Banshee_Babe Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 I have a 1989 bansee. She ran GREAT until recently. A few weeks ago while at the dunes it seemed like the power delivery was off. It sounded like wah wah wah wah not us usual (If that makes sense) Later that day I parked it and it would only turn over then die as soon as I went to 2nd or pressed to much on the throttle. So i replace the top end (had some piston slap) that didnt fix it, replaced the electrical (except CDI) and nothing. replaced flywheel and stater. It will almost fire but wont run does this sound like the CDI is out? Or something I missed? Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 First we're gonna need pics of you wearing little to nothing. Secondly, how do you know it had piston slap? Did you measure the bores? Did you have it bored? Stock carbs? If so is the choke tube on? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 1 Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 HaHa, But that's pretty much his standard greeting. As for the OP's problem, Cdi's have been known to do some crazy stuff lately. Easy to swap if someone would loan you one to check. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Compression test. Leak down. Carbs cleaned? Tors and parking brake deleted? Proper plugs? Quote
locogato11283 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Swap the CDI. They can work intermittently. Quote

Nightmare Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Was the electrical stuff that got replaced OEM? Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk Quote
Banshee_Babe Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Posted May 25, 2016 Top end is oem. Reeds are good. Tors and parking break removed. Compression good. Have not checked carbs but I'm going to when I get home and borrow a cdi from a friend Quote
locogato11283 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Posted May 26, 2016 It's not that hard to find pics of her. I found them in about 7 seconds. Quote
