CoopBanshee Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 I just thought I was done. I put all the mods on. I jetted the carbs. And I fixed my throttle problem (needles). Now I went to start the shee and it won't fire up. I put two new plugs in it (NGK-R BR8Es). On the first kick it wanted to start but then nothing. The plugs have a black sludge/film on them when I take them out. It sounds like a common problem that some of you might have run into. Maybe I frogot to hook something up? Maybe it is the film on the plugs? Maybe my banshee dosen't like me anymore after wrenching on it for the third day now? Anyway Help me out. Thank You Quote
svtkid78 Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 Try posting in the repair and mod forum. Also is you choke tube hooked up, and your carbs synched right, as well as the idle adjustment. It may be flooded from you trying to start it so much. Any fuel in the pipes. Air screws right? Quote
Klotz Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 do you have a teather switch casue if you do that messed up my spark..it sparked every tenth kick or so....so that could be it... shane Quote
badlarry Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 check the petcock for a clog. my shee was apart for a month or two and after rebuild it would not fire then i put it on reserve nothing I checked the petcock and sure enough it was all gunked up. I cleaned it changed plugs and it fired on the first kick. Quote
superchicken Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 clean the plugs with some carb cleaner or buy new ones.black sludge = no good Quote
CoopBanshee Posted July 3, 2004 Author Report Posted July 3, 2004 Just have you might of suspected it was a simple thing my stupid ass overlooked. I did not hook up the choke tube between the carbs. I started on the first kick after I put it on. Thanks You for all of your help, my former stock shee is now a banshee. Quote
