nitenite Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Hey.. new to the site.. great info.. anyways... . Have a 02 shee. Before carb rebuild bike started , idled but top end would bogg out n putt. Since I rebuilt carb... #1 bike won't start without a starting aid (starter fluid,carb cleaner etc) once started it will not run without choke on. Tried warming it up etc etc still nothing. As soon as I put choke in it dies 30secs later. HELP me! Tryin to get ready for the season! Quote
nitenite Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Posted March 1, 2014 What exactly am I look for with choke tube? Do they go bad? Sorry 1st time ever doing the work myself so I'm clueless lol Quote
bansheefromhell Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 It's a tube that goes between the carbs connecting them together Quote
bansheefromhell Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Don't confuse that with the crossover tube on the intake boots Quote
Larry's Shee Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Choke crossover tube. 3" piece of tube connecting carbs. Directly across from choke knob, opposit side of carb Quote
nitenite Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Posted March 1, 2014 Ahhhh gotcha goin to go check now. Now would this allow it to not start on it's own also? Quote
nitenite Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Posted March 1, 2014 It was off! Now I'm gonna try to kick it ovr n c what happens Quote
03DMshee Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 For future reference. ...do not use carb/choke cleaner to start your bike...im really surprised with the tube off your motor didnt run away on ya.... Quote
nitenite Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Posted March 1, 2014 Just put it on... Kicked it and fired right up! Boggs dwn n 1st.. no smoke at all! Lean? It's is also 15℉ outside to so.... Quote
uman1030 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 verify what jets you have but yes i would assume its most likely lean, check pilot size and main jet size and where the clip on the needle is at. Also list what your altitude is and what has been done to it. What pipes, porting, stock or milled head or dome size if cool head and style of air filters. If stock box whether it has the lid on with snorkel, lid on without snorkel., lid off entirely or pod filters. Quote
nitenite Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Posted March 2, 2014 Vforce3 reeds..fmf pipes and silencers, k&n filter, wiseco pistons .20over..stock box with snorkle.. 280main not sure pilot. Tors Elim twist throttle. Running golden spectro at 50:1 needle position is 4th. I'm n Ohio n the flat land no altitude Quote
nitenite Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Posted March 2, 2014 Ran it today.. and smokes when u first start it then goes away... Bogged going Into 1st but after that. It rips. Seems like at 1/4 throttle is when it Boggs at 3/4 or full it takes off Quote
uman1030 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 personally i wouldnt run a banshee at 50:1 at at a minimum 40:1 using a high quality 2 cycle oil. Was this the ratio you have always ran in it, did it ever run right while using this ratio? did the previous owner tell you to run this ratio? With the airbox on and the ratio of oil your running I would have to say at normal temps its very rich on the main and needle. being that you said it was 15 deg F then your probably about right for winter riding in the main area. Is there a reason you looked at the main jet size but not the pilot when they are a few millimeters away? most low end bogs are usually too small of a pilot or maladjusted air/fuel screws. try setting your air/fuel screws at around 1.5 out and verify what pilot your using. your needle could be a tad rich also on stock carbs it seems that 3rd position seems to work well in almost every application. It may not smoke much at all even when jetted properly due to such a thin oil/gas mixture Quote
nitenite Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Posted March 2, 2014 Well previous owner told me to run 53:1 as directed by bottle. But that seemed pretty damn thin. And will it b ok to change ratio. Buddy told me after I rebuild carb to stay with whatever ratio I go to. N I lied it's about 20-25℉ lol Quote
