Don't know why. But I ALWAY just ASSUME no one runs toes anymore. Lol

Tors delete yes brand new carbs

Yeah unless you have a fully stock banshee Tors is the first to go. Hahaha lol.

Need to do a leak down test... Could be a base gasket or a crank seal. Leak down will let you know for sure if it's an air leak. THAT is what I would do before going any further... Personally..

Stupid question how do you do a leak down test on this

[Pinkylee]

Look up videos from South Texas Banshee.... Has great instructional videos..

He sells leak down kits... Or you can just build your own.

I just asked the same question the other day. You need the correct equipment. cover the exhaust and one of the carb boots. The gauge and pump go into the other carb boot. Make sure both plugs are tight and pump to six psi. I believe(cant remember exactly.) it should hold six psi for a full minute to be perfect.

It's not stupid question. You need to have kit with rubber plugs,caps and pressure gauge.

Yeah they told me to look up his videos too. When your doing the test. If the psi doesnt hold pull the vent hoses to the bottom end and put some soapy water over them. There should be no bubbles coming out of them.

And not a stupid question at all.. Very important to do leak down on a banshee motor.. Something you'll want to know.

Rooienga has got it right except it should be 6 psi for 6 mins. While not loosing more than 1 psi.

Thats what I thought but that sounded to long. But I thought it was exceptable/spec was to lose no more than one psi a minute. Not one psi total.

Once you have done a leak down. It should be easier to track down the issue.. Report back then... Gotta get some sleep now... Good luck.
