kryder Posted February 13, 2015 Report Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Banshee all of suddent runs like shit. Compression: L 147 PSI R142 PSI. When and if i can start it, it popes and smokes bad on left cylinder. It also has a bit of oil cominf out of the left pipe. If i start it and can keep it running it will pop and soon just bog and die. Reeds are fine. What should i do? I have noticed that sometimes i check spark and it doesnt have it and sometimes it does. Also have noticed a few grips of oil leak out the bottom of motor looks to be on the three cap nuts. Any advice helps Edited February 13, 2015 by kryder Quote
kryder Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Posted February 13, 2015 Just kicked it 4 times ni spark. 5th and 6th times had spark. What causes intermittent spark? Quote
Larry's Shee Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Ohm out all electricals, report back when done. Values are in the Clymers repair manual, or if you can find the pdf on here. Quote
kryder Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Posted February 14, 2015 I just layed the plug on the head. Is that not a good enough ground? Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 I'm guessing the build up of oil is from the lack of spark. Have you checked to make sure the flywheel is seated properly and not loose? A loose flywheel will cause all kinds of issues. Once you've determined that the flywheel is not the culprit, then I would move on to the electrical. Have you checked the tabs that hold the coil on? they should be bare metal to help with grounding. Generally the coil is either good or bad, I've never seen an in between. The CDI can however produce intermittent spark. Quote
kryder Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Im about to insoect the stator and the electrical setup and i notice oil/gas is leaking out of the bottom of the motor. Looks like those bolts toward the front that go straight upward? Quote
kryder Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Stator looks like it prolly had water in it at some point but nothing is disconnected or broken? Quote
kryder Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 And its like outta my motor not the pipe. Just put new gaskets and it fits fine. Quote
O/CbansheeRider Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 It's seeping out carbs and running thru drain holes in case. Then fuel evaporates and leaves the oil. Both my banshees do it to some degree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
kryder Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Does it do this because i have been kicking it alot and its filling the case up with gas? And ideas on electrical? Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 It's not leaking from the bolts, It's leaking off the bolts. Probably from the carb that is not feeding it's cylinder. Try switching complete carbs left to right and see if your problem follows. Also most stators look like that on bikes that are ridden in water, nothing leaking from the bike will cause that. Quote
J-Madd Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Could be sheared flywheel key or pick coil gap is too big. Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Shake your flywheel. .. if it rattles try a different one Quote
kryder Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Posted February 16, 2015 Flywheel keys look fine. What is the pickup spacing supposed to be? I also found out that the wire inside the plug wires was corroded and worn away. Switched carbs. Will run it later. Quote
