Engine Problems

[SURFRIDER53]

I am having a problem starting my banshee. it has been sitting for about 8 months. with a little help from some carb cleaner it finally starts. it will not idle at all. it fires on one cylinder ok but is very speratic on the other, i have cleaned the living hell out of the carbs and still my problem persists. people have suggested that i have a vaccum problem and others have said that it might be a cdi unit. also when i give it throttle it sounds very throughty and the rpms dont increase all that much. It is spitting alot of oil out of the pipes and and spewing alot of smoke. any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated

New plugs, NEW GAS, check fuel flow from the tank, check TORS connections {if connected at all} if that doesn't work, check to make sure your pipes haven't been plugged up with mouse nesting.

If you had your carbs apart for cleaning make sure you hokked your choke tube back on .!!!

[National Banshee]

If any two stroke with premix fuel sits for any length of time, the pilot jets in the carb will varnish shut. The gas evaporates but the oil and fuel additives remain and act like glue. Make shure you remove the pilots and clean them by running a small wire through them. A banshee is very prone due to its small pilot jet size. Need For Speed made a good point, Watch that you hooked up the choke hose between the two carbs.

Mine is doing the same exact thing, word for word.

 

After sitting for about 2 months, barly runs, smokes, backfires I also have the oil comming from the tailpipes and I have fouled a few sets of pulgs trying to get it to run.

 

let me know what fixes yours.

 

Also where is theis "hole" or jet (or whatever that guy said) that gets varnished up? maybe thats my problem?

 

Thank you,

take what caps off?

 

also how do you prevent this varnashing from hapening?

 

I ride all the time in the summer, but hardly ever in the winter, also for some reason this never happened to me last winter..

[alaskabanshee]

if you have stock pipes take the ends off for a bit and run it

and if you put it up for the winter you need to start it up alast 2 times a weak

If it's a newer model you might want to tighten the parking brake if you still have it. I live in Sabre Springs if you want to swing it by my place I'll get it running.

you also might try swapping the plug wires to opposite cylinders to make sure its not an electrical problem. Only takes a second.

 

I always drain my carbs at the end of the season to lessen the chances that crap will build up in the jets.

 

SDD knows his shit he fixed my bike up all nice and running so if you can't figure it out I would let him help

[SURFRIDER53]

SSD.......I recently blocked off the parking brake but i'm really not sure what to do with the electrical portion of it. do i remove the wiring or just leave it there. and how can i get ahold of you if i need your help????

[SURFRIDER53]

Sorry i meant SDD!!!!
