Jram2088 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hello guys well I have a quick question my bike got recently rebuilt and the bike starts with 1 kick, I don't have ramps I have to invest in them but I have noticed when I throw the banshee off the truck the bike won't kick start unless I push start it right after that it's back to starting with 1 kick, is there a reason that is happening? Am I hurting the engine? I am investing in ramps ASAP lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Check your float height. I bet when you have it in your bed driving the floats leak fuel. Should be 21mm I think?? Easy to do. 21 is right. They give a range of 20-22 in the clymers manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 try this......ride your bike to your truck.....then shut off the engine.....THEN turn off your fuel valve.......and turn it on after you have unloaded it. Reason I say this is we have a sled up north that is built up a lot more than the average sled........BUT if you trailer it or even put it up on its lift bar to keep the track off the ground.....it will flood the cylinders so bad that we have to pull the plugs and rotate the motor to get the excess gas out in order to get it to fire. After that its back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
