David1381 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Hi I'm new to two strokes I recently bought an 06 banshee, and so far I'm in love!!!! when I bought it from a local dealer, when I take off on first it sounds like its gonna die unless I really rev it good but it only does that in first gear was wondering If that's normal or something's wrong? I heard from two friends that that's how banshees are any help please Quote
bansheefromhell Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 is it sputtering or hesitating, or does the engine just get quiet when you ease off the clutch? Quote
David1381 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Posted February 3, 2013 It sounds like gurgling and it hesitates a Lil on take off then I rev it and bamm! Hauls ass Quote
David1381 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Posted February 3, 2013 It's like I need to rev it really good before I let out the clutch if not it'll stall Quote
bansheefromhell Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 could be a number of things, what kind of upgrades does it have?, is it hard to start?, tors removed?have you done a compression test?. I bought a 97 a couple of years ago and it did the same thing, turns out it was worn out low compression. it still ran good on top but had no low to mid Quote
WaynokaBanshee Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Are you letting it warm up properly and or leaving the choke on? Quote
04zSpittinKlotz Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 its running lean on the pilot jets, turn air screws in a few 1/2 turns do not bottom them out! and try it again 2 Quote
David1381 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Posted February 3, 2013 Yea it usually turns on with second kick, but usually dies if I don't rev it a Lil so when I let it heat up for about 5 min I take it on a little run nothing more the 1/4 throttle then when I can feel it heating up I let loose. I put fmf pipes today but see it was doing that even when it was stock so how could it be running lean? I would say compression no? Is it hard to fix? Quote
David1381 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Posted February 3, 2013 Plus I have a month warranty on the quad at the dealership if it's something serious so I can take it before the warranty ends Quote
04zSpittinKlotz Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 it could be running lean from the cold weather., dont know where you are... if you put pipes on you definitely need to re jet this should help you, -banshee jetting- http://www.dfn.com/agservices/jetfaq.html Quote

David1381 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Posted February 3, 2013 Also gas is leaking from the carb tubes sorry about all this I'm new to 2 strokes and I get paranoid and wanna fix the problem quick! Never had these problems on my 4 strokes that's why I'm asking a lot of questions hopefully I get the help should I clean the carbs? Maybe that's why I'm getting that hesitation in first? Quote
04zSpittinKlotz Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 read that link! jeez fuel leaking out the overflow tubes is due to the floats sticking or not adjusted 1 Quote
