350shee01 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 I have an 01 Banshee 350 that's bone stock. The previous ownwer didn't take of it at all. It won't start by kicking it over, only by being pushed or pulled. I recently rebuilt the carbs on it and it wasn't running/idling right after that. I let it set for a few days and now it won't even start by kicking or pushing it. If/when it does by pushing it, it seems like the throttle response is off and its low on power. I recently changed the reeds, reed gaskets, spark plugs and fuel filter in it. Any help on getting it started would be greatly appreciated. Also, it has 290 mains and a 27.5 pilot after I rebuilt the carbs. My fuel/oil ratio is at 40:1 right now, and the idle screw is about 1 1/2 turns out right now. Quote
foxrider603 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Do a compression test. Sounds like its time for a rebuild Quote
foxrider603 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 If your bone stock why are you running such large jets? Quote
350shee01 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Posted May 25, 2014 That's what I thought, I haven't had a chance to get the kit to do so. What's the stock compression supposed to be at? I've heard anywhere from 115-135psi? My last banshee had 165/side. I'm running them so big becuase I'm 712ft above sea level, and that's also what the banshee shop recommended, and that's what came in the carb rebuild kit for my shee. It has mikuni VM26SS carbs on it, which are stock. Quote
special06shee Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Stock jetting is 200.. Your way too big on mains.. A tight stock motor should be 120ish Quote
350shee01 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Posted May 25, 2014 Ok, I thought I was way too big. I'll try to get some new mains after the weekend and do a compression test. I'll post results then after I get it all said and done. Until then, if there's any more info I can get, it's much appreciated. Quote
special06shee Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Id put a 25pilot(stock size) back in too. Quote
350shee01 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Posted May 26, 2014 I put a TORS eliminator kit on it, so it can't be the TORS. I haven't checked compression yet, I'll be doing that when I get off work at 6am. If the compression is good and I go back to stock jets, what else could it be? Quote
foxrider603 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 Are you positive your getting good spark? Quote
350shee01 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Posted May 26, 2014 As far as I know I am, I'll check that when I do my compression test tomorrow. Sent from my PM23300 using Tapatalk Quote
350shee01 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Posted May 28, 2014 Well, I got it running but now I just have to retune my carbs to keep it running. The compression checked out. Both sides were 128psi. Thanks for all the help and info. Sent from my PM23300 using Tapatalk Quote
