charlie__walsh Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 I took my bike out and was driving along at about 50 and it started to knock and died .. I kicked her over and that was it ... Kicks tarter wouldn't budge.. So do that mean it's the bottom end... If so is it worth it to do it ureself or just a hassle..? Thanks guys .. Now I no why you say they are money pits! Quote
Surfrjag Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Start tearin it appart... it could be bottom end or you could have broke a piston skirt from excessive pw clearance. Do you keep an eye on compression and keep a clean airfilter? Quote
charlie__walsh Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 Engine... Not axle ... Kick starter won't budge ... I no it's gone just wondering if that means bottom end foreshore.. Quote
charlie__walsh Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 Bike was just bought from a buddy ... No maintenance done.. He done tors removal and wasn't running right sence ... Fixed it but I don't no ... Then this... It was 120psi when I bought it... Don't no about filter... I wanna no what to do with the carbs to ... Should I just take them somewere to get fixed I want this bike back to normal... Quote
charlie__walsh Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 Figured... Can you get complete kits? Or best route? Quote
charlie__walsh Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 Ya that's the plan so far I just like to have an idea before some tells me it's totally gone and it's just a piston... New with the banshee and I no there different ... Just trying to cover all bases... Quote
Finch Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 If your asking these simple questions you'll be better off just having someone fix it for you. Maybe there's someone near you on here with a clue (not likely) that can fix it. If not bust out a few pennies and get it done Quote
charlie__walsh Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 Anyways.... The carbs any suggestions... Should I get new ones? Quote
charlie__walsh Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 Lol thanks I wanna tackle it myself but have to see what happens! Carbs.. What is it about these pwk's? Should I read into these? Quote
trickedcarbine Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Leak down before tear down. Quote
charlie__walsh Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Posted October 15, 2013 Even when it's toast...? Quote
sprinklerman Posted October 15, 2013 Report Posted October 15, 2013 Even when it's toast...? If you are doing a COMPLETE tear-down and rebuild, i wouldn't fool with a leak down test before teardown. If you are doing a top-end or bottom end only after a melt down, then yea. Quote
