banshee stopped running

[2005shee]

well I went on my first trail ride today and I rode all day without anything going wrong. but when we got back to the truck I let my friend ride it and when he got back it idled for a second and then shut off and it started back but ran like crap and wouldn't rev and died back out. I brought it home and it wouldn't start at all. it isn't anything he did to it because he took it really easy down pavement but it went from running fine to not at all without any signs of anything going wrong. also at one point theright carbs slide stuck and revved out but it went down and didn't do it again. also I tried rollstarting it and it just backfired real loud. I took the carbs off and they were fine. jetting is pretty good its a little rich im assuming because its a darker brown but the temperature has been changing by like 20 degrees everyother day here so ive not messed with it.

Did you run out of gas?

[2005shee]

no that's what I thought at first too haha. but I also checked the air hose between the carbs and I checked compression 2 weeks ago and it was good but ill check again tomorrow. I looked at the reeds too and didn't notice anything bad but idk for sure.

[sheerider11]

Did you burn the harness on the exhaust stinger? I did that and a backfire happened and took out my reeds

[2005shee]

youll have to tell me what youre talking about by the exhaust stinger harness.

[sheerider11]

On the right side of the bike (sitting on it) the harness runs right along the airbox. Pretty close to the exhaust, have seen a handful burn up right there.

[2005shee]

ill have to check it tomorrow and ill let you know, im done with it for tonight. anything else to look at while im at it?

[sheerider11]

Is the tors hooked up? Or the parking brake? They keep the bike from revving

[2005shee]

no both are disconnected.

[sheerider11]

Well I'd double check all the electrical real good.

[sheerider11]

Check the reeds, carbs and the normal shit. It shouldn't be to complicated.

[2005shee]

ok I will and thanks for helping

well I got out today and it started up and idled okay for a minute. but then I put it in gear and I don't know what the #%!@ is going on it started going in reverse and popping. I tried it a couple times and it still did it in 2nd gear then it died and wont start back know. do you guys think it could be cdi or timing?
