yamahabanshee1999 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 my banshee just got back from getting the case welded and it had the flywheel cover off for like 2 months so i finally put it back together and it wont start. they plugs do not appear to be sparking either so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 make sure all your connectors have a good connection, also make sure you have a good ground. Quote
yamahabanshee1999 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 i have no idea as to what make sure it has good ground means Quote
Virtualbat Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Make Sure the gap between the flywheel and the pickup is set correctly. maybe the plugs went bad. try replacing them and check for spark then. and as said already check all connections and grounds. Quote
Meat Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 i have no idea as to what make sure it has good ground means 422893[/snapback] The electrical system need to be "grounded", this is done by a ground wire in your wiring harness, this ground wire bolts to your frame and grounds the system. The ground wire is attached at the rear of the quad, near the CDI box. I think that's where its located on a stock wiring harness, my harness has been cut and the ground wire doesnt attache in the stock position anymore. Anyways..... find the ground wire where it bolts to the frame and make sure there's no rust around anywhere, make sure the ground wire aint cracked up and inspect the connector that attaches the ground wire to the frame. Might be a good idea to clean the metal where the ground wire bolt goes. Was your stator removed ? Do you know what the "pickup coil" is and if it has been moved ?? Do you have the TORS on your carburetors ?? Did you try new sparkplugs, NGK B8ES gapped at .028-.031 Inspect things like the handlebar mounted on\off switch and the key switch. -denny Quote
2003LimitedBanshee Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 It could definitely be the ground... but I would also check the gap between the flywheel and the pickup. My factory gap was set at .032", Ricky Stator says to go as tight as you can, but no tighter than .020". Both of these are quick checks, and will probably find the problem. Plugs don't usually just go bad, but I guess it's possible. Quote
yamahabanshee1999 Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Posted October 5, 2005 my stator has never been removed. i do have the tors on the stock carbs, also i flipped my quad over a while back and it did the same thing but then i poped the ignition and glued it so i wudnt need a key and it started right up but i dont thinnk this is the problem here. i had my friend pull my banshee down the street with his car and tried bumping it for like 10 minutes Quote
trail rider Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 The ground wire on my shee was broke for a long time ( I think), i noticed it one day when i was messing with the tail light. it had never affected the electrical system or compoents. Quote
yamahabanshee1999 Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Posted October 5, 2005 yea i was looking at my cdi and i noticed that theres this thing that connects alot of wires and one of the wires is unplugged its black and goes into this white thiing with a whole bunch of other wires connecting to the cdi. is the black wire important? Quote
trail rider Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 the ground goes through the bolt that holds the voltage regulator on its the little square silver box Quote
Virtualbat Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 a black wire is usally your ground wire. unless someone has rewired it. Quote
yamahabanshee1999 Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Posted October 5, 2005 the little black wire is like one of those pug wires meaning that it plugs in to a white connector Quote
