Spiner Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Got my banshee out yesterday and tried to start it , wouldn't start at all so I push started it , ran perfect.When I turned the engine off to put fuel and wash my glasses out I thought it won't start , but it started like it used to do(engine was still warm). Today it wouldn't start on cold engine , push started it and runs perfect , starts on warm engine no problem. One of my spark plug wires is broken but I put it back into place and secured it. Also when I turn the choke on the quad slowly dies , the rev's go down until it bogs down? Any help? Will be very grateful for help. Quote
oldskool Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Might need to do a compression check. They can be hard to cold start when compression gets low. 1 Quote
Spiner Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 Compression is good , not that problem , when the engine is running and I pull the choke out it dies too.Engine warm no problem starting , idles great. Quote
ETR174 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 Pull your pilots and clean them out. Also use half choke when starting. On my bike full choke is too much fuel and it doesnt start. I use half choke and 1 kick everytime. 1 Quote
trickedcarbine Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 It's cold, so it's not starting. That means the bike is telling you something..... When it gets cold the air is denser. That means the bike is getting more air. When you have more air, you need more (XXXX)? 1 Quote
Spiner Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Posted January 6, 2015 Fuel. It started without any trouble today , don't know what's up but when I drove it , it had no power , after about 2 minutes of drive , everything is back to normal now. Quote

Spiner Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks , I'm very happy now Just started it again on cold , 1st kick like it used to be. Although it would be nice to know what was causing the issue. Quote
