rx7500hpt2 Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 My banshee will run perfect no problems for the first 10-15 minutes then out of nowhere it will start to loose power and cut out. Start it an hour later and it will do the same thing. Could this be a bad coil? Could heat from the pipes be messing the coil up, I have older style Paul turners which pass real close. Quote
SDD Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 The first thing I would try would be the gas cap vent hose. Make sure it's not plugged up. Take the gas cap off and make sure the little ball in the cap still rattles around freely. You might want to put a fuel filter on the supply line so you can tell if gas is going to the carbs once it dies on you. If none of this works you can try swapping the coil with a known good one and see if it dies still. Other than those things I can't think of anything off the top of my head at this time. Try that stuff first though. Quote
fixitrod Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 If those ideas don't work, measure your float height inside the carbs. It may be to low and causing it to run out of fuel. I think it would be an excellent idea for you to put an inline fuel filter that you can see through. Quote
boonman Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Or a clear line?? Also, I had a problem where the coil wire was falling off, and hampering spark at certain times.... Quote
