jamienash1985 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 So I was out ripping and for some reason when I was shifting to third gear my bike went in neutral and revved up really high with no throttle. And stayed high till I shut the engine off. Wtf. Why is this happening. It happened 3 times to me. Once even when I hit the kill switch she didn't want to shut down. Sounds like she wanted to blow up. After I shut the bike off. She started first kick. Ran fine. Anyone know what this issue is from? Quote
sprinklerman Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Could be stuck slides or frayed cable. Quote
camp0429 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Make sure your cable has enough slack so when you turn it don't put tension on the cable Quote
jamienash1985 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Posted May 21, 2015 No didn't hit water. Running her in my back field. Cables are new. But the carb is likely pretty dirty. I just got her. Its also got a 330 main jet. Not sure if that has anything to do with it Quote
98_sheester Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Take your carbs and clean them and your air filter/filters and make sure the slides are in correct Quote
jamienash1985 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Posted May 21, 2015 What are slides? Sorry. I know some but not lots about these bikes. I usually pay someone to tinker with my toys. Lately I've been trying myself. Is it easy to remove the carbs? Quote
98_sheester Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 Yes get a clymers and slides are what control your throttle in the carbs and yes very easy to take out Quote
Larry's Shee Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 Once even when I hit the kill switch she didn't want to shut down. Sounds like she wanted to blow up. Anyone know what this issue is from? That is known as a "runaway", or auto-ignition, plug gets so hot it's like a glow plug. Mostly caused by a lean condition. Hold brake, shift into gear, dump clutch to stall it. Highly suggest doing a leak test!! Quote
jamienash1985 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Posted May 22, 2015 How would I do a leak test? Someone else told me could be an air leak aswell Quote
camp0429 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 Any questions you got; go to google, type question, followed by banshee hq I doubt there is anything that you can't find the answer too this way Quote
jamienash1985 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Posted May 22, 2015 So I pulled off my seat and noticed my left carb was wet looking. Almost looks like it's coming from the choke. Maybe that has something to do with it? 1 Quote
Larry's Shee Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 Banshees don't actually have a "choke", it's an enrichening circut in carb. Quote
jamienash1985 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Posted May 23, 2015 Could someone text or call me? I know it sounds crazy but now its worse. FML!! 16132623822 Quote
