Just rebuilt cannot get banshee to run

[Tag05]

So I bought this banshee from a friend, needed a new top end 

so I put a new top end, reeds, intake boots, rebuilt carbs, Cdi box, spark plugs 

it has spark, it’s getting fuel, the tors is already deleted , I already ohmd out the stator, the key is already bypassed 

It sounds like it wants to fire occasionally but never will 

is there something I’m missing 

[375hp banshees]

oem/ genuine:  cdi, cylinders, carbs?

carb bowls on correct carb, crossover tube on, slides in correct, rats nest in pipes, pick up gap, good ground...,...

[Tag05]

Oem cylinders .40 over

Oem carbs 30 pilot, 300 main at 150 ft elevation  1 1/2 turns out on air/ fuel screw,

oem Cdi and also have a brand new Vito’s Cdi 

carb bowl with starter jet is on the left carb with chock nob, cross over tube is on  nothing in the pipes, checked ground 

finally got it to run for a few seconds with starting fluid and would rev out  but quickly died out      

 I was thinking to go make a leak down tester?

[375hp banshees]

If it'll run on spray, i'd look at why you're not getting fuel to cyl's next. And yes always do a leakdown test after topend.

[hoppedupandcutdown]

The air jet and the pilot jet are externally identical, Be sure the air jet (in the air horn) is a 1.6 (much bigger than a pilot), that is what draws air to draft fuel on start up.

So i did a leak down test and I had a air leak at the base gasket.      Fixed it. Holding 5 psi now.     Still same issue   She wants to fire, I can hear it,  but never will 

[375hp banshees]

You've got to find out why its not getting fuel

[silversmg45]

Are you 100 percent sure you put gas in it and the petcock is flowing fuel? 

[Tag05]

Yes it is getting fuel the spark plugs are wet  

ive tried putting back in the 25 pilot again to see if maybe it’s getting to much fuel but that hasn’t made a difference 

[silversmg45]

What is compression on the cylinders?

[Tag05]

150 per cylinder 

[gusto]

What pipes? Has it been ported? What’s the condition of the reeds?

[Tag05]

Reeds are brand new  vforce 4

bills expansion chambers

fmf turbine core 2

no port

vitos superstock pistons 

so I just made some progress  the original Cdi is bad   I had checked spark again for prob the 50th time and realized that it wasn’t producing enough so I thru on the Vito’s cdi and plenty enough spark 

bike started.     Now I just need to figure out the correct jetting

i believe I just had was jumbling to many problems that made it all clustered   Between bad cdi ,air leak at the base gasket , and the fact that I have just bought this and haven’t actually had it run smoothly for me to start a base line with

Nice. Good progress
