PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted December 1, 2004 Report Posted December 1, 2004 (edited) Since you're the freestyler are you saying you wear regular shoes when you ride? Get something to protect your ankles man take it from someone who had to spend $8000 to get theirs fixed but atleast I have the scar, plate, and screws to prove it. As for your problem, you didn't just overfill it did you? You need to look it over and find the source should be easier for you than us guessing. Edited December 1, 2004 by PUSH THE THROTTLE Quote

locogato11283 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 maybe it was from when u pulled that back flip last night??!! Quote
broke Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 Maybe the boogie man did it? 287564[/snapback] Scary, huh? Quote
NugShee Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 make sure all carb screws and boots are tight, other then that my only guess is one of the overflow's. Are your hoses getting old and cracking. Whatever it is it should be a "BIG PROBLEM" just a little tightening of screws and maybe a new hose should fix it. Keep us informed Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Posted December 2, 2004 ya all the hoses are good. the carb screw are all tight. the gas is all over like it was more then what i daid. it was all over my frame, swingarm, tries and such. Quote
joshv5.0 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 ya all the hoses are good. the carb screw are all tight. the gas is all over like it was more then what i daid. it was all over my frame, swingarm, tries and such. 287610[/snapback] floats are probably stuck just tap on the float bowls with a wrench to free them up, problem should be gone Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Posted December 2, 2004 can you blow one cylinder? and i dont think it was the flotas cause when i turned the gas on nothing came out. Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 can you blow one cylinder? and i dont think it was the flotas cause when i turned the gas on nothing came out. 287666[/snapback] If you lost a cylinder, you would of said my engine is running like shit and gas is all over my quad. how is it running?

DuneRoller Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 floats are probably stuck just tap on the float bowls with a wrench to free them up, problem should be gone 287616[/snapback] That's what I was thinking. Quote
Fireman-hott Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 well could be a small crack in your gas tank. I have a 5 gallon IMS that sprung a little crack/leak. It was hairline I still can't see it on the black tank but I know it leaked a good gallon all over my garage floor. Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Posted December 2, 2004 well only my left cylinder is firing. and the gas is all over the right side which isnt firing? so i duno what to do Quote
tithead Posted December 2, 2004 Report Posted December 2, 2004 (edited) new plugs for a start, always good to put new plugs in the banshee, i do it alot. check your fuel lines on the right side of holes and tighten them up???? Edited December 2, 2004 by tithead Quote
