Wtf Is Up With My 'shee

[mavguy]

Here's the story. Im out quadding in brule, by hinton, canada, when my quad runs outta gas. Any attempt to start it thereafter is pointless. even on reserve. Occasoinally, after 3 kicks, it would fire, sputter, and die. So i pushed it 3 kms to camp, in riding boots.

Before that, my 1988 banshee would start after 1-4 kicks(it was really wierd, sometimes i needed choke, other times i just gave it gas and vroom) once warm, it would start following this routine-

kick (no choke)

kick (no choke, just throttle)

kick (same as above)

Plse note i have no TORS it was disabbled 2 yaers ago

 

Basicly i think my starter circuit is fked. I got spark, etc.

Also, when pulled behind something, the motor fires right up. I used to be able to start in 1 kick?WTF

Pilots have sucked in some junk when you ran empty. Blow them out and try it again. Hope it works for you.

Stator

[mavguy]

My stator should be good, but i'll recheck. Also

i installed new dual stage boyseens (big diff)

rejetted .200 on the mains

and ill get back to you on the pilots

Sounds like you sucked something up in to a jet, but may have done some damage when you ran it out of gas....check your compression and have a look at those pilots.

I agree w/ Jeff. Running it out of gas at wide open throttle could run the motor extremely lean and melt the rings to the pistons causing very low compression and will start really hard
