canadabanshee Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 I have a new banshee. I put reeds and pro cucurit pipes on it. It was running good in the winter. But when it got warm it would not start. I tryed lots of different jets in it to. But If I spray some gas into the carbs it starts. It runs great. Only on cold start up. If I let it sit for over a hour it will not start. I dunno what to do. It gets lots of gas. She still goes fast. Good compression. around 125 if i remeber right. what should I try next.

sredish Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Maybe your float bowls are not adjusted properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadabanshee Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 (edited) how do you do that.. setting the bowls Edited June 22, 2004 by canadabanshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldturtle Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 While you are checking the float height you need to make sure the pilot jets are clean. If you need to squirt in extra gas to get it to start then pilots could be plugged. Pull the float bowls, remove pilot jets, and check visually to be sure they are open. Otherwise blow them out.
