imateverycorner Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 Hi I have a 87 banshee That will not kickstart unless I put gas on the filter. after its warmed up and gas on the filter it kicks over everytime. It has a new top end on it.it also has procircut pipes. Before it use to kick start on first kick all the time until I blew the rings one day and was messing with the air fuel screw after that it wont start up by kicking I dont have a airbox I have direct filters to the carbs it has spark and compression. I also dont have a hose from carb to carb need help Quote
joey83 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 Did you get the air screws back where they were? May need to bump up the pilot one size for colder weather. Check choke assembly. Check choke o-ring. Quote
imateverycorner Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) I didnt get them back to were they were I dont remeber how many turns out but I currently have it at 1 and a half turn ive never messed with the choke I am cleaning the carb as soon as I get home im n florida Edited December 13, 2013 by imateverycorner Quote
joey83 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 That's a good starting point. Stock carbs? Clean carbs and check jet sizes while you're in there. May need to bump up the pilot. If they're stock I think the pilot will be a 25. Next size up is a 27.5 then 30. Stock main jets are are around 200, 210, or 220. I can't remember. Check that choke too. My carbs had a bad choke plunger and when you pulled the choke it wasn't starting because the o-ring in there wasn't blocking the choke circuit. Quote
imateverycorner Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Posted December 13, 2013 I noticed one time recent when I rode in first gear I pulled the chock all the way out wile in 1st gear it had a lil hesitating it has .100 bore I believe stock carbs far as jets idk how do I identify Quote
Starwriter Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 I also dont have a hose from carb to carb Duh! There's your problem. Put the choke tube on between the carbs. Quote
imateverycorner Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Posted December 13, 2013 So if I put a tube from carb to carb it will kick over and run ? Because it runs without it Quote
Starwriter Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Here's a pic of the choke tube. Put the damn thing in. Edited December 13, 2013 by Starwriter Quote
imateverycorner Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Posted December 13, 2013 A universal tube will do? Quote
Starwriter Posted December 13, 2013 Report Posted December 13, 2013 It's just rubber hose. It's not rocket science. Just make sure it fits. Quote
imateverycorner Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Posted December 13, 2013 K I will try it Quote
imateverycorner Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Posted December 13, 2013 Thx starwriter and joey83 it worked cleaned out the carb and put that hose on and it cranked up n ran 1 Quote
