biglaaa Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 First off Id like to say this is my first official post pertaining to a problem with my banshee . Have a 1997 stock engine pro circuits carbs jetted 30 and 300 no lid New York . Ran fine no problems 3rd kick start all the time .. Had a friend who does mechanic work strip my bike to powder coat the frame . Bike was put back together right , fluids changed etc . Upon completion the kickstart got jammed in between gears (never happened before) that provlem was resolved . Now she doesn't start at all .. I rode it to my friends shop fine .. There is spark oil etc . After this problem I redrained oil and found metal shavings .. But all looks good under the crank case .. My friend said he tried starting it before I got there and he possibly may have flooded engine the first time after he put her back together .. Anything ? I'm planning on checking compression in the morning but any suggestions ? Thanks Quote
biglaaa Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Posted September 25, 2014 Bike ran fine whn I drove it prior to frame powdercoat.: after that was done and the bike was put back together , that's when the kick start got locked/jammed .. Anywhere to start would really help ! Thanks in advanced Quote
trickedcarbine Posted September 25, 2014 Report Posted September 25, 2014 Pretty Un clear..... But ok. Either kicker side is assembled wrong, or either piston has seized, possibly even the crank letting to and bound up some how. Quote
biglaaa Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Posted September 26, 2014 Engine was just taken off of frame and then put on crate and back in frame after powder coat .. I'll check the assembly of the kicker in the morning .. Can a piston have seized from not even ridin ? Last ride was right before the strip down Quote
biglaaa Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Posted September 26, 2014 Compression is fine .. Can it be the kick starter inside the clutch side ? Quote

Larry's Shee Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 kicker idler gear is fucked up Quote
sleeper06 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 If that's the case I have 100s of internal parts let me know Quote
timothy kaim Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 I just had the same problem kick starter wouldn't move pull the clutch side case off and the clutch was fucked up.Pull the side case Quote
biglaaa Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Posted September 26, 2014 @sleeper Im in brookkyn new york .. Quick question . From last week ( bike started on 2-3rd kick ) till now , without riding the bike or anything .. Can the compression drop so much that it's unstartable ? If she was starting last week with low compression wouldn't she start again today ? My cousin said he tested compression last week and it was at 90 , today he said its at 25 Quote
biglaaa Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Posted September 26, 2014 Is it possible my mechanic from flooding the engine and kicking 50-70 times that he could have blew a piston ? .. I rode the bike fine last week and conoression was at 100 .. He did a compression test today and she is at 25?! Quote
sleeper06 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 Well 90 Isn't good at all and that whole clutch side looks fucked too I would split it check crank and go through everything with a fine tooth comb Quote
biglaaa Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Posted September 26, 2014 Thank you guys , changing Pistons today and doing a cylinder swap as well .. Appreciate the help .. !!! Let's see if this changes the current situation Quote
trickedcarbine Posted September 27, 2014 Report Posted September 27, 2014 ^ you read the part where an actual shop owner told you to split cases right? Never mind, it'll be fine with a new top end. See ya here in a week.... 1 Quote
biglaaa Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Posted September 27, 2014 A shop owner told me to split cases due to the pictures that were posted .. Those pictures of which are NOT MINE and someone else posted but thank you @tricked Quote
