Jdog1 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I bought me a 2006 banshee two weeks ago. The next day after checking my fluids and plugs I went to the beach for a ride. I started my bike warmed it up. I kinda just road around easy and hit a couple tree shouts I figured it was warmed up and decided to see what it had. Went through all the gears wide open. When I got to the 5th one it died out. Totally bogged down and sounded like it was banging. I turned it off and towed it back. After doing some simple checks I don't have any compression on the right side Fouled the plug on the same side. The plug melted tip and the porecilin inside. Does anybody have any ideas why this might happen. I can put all the new parts on the top end to make it Run again. But I don't want it to happen again right away. Thx. Quote
dirtydownunder Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 While it's together, you can make a leak down tester and check for air leaks. While the carbs are off, pull the bowls off and check for dirt and see what jets are in there. What are the compressions ? Quote
Jdog1 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 I checked the bowls and float looked great. Carbs seem to be synced. I didn't know how to tell what jets I have. My has a leak down test kit. Gonna try that this weekend. Stock motor/carbs. No tors. I keep hearing its gonna be one my crank seals. Quote
Jereme6655 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 well....you melted the motor. Yup...burned it down. If you fouled the plug and at the same time your right cylinder does not have compression.....then I would say there is a good chance your crank seal on the right is the culprit. Look at your tranny fluid.....it low? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 by off chance do you have a boost bottle on it? 1 Quote
