THOR1 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 Well I went to ride the other day and I started her up and when I went to take off she had no power? I thought well maybe the plugs are fouled? checked them and they where fine but I went ahead and changed them. Not a damn bit if difference! Shee starts right up and idles fine but when I give it some throttle it just goes bbbooooggg! Sounds like it is sucking air from the airbox? I went to the garage today to check all the lines, and the airfilter. Everything looks okay Hell shee started up gr8 too! I gave her a lil gas and there was no bbooggg sound. I went ahead and rode her for about 1 or 2 minutes and then that sh#$ started again! One thing i was thinking is I used regular gas in her last takn I put in. Maybe junk gas? Has anyone had this happen? Also I read in the clymer book that dirty silencers maybe the problem? Whats yalls opinion, could seriously use the help before I go nuts! Later Quote
Toomey Banshee Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Is your parking brake unplugged? Have you removed or unplugged your TORs yet? I would start there, particularly the parking brake. Quote

simonsays Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 if u used dirty feul or poor feul it might of been dirty... this could of then put some shit in ur carbs thats why not enough feul would be getting into the engine causing that sound... never happened to me before but theres somewhere to start..... try mixing some jet feul to ur feul and see if theres a difference Quote
MILO Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Is your parking brake unplugged? Have you removed or unplugged your TORs yet? I would start there, particularly the parking brake. 349771[/snapback] yeah buddy. sounds like the parking brake is on. been there, done that Quote
THOR1 Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Posted April 5, 2005 Thanks for the replies! Ill give them all a try tommorrow. Im about willing to try anything. Yeh I have removed the TORS and parking brake. Not sure if I removed the electrical wire for the parking brake? Im at work but will take a gander when I get home. Thanks, chad Quote
THOR1 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Posted April 12, 2005 Well I unhooked the electric wire from the parking brake and shee revs fine! One thing I was wondering is where do yall unhook the wire at? I had unhooked it where all the wires meet in the "wire harness" . I guess thats what its called? Anyway do yall unhook it there or do you follow it to where it ends? If so where does it end? Thanks alot Im supposed to be going to some old mines in TN this weekend and would like to have her running right. Later CHad Quote
Wup This Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 I am having this same problem...how do I unhook the parking brake and how do I eliminate the T.O.R.S? I am new to the whole Banshee thing and I need to get ready for a Silver Lake trip at the end of the month. Quote
superchicken Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 theres a little black box under the tank right next to the coil.un-plug the wires going into that.tors in now unhooked completely.BUT remember if the throttle sticks it will take you for a ride if you panic Quote
Wup This Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 Thanks...I took the carbs out to clean them and when I put the suckers back in one of the idle adjusters broke off when I tried to adjust it. I gave the bitch the middle finger and went inside. I'm taking it in to get it fixed....... Quote
