bick Posted September 13, 2004 Report Posted September 13, 2004 needs some major help? what would make it run like crap, then throttle cable snaps? it was missing out when running. Quote
racer Posted September 13, 2004 Report Posted September 13, 2004 must have been one old rusted cable. before you go off tearing into anything get a new cable and see if that doesnt fix the problem cheaply. if it still runs bad then run compression and plug tests first. Quote
bick Posted September 13, 2004 Author Report Posted September 13, 2004 alright, how would i do a compression test, and were should the pressure be. Quote
racer Posted September 13, 2004 Report Posted September 13, 2004 with a tester. its a gauge with a fitting that screws into the top of the head in the spark plug hole. once its in there hold the throttle open and kick it several times. then see what PSI the gauge reads. if everything is bone stock the reading should be around 120 pounds. if its under 100 i would have a topend put in it as well as if its more than 10% off on one side or the other.

bick Posted September 13, 2004 Author Report Posted September 13, 2004 thanks, i appreciate the advice. yeah i was riding it in the field and i notice it was slugish in the mid and high end. so i rode it back to the house and shut it of so i could call a friend about the problem. while i was goofing with the thumb throttle the cable broke.@#$%^ So you reckin it is a bad ole rusty cable...

racer Posted September 13, 2004 Report Posted September 13, 2004 could be just that it stretched then broke. hey i noticed youre from duncan, you ever go to little sahara? Quote
bick Posted September 14, 2004 Author Report Posted September 14, 2004 i was wanting to go next week, if i get it fixed. Quote
racer Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 hmm, well id look around and see if you cant find one around there, but if not call the shops in OKC. im sure between like 5 dealers and several speed shops someone has a cable in stock. Quote
pimpeinkc Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 you could have some kind of bind in one of the connecting parts, or if it was routed wrong, it could have been smashed not allowing is to move inside the casing. or if you had frayed wires on one of the ends some where that would do it too. it sounds to me like you just need a new cable. watch the routing though Quote
bick Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Posted September 16, 2004 banshee still runs like crap after replacing cable. running out of things to do. its got be a carburator problem???right??? Quote
