tc30thz Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Ok guys need some input, I have a 2000 Banshee, Stock bore, stock Heads, V Force 3 Reeds, Stock Carbs, FMF Pipes And Silencers. Ran awesome for about a year, then one day I started it and the kicker stayed down, Then came up and busted the clutch cover and both upper and lower case. I just figured it was a kicker gear issue. I found a new to me set of cases, that were complete except for crank, rods, and pistons. I am a GM Technician by trade, so no big deal tearing it down and putting it back together with a manual. I did not see any issue with my kicker gear, but being not sure I used the kicker gear from the new cases. Worked great for almost 2 months. Then one day I started it and it did it again, broke the clutch case, and both upper and lower case. Any info Ideas appreciated before I put this thing back together again... Quote
special06shee Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 What kind of cdi are you running? Ive seen a non oem cdi actually fire the motor backwards. He busted multiple sets of cases until he figured out what was going on. 3 Quote

In all your time reassembling it, have you changed the bushing in the kicker gear? 1 Quote
tc30thz Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Posted October 12, 2015 It does have a aftermarket CDI box. And it did fire backwards one time, I started it put it in gear and it went in Reverse. Shut it down restarted it and it was fine. Everyone I told said I was crazy! Thanks for the info I will put it back together replace the bushing and get a factory CDI Quote
