night rider Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 went riding last night shee died like i ran out of gas. i checked the tank and it was over half full, checked the vent on the cap and it was good. we were riding in 6 gear just crusing about mid range under the power band and it died twice same thing acted like it was out of gas let it set for 1 minute and she fired up and ran great don't know why it would do this any help would be great thanks Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 6th gear cruising? sounds to me like you drained your bowls. to be safe pull the lines off your carbs and turn the gas on. check and make sure you are getting good flow from the tank. Quote
rocketboy Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 yaeh it sounds like your not getting good flow ,check that like locogato said and if all else fails disassemble carb and clean out jets and passsages for any debris in their and while yo ugot it apart id check your float bowl height Quote
ssanddemon Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Pull the fuel petcock out of the tank and cut the strainer socks off the ends. They are plugged and only letting a dribble thru. Now you can simply run a clear fuel filter before the carbs and see when it's plugged. I almost guarantee this is the fix, based on your description of the problem. Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 before you go cutting anything i would suggest first seeing if you are getting flow from your tank. if you are getting good flow theres no need to cut anything. Quote
night rider Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Posted February 22, 2005 thanks guys i'll check that someone told me it might be lean in the mid range what do you think the chance of that is? Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 whats your jetting at??? Quote
night rider Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Posted February 22, 2005 with a single 35 pwk 235 main eek needle at the 3 rd clip with a 52 pilot its about 30 degrees out here Quote
FORMULASPEED Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Another possibility is. If you have cut wires on your harness, They may have loosened up if you twisted them (key). Good luck an I believe thats the biggest main you can get for that carb. Quote
BansheeEaterKXF Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 the wires got me like that for about 3 days just when i thought it was fixed braaa pop!i tried everthing damn wires Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 pm sredish about the jetting. he had a single 35mm carb on his banshee before he came out of the closet. he should be able to let you know about what size jets to run. Quote
