SD1026 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 banshee hasn't run in two years but is garage kept. I cleaned the carbs,new plugs ,checked for spark ,new gas, cleared fuel lines , kick it and nothing at all no sign of life at all. I have compression in both cylinders, took a light and looked through the spark plug holes and the exhaust ports and looks clean.. I need a fresh opinion. my next step is to swap cdi but I do have strong spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey83 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just bc it has spark doesnt mean its right. but my guess woukd be a fuel problem since it sat for 2 yrs. Shoot some carb cleaner or gas in carbs and see if it starts then dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 You say it has compression. Did you actually do a compression test? If not, start there. If compression is over 110 and spark is good, it has to be fuel. Plugged petcock screen, or plugged pilot jets. Did you take the jets out, clean them, blow air through them, and LOOK through them? Or a squirrel filled your pipes with acorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1026 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Carbs are 101% clean and clear . Tried carb cleaner to maybe get a little life but it was a fail. I did not try to poor gas in the carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Did you completely disassemble carbs, or called a quick douce with spray clean? I use compressed air to be sure every passage is open. JMHO, your results may, and will vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANSHEE CHAOS Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I can't imagine having a Banshee in the garage and not riding it for 2 years! My apologies if you have been incarcerated or something. But I agree with the gas in the carbs. A couple squirts apiece should do it. Oh! Trying shooting a little WD40 in the cylinders first! Actually happened to me about 20 years back after I ringed my old KX80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1026 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 ok I put gas in the carbs and sprayed gas in with a squirt bottle nothing? if the cdi is bad or unplugged would I still get spark ? just wondering what would prevent it from starting . it obviously isn't a fuel problem now that I sprayed gas inside the carbs. if the kill switch was bad there would be no spark right?

BANSHEE CHAOS Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Try squirting WD40 in the spark plug holes. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 rings stuck from sitting so long, something in the exhaust port plugging that up. reeds stuck closed from sitting so long. use starting fluid, take the airbox off and hold throttle wide open, use a blow gun and shoot air down the carbs use fresh plugs. if it backfires and blows up your shop too bad if you have strong blue spark at .22 your cdi is not bad.

Starwriter Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 SD1026 finally did a compression test and came up with 90 and 65. He started a new thread about stuck rings. Just as I suspected, "I have compression" doesn't mean they actually did a compression test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1026 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yes the bottom ring on both cylinders are stuck. Trying or more like hoping I. An get them to free up with some type of chemical. If not guess the top end will be coming off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
