nightmarebanshee Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 need some help guys..just a few things about my banshee t5 pipes fresh top end uni air filter with lid vents 280 mains and stock pilots...it doesnt have the pull it should in lower gears i tried to rip it up.a hill in 1st and 2nd and it just bogged out but when im on a straight away it opens up and hits powerband through 4th sometimes 5th and 6th it falls on its face..just replaced ignition coil...im in jerseyville illinois and it was 75 degrees yesterday when i rode it...could it be a clutch issue? or main jet?

nightmarebanshee Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Posted April 8, 2013 also it doesnt have enough ass to pop a wheelie either? my old banshee would pull up the front through 4th...the one i have now doesnt have as much done to it but it should still pull up some...its been an ongoing battle with this thing for awhile just need some help guys...it has new reeds as well and got rid of tors forgot to put that in post above Quote
nightmarebanshee Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Posted April 8, 2013 pickup gap is where? down by stator? Quote
nightmarebanshee Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Posted April 8, 2013 so would that limit the powerband? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Make sure nubs on flywheel are clean. Check gap at both nubs. Are carbs clean like virgin pussy or 8 mile hooker? Retorque after heat cycles? Even though new top end, what's the compression? What does the spark look like? Have you ohmed coil and plug caps? Check all connections? Clean bare metal at coil mount or seperate ground for it? Quote
nightmarebanshee Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Posted April 9, 2013 see what i dont understand is that it uses the same amount of fuel wot in 1-4 as it does in 5th and 6th right? it doesnt sense what gear it just knows throttle position ill have a chance to take a look at it tomorrow and im gonna try and build a leak down tester or see if the shop by me has one. might have the guy that owns the shop take it for a spin and see what he thinks Quote
nightmarebanshee Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Posted April 9, 2013 im leaning towards a jetting problem might go down to 270s on main Quote
nightmarebanshee Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Posted April 9, 2013 i got a new coil for it ill ohm it out and check the spark thanks for the help jesse ill let you know what happens tomorrow! Quote
nightmarebanshee Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Posted April 10, 2013 ill check that too it might have gotten bumped out of time while working on the engine..i think i remember seeing the plate for it if its out of time what should it be set at? Quote
nightmarebanshee Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Posted April 11, 2013 well i think i got a couple.bugs figured out...got to looking at ignition coil.and the ground was spliced in 2 spots so i got rid of one splice and cleaned carbs again real good. i can hit wot 3rd 4th and doesnt cut out but 1st and 2ndi lose a cylinder and it follows the plug boot when i move it. havnt checked pickup gap or done compression test thats next on my list and i also might move my main up to 290-300 Quote
nightmarebanshee Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Posted April 11, 2013 yeah it follows it...i havnt ohmed it out im gonna do that tonight. the compression shouldnt be bad i would. think with a fresh top end it starts first or second kick everytime. Quote
nightmarebanshee Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Posted April 11, 2013 im leaning towards and electrical problem still...does anyone have a cdi that they know works and could mail it to me? id pay for shipping both ways? i dont want to buy a new one and have that not fix the problem..if not its fine i understand Quote
