Isaac_62 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 Whats up HQ? I have a 95 banshee with a 4 mill hot rods, and wiseco pistons. The bike was running rough since i first started it for the season. I live in Michigan so it sat for the winter. After cleaning the carbs, (stock) and troubleshooting i found that a reed was pushed down into the cage (right cylinder). I replaced the reeds and fired it back up. Same issue still, so i moved onto checking compression. Left cylinder is at 165 PSI and the right cylinder is at 140 PSI. Is it common for that big of a difference? Was the pushed in reed a sign that something happened to the cylinder to cause low compression? Thanks for all your help guys! Quote
70duster Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 Theres something wrong with that big of a difference. Did you do the compression test on a warm engine? I would also do a leak test to see if you dont have an intake leak somewhere too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Quote
Isaac_62 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Posted April 26, 2016 I haven't done a leak down test yet. But was planning to do so.. I did notice that the Carb (right side) was leaking between the halves, upon review it was missing a screw from the bowl.. could this be a possible problem? Compression test was on a cold engine.

Larry's Shee Posted April 26, 2016 Report Posted April 26, 2016 I would suggest retest. Make sure right slide opens all the way. Throttle WFO, kick until gàge stops moving Quote
