BansheeMan66 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 My banshee will start up first kick no problems. But once it warms up i go to ride it and when i hit high rpm's it sputters. i have no idea whats wrong, I've been on this problem for a while and finally decided to hit the forum and ask for help. it has vforce 2 reeds, stock air box and filter. other than that its stock.

special06shee Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Could be tons of things, poor jetting, bad stator, broken ground wire, plug caps, coil wire, pick up gap... Id start with things that are the easiest and free. Unscrew plug caps from coil wire and trim 1/4" off wire. Then check wiring for and broken wire, check pick up gap.. If that doesnt fix problem start looking at other things i mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeMan66 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 well few things to check! first off have you pulled the carbs off or anything? Pull carbs, clean them thoroughly. inspect jets (whats your current jetting at) Sync carbs. Do you still have TORS? I don't have the tors on it but the little black box under my tank is still plugged in. Do I need to remove it if the tors is removed? And the carbs are synced and the carbs have been cleaned before. I'm not sure what jets are in it but I have fmf powercore 2 pipes. Would that make me have to change the main or pilot jet size? It's my first quad that I've owned so I'm really new to working on the whole bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeMan66 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 if tors is removed you def need to unplug the box and pipes will change jetting requirements in most bikes okay. That's a start. If I unplug it do I just leave it alone or to I cut the wires and put them together? I'm not near the bike now but I believe the jets are all stock.

foxrider603 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 If i remember correctly fmf Recommends 270 mains an 27.5 pilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uman1030 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 okay. That's a start. If I unplug it do I just leave it alone or to I cut the wires and put them together? I'm not near the bike now but I believe the jets are all stock. You can just leave it unplugged and just leave it alone. You could at least tape them up so they cant get debris in it or make contact with anything. Some people like to "clean up" the harness. Cut all the useless shit off and remove plugs and wires they don't need and tape up or shrink wrap it to make a cleaner looking harness. Also one of the sponsors offers premade harnesses shipped to your door in many different styles http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=171455&p=1542180 If i remember correctly fmf Recommends 270 mains an 27.5 pilot FMF recommends 30/260/3rd clip http://www.fmfracing.com/RiderSupport/JettingCenter but these recommendations are most likely for a completely stock airbox. I run 30/300/3rd clip with FMF fatty's +4 timing on a stocker myself with good success.(W/no airbox lid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowit Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Drop your plug gap from the factory .028 to .020 and report back. Brandon Mull Engineering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 ^ simple fix to many machines I've tinkered with that had firing issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeMan66 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I unplugged the box, now the dang thing won't start at all. I checked everything. Kicked it numerous times. Then I plugged it in and it didn't start either. It seems I'm going backwards lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeMan66 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 carbs are all set up properly? did you check your ground ? fuel on? is it getting spark? i am getting spark. the carbs are set up properly. i switched the bowls once but they aren't switched this time. ive never checked the ground or stater. could it be that causing the bike to not start?

blowit Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Did you ever drop the plug gap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett131 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I had a main jet fall out before it would start up and run like shit...I doubt its your problem though but you could always check that too its nice and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeMan66 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Okay. I set the plug gpa at .020. Checked ground. Everything looked fine. I tried starting it. No luck. I took the carbs of and noticed my reed cage wiggled a bit when it was tightened down. Is that supposed to move? I have vf2 reeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
