Handyman Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Hey people remember me. I had a problem with my banshee bogging from an idle. Well after screwing with it all weekend I decided to take it back to the guy I bought it from so he can either fix it or pay to get it fixed. Well here's what happened, and yes it may be lengthy. 3 years ago when he was having similar problems he took it to the shop and the guy he talked to had a banshee as well and told him his problem sounded like a TORS problem. After having the bike for a day the guy called and told him that his TORS was acting up and told him to cut the wires to the TORS at the throttle housing and to disconnect the electrical connector on the left side of the frame. Worked fine after that. Well 3 months ago he went to Glamis and bent the handle bars. After replacing the handle bars and putting it all back together his buddy asked why the electrical connector was disconnected. Not remembering why it was disconnected he connected it back together and never started it again. I was the first to start it after the new bars went on. His wife pointed out to him that the connector was connected(while the bike is running) and he disconnected it and the RPMs shot sky high. Bike now runs like it's got NOS in the tank. Yes the TORS is completely disabled, if you're wondering. I still have to fine tune it and figure out why it wants to bog when I put it in gear, I think it may be the premix. Thanks everyone for trying to help me find the problem. Quote
fixitrod Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 To disconnect the tors you just needed to unhook the black box under the left side of the tank. Glad to see you got it running. Make sure the basics are covered on the bog.. pilot screws are the same carbs are synced new plugs good gas carb slides in the right carb (you should see and angle at the bottom of the slide, it needs to face the rear on each slide) choke tube in place Quote

I think it's the gas. I have a 20:1 in 2 gal of gas. It seems like it's not getting enough gas. I have to be almost at full throttle and feather the clutch a little ten dump it to get going. Once a load has been put on the engine it gets hot real quick and I can smell it. Edited June 8, 2005 by Handyman Quote
