TexasQuad Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 Sup Everyone, I have a 2003 banshee Pretty much stock besides pipe and filter. Today I ran it for about 15 minutes, it ran perfect.. I loaded it up and took it down to the drag strip and when i tried to start it it started but will not rev up. just does a noise (best i could explain it) "Bob...Bob...Bob...Bob...Bob...Bob...Bob...Bob...Bob) where its supposed to make the normal noise (best i can explain) "nin...nin...nin...nin...nin...nin...nin...nin...nin...nin...nin)..... I thought it was the gas. but just about 2 hours earlier it was running perfect... I tried to drive it but it wouldn't never rev up.... Got it home and took the carb bowl off and made sure the jets were clear....pulled the Reeds to check for cracks in them... looked good best to my knowledge..... put it all back to gether and was doing the exact same.... I made sure all my wiring was connected good.... it was... so now i'm down to asking some experts out there....or even amatures out there...Problem is....I dont have 1 banshee doing this... I have 2.I just purchased one.. it was sitting up for about 8 months then i just tried to start it (its a 2000) it does the same.... weird how my 2003 just started this tonight... Any help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks, DERRICK Quote
Tim C Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 There is some kind of a saftey thing on the newer Banshee's that there is an electric switch on the parking brake that won't allow it to rev with the brake on. The switch could be stuck. Quote
erbilabuc Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 I agree with TIM C and I think its your parking brake switch. Wiggle the parking brake lever and see if that does anything Quote
