fromygod Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 ok my buddy is the type of kid who has $$ but no sense at all brings his banshee to my house asks me to take a look. the bike starts fine and idles, but u open the throtle and nothing happens. the rpms dont build, even a little bit it dosen't bog completely out,pop, sputter, just idles. even thought it idles u can hold the throttle wide open for 20-30 sec and nothing. i though he broke the throttle cable but both slides are moving smoothly. i guess this is a sudden problem, like he was ridin it and then there was just no throttle response.Stock 2001 save for the K&N and proflow. Could it be the TORS, i already dissconnected the 2 carb switches and the plug into the controll box, no change. ive suspected the reeds are pretty shot, im gonna check those 2morrow.Plugs look a little rich but certainly not fouled. Would a chipped or cracked reed petal be the source? im pretty baffled so any ideas, no mattter how far fetched, are appreciated oh yea after about 5 min of idleing the right side will give a pretty loud backfire and some flame out the tailpipe Quote

03LE Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 hmm something like this happened to a budy of mine, it was his C clamp in his carb that holds the needle, but unless you broke both of the in both carbs that wouldn't be it... try checking your throttle cable? maybe is broke and check the linkage on your carbs..? I'm not a mechanic so I'm kinda stating the obvious. Gluck Quote

fromygod Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Posted February 3, 2005 (edited) yo props to fixitrod!!! Damn parking brake switch failed, unplug it all smiles. but as i put my buddies back together he brings mine back... stuck in 3rd or 4th gear. WTF u gotta be a genius to keep these running well its off to the wanted section for a shift shaft assembly. somehow he managed to turn the shift pawl backwards, and i just broke it off trying to fix it. anyone else have this problem??
