richb Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 I have a 97 banshee that fires up on the 1st or 2nd kick. As it warms up during a ride, it sputters/cuts out under any condition. As it gets hot, it completely dies. After a 1 to 2 minute cooling period, it fires back up until it gets hot again then dies etc. etc. Any ideas other than a new stator? Iam running a new top end with a cool head and 18cc domes. TORS removed, 300 jets, and race fuel 50/50 with pump. I have the K&N filter and T-5s. I do all of my riding in the dunes and tend to ride on the fast side. Pretty much, the more the bike warms up, the worse it runs until it finally dies. It is not overheating and starts up again after a breif cool down. The carbs and filter are both clean and the stator appears to be fine. Hope this helps. Quote
Klotz Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 i have no clue..could be fouled spark plugs..but i dont know alot about 2-srokes only 4..try postin in some other sections if you dont get any other replies Quote
evil Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 what size jets are you running ? does it go when its first warmed up ? are you riding it slow or fast ? if fast, the airflow should keep it from overheating. do you have a temp guage on it ? is the tors system disconnected ? i can think of alot of things it could be. but well try to eliminate the easy cheap fixes first. another Q do you have a key on it ?
