shit out of the jug. i know you say it has compression.....and i could put those pistons in without rings at all and still have enough compression to fake out the "thumb test"......truth is.....you need a compression tester to actually know if you do have compression.

How much compression should I have and I'll test today

Stop what your doing and go buy a cylmer

Just ordered one. Prob won't get it till next week.

 

But I got a guy on his way to replace stator. Would a bad stator cause me to get orange spark instead of blue?

That and a bad coil. Did you check the resistance across each of the legs of your stator?

 

Like wacko said... STOP jacking with the damn thing until you have the necessary tools to check and correct the problems correctly. Get the clymer manual and see what you are supposed to be doing if you don't know.
