postal Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 Me and my dad have been working on my banshee for about 6 months now. It's got spark and it gets gas into the carbs. But for some reason it isn't getting threw them into the cylinders. We've pulled the carbs off and stuff and set them and all that stuff, but it still doesnt work. We've checked them at least 5 times. The reeds look brand new, the seals are fine, the floats are fine. If you put gas on top where the spark plugs go, it starts up right on first kick. It used to start but then it just stopped out of no where. Anybody know what the problem could be? Quote

I have seen pilots plugged , petcock pluged, and deris in carb inlet needles. Do you have the rubber tube on between the carbs ,which is for the choke. Quote
05bansh Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Make sure you are running fresh gas. Then clean the crap out of your carbs with carb cleaner, take the main and pilots out and spray carb cleaner in the jets and the carbs, then take an air compressor hose and blow the hell out of them (if you have a compressor).

Bansheeman1121 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 How about the choke tube beetween the carbs i had the same thing id pur some gas into the top it would fire over 1st kick, when you didnt do that good luck becuase it wouldnt start no matter how many times you kick it over Quote
postal Posted March 6, 2005 Author Report Posted March 6, 2005 It did start when we put gas in the spark plug thing. We took them out, then put gas in then put them back in. It started and ran for like less than 1 second. And we completely cleaned the carbs just like all of you said. We've cleaned them everytime we took them off. (about 5 times) Quote
postal Posted March 6, 2005 Author Report Posted March 6, 2005 Bansheeman, can you explain more about what you did? Maybe I have the same problem as you. Quote
05bansh Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Did you make sure all of your lines on the carb are connected? choke tube, etc... Quote
05bansh Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 So is it getting fuel? Your SURE none of your lines are clogged? Quote
FORMULASPEED Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 (edited) lol. I put my stock carbs back on cause I sold my other set up, an Im waitn for my new setup. But anyway I had the same problem, even had to add gas to the cylinder anit ran until the gas ran out. So picked the quad up at the nerf until gas pores out the over flows. Let it down an kicked it over fired first kick, did it again today an it fired after pickin it up. Try that, means your floats are adjusted wrong my pilots lean too maybe yours is also. my new shit will be here soon so I aint F-n with it. Edited March 6, 2005 by FORMULASPEED Quote
postal Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Posted March 7, 2005 OMG, I GOT IT RUNNING!!!! I RODE IT TOO! I got into 5th gear, I felt like was gonna get pulled right off of it. The first thing I did was took it up the road, then an SUV came and I had to do it...I totally blew that mother away.... Quote
05bansh Posted March 7, 2005 Report Posted March 7, 2005 Did you figure out what was wrong with it? Quote
