kevinpress Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 I took my banshee out to pismo beach it started fine and idled first gear was good as I hit second and up it bogged unless I was in a sweet spot on the rpms once in that sweet spot if I let off than hit it again it bogged down again it won't climb any hills no matter how small and no matter what gear I'm in any idea what's wrong?

hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 24, 2019 Report Posted February 24, 2019 Over oil the air filter? What's the last thing you messed with since it ran fine? Quote
kevinpress Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Posted March 3, 2019 Nothing it came out of the shop running perfect I loaded it up 3 days later to go to pismo beach Although I had to transport it standing up to get to pismo and it took a very long time to start up once I got there Quote
SKEETER Posted March 3, 2019 Report Posted March 3, 2019 I'm a dumb hillbilly, but standing it up is gonna drain all fuel from carbs, causing it to start hard. Might check carbs out, make sure nothing worked it's way into jets. It's free to do, and eliminates a possibility.. Quote
BigRed350x Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 I agree with Skeeter, start by pulling the carbs and cleaning them. What do the plugs look like? Check compression and make sure you're not low on either cylinder. Since you just pulled it out of storage, does it have good gas in it? -Jared Quote
kevinpress Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Posted March 4, 2019 The plugs are soaked in gas every time it's hard to start my carbs were just rebuilt and cleaned when it runs it will smoke the tires it is a rocket but only one flat ground if I hit sand or a hill it's gutless Quote
BigRed350x Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Sounds like a carb issue. Maybe a stuck float from when it was standing up. Pull the carbs and clean them and start there... Pull the plugs and kick it over a few times to blow any excess fuel out of the crank area that might be trapped there. Quote
kevinpress Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Posted March 4, 2019 I have already done that several times still same issue I will try again Quote
ginger Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 is elevation about the same as your jetted for? Quote
kevinpress Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Posted March 4, 2019 I was actually curious about that because my house I'm at 2900 feet and pismo is sea level but my buddy's quad ran just fine at pismo and he lives next door he has a 86 trx 250r Quote
SKEETER Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 3k feet elevation change might require jetting change on a 2stroke... Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Especially going to the lower (leaner) elevation. Quote
kevinpress Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Posted March 4, 2019 His 250r is a 2 stroke as well and his was running flawlessly. Do you think mine being high performance would make it run like that in different elevation my buddy's quad is stock Quote
SKEETER Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Are we helping diagnose your banshee, or his 250r? Idgaf what other bikes are or are not doing. If you want to get YOUR bike running correctly, if it isnt already half melted down, then listen to the folks that have learned the hard way.. Quote
ginger Posted March 5, 2019 Report Posted March 5, 2019 honestly the mod mods the closer you have to be on jetting, stock 2 strokes are pretty choked up, so the elevation wouldn't effect it as much. I would honestly pull both carbs off, clean them good, through the pilots and everything, and see how it runs. Then see if it runs better or worse with the choke on vs off, and it can help narrow down which way you need to go. Quote
