cylinders not firing together

[marleyjoeb]

OK - i am new to the banshee - i just picked up an '02 banshee

yesterday that is in perfect shape - but, it is not running right -

it has sat for 3 years in a heated garage - it is hard to start -

barely idles if at all, best when choke is ON . when i get it going,

if i really get on it, bot cylinders fire and the power is strong - but if

i let of, or try to slow to below powerband it bogs, then dies, maybe

a backfire first - any great ideas as to a remedy? one last thing, when

i tested it,, he said the gas was old, so i drained the gas, put in fresh

mixed at 32:1 - PLEASE HELP - really want to ride it! jOEb in CT -

Sounds like the pilots are plugged, time to clean the carbs.

change the plugs and clean the carbs out real good.

definately has to be this... if when you start it up and one side just barely blows out and its cold air then if you rev it up it finally fires then im almost positive...

 

i used a lil sewing needle to clean mine when this happened,, i checked for air leaks up and down then cleaned out that pilot and whamo!!! fired and sounded great! GOODLUCK!
