bansheeman2000 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Recently I have been having problems staring my 2000 banshee, it is pretty much stock except for the air filter. When it is cold it just wont fire up. Just keep kicking until ready too pass out. Then pull behind atv fires right up. When it is warm it will restart just fine. Runs great once started no problems at all. Any help would be great. Thanks Quote

MILO Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 did you just get it or done any carb work the bottom bowels might to switched if so!! 376047[/snapback] that's usually my first suggestion too. don't dive into rebuilds etc till you check the simple things. make sure the bowls aren't switched, and that the little crossover tube between the carbs is in place.

That hose is connected and it seems like it is getting gas. I started tearing it apart last night. I have had it 2 years, think I might rebuild top end. Quote

Instead of sending you cylinders to a local machinist for boring/honing, you should send them to someone like Eric Gorr/Forward Motion that will bore, hone, port and piston match, sending you the Wiseco Pro-lites all for like 4 bills. He'll give them one hell of a woods port also. Scott Quote

Any tips or suggestion would be great. Thanks Quote
