RX-B Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 Hello banshee HQ members. I'm new to post on this forum but have seen the great help everyone gives. I have a problem, my shee was working fine The bike was riding normal from when I unloaded it and all of a sudden the power and won't kick in. No mods have been done to the bike nor have I touched anything prior to the problem started. Has anyone experienced this. Help would be much appreciated thanks in advanced. Quote
RX-B Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Posted May 24, 2015 It is a 2010 banshee, no mods. I bought it 2 months ago first 2 stroke ever owned. Was riding around waiting for the other bikes to get ready so we can take off on bush trails. So it happened 10mins after having it on and working fine. Prior to that I noticed bit of fuel coming out of my carb over flow when fuel was off. Quote
sheerider11 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Posted May 24, 2015 did you mix the gas correctly? is the gas in the on position? do you have access to a compression tester? Quote
Tommilicious Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 Check the rubber tube between the two carbs is in place. Should go straight across from each carb to the other. I bought a "banshee that wont run right" from a guy on craigslist one time where that exact thing happened. Made the banshee run like crap with no power. Id next check spark plugs, followed by gas (use premium 93 or 91 octane at 32:1 mix - ethanol free if available) From there id check simple things like air filter/boots on carbs/ jets on carb/ fuel line etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
RX-B Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Posted May 25, 2015 Fuel mixture is correct as I did it twice thinking that was the problem but it ain't but I will get all The other parts checked. Thanks Quote

Larry's Shee Posted May 29, 2015 Report Posted May 29, 2015 ive only had the bike for 2 month and havnt pull nothing apart but will be taking off the carbs today. ill keep you updated. thanks. Do them one at a time as some parts are specific to that carb, but will fit on wrong carb, then will be trying to sort that mess out. Be sure you can see through main and pilot jet. Pull main jet holder/emulsion tube, little holes on side of it. Make sure air will blow through all passages. Set float height very important !! Write down main and pilot sizes, you/we will need to know later. While carbs are off, you are halfway to doing a leak test (hint) Quote
RX-B Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Posted June 3, 2015 Thanks everyone for the help. I pulled the carbs out gave them a good clean and bingo it's running good again. Quote

RX-B Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Posted June 3, 2015 It's actually revving pretty high, I thought it was revving high to warm up but even after warming up it still revs high. Any ideas gents.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
