DIRTMAN350 Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 Hey Guys, I need your help bad. I have a 1998 banshee and just the other day after i cleaned her up after a ride i went and installed billet pipe hangers. Went to start her up after putting left isde pipe back on and noticed that it was nice and warm and the right side pipe was cool. removed plugs and noticed them to be wet. So i fugured that i fouled the plugs trying to start it. Installed new plugs and still the same. left side pipe nice and warm and right side cool. Could this be the CDi or the Coil. All wiring looks ok. Still has the tors system hooked up. I wonder if when i washed it that something got too wet and shorted out the CDi or the Coil. Any help would be great. Quote
BenBB Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 I'd try disabling the TORS system first by unplugging the control box on the frame rail right above the left cylinder. If that works, chances are the switch on the e-brake perch needs adjustment or got water in it (good time to eliminate the whole crappy TORS system). When you rev it up does the right side hit at all or not? If it was just at idle, it could be a clogged pilot jet... Quote
DIRTMAN350 Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Posted July 1, 2004 Thnaks for replying so fast. The parking brake assy has been removed already. How bad is it to remove the carb and tear it apart? I will try and see if the black box is already been unplugged yet. I guess i'll keep messing around with it. Hopefully i can figure it out so i can ride on moday on my day off. Thanks again. Quote
DIRTMAN350 Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Posted July 1, 2004 It kinda comes out of it when you rev it up but at idle the right side pipe will not even get warm. after letting it run for awhile it made a puff of exhaust out the right side followed buy a flame. but then it went right back to missing on the right side. I will try a spark tester and see if it is spark or fuel problem. Thanks again. Quote
BdBanshee Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 I have had several spark plug caps go bad, if that's the problem it is a cheap and easy fix. I carry a few in my toolbox all the time! Quote
XTShee Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 (edited) Whats your compression like, A friend had sort of the same thing happening and turned out his pistion on one side was shot Edited July 2, 2004 by XTShee Quote
Justintoxicated Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 1st Make sure your parking brake is not on. 2nd Open up the carb on the side it is missing and poke out the pilot jet with the end of a Twistie tie like the kind you get from the grocery store. Carbs are not that bad to mess with but kinda a PITA with the stock setup. When My bike had this problem it wa s aplugged pilot jet, the hole is unbelievably small so it does not take much to get stuck in there. And this willc ause one side to run like you are suggesting and then clean up after about 1/4th throttle. Quote
DIRTMAN350 Posted July 2, 2004 Author Report Posted July 2, 2004 UPDATE: I figured it out. I tryed your guys suggestions and to no avail. I restarted it and could hear a hissing sound. Got to looking around and found the v-shaped boot that holds my boost bottle has a big split in it. Just need a pair of new v-shaped boots and i will be in business. Hope it fixes it. Thanks again for all your help. Latter and safe riding. Quote
