Banshee wont start after its been running

[RMX250DB]

Whats up, I've been trying to get my basket case banshee up and running reliably, but have been having one problem. It'll usually start after about 5 kicks when its cold, but if you shut it off or stall it, it wont restart. Heres my set up. 88 banshee, fmf pipes, New Stator from RS, new nology coil, original cdi. It seems like it runs good while its running (one side smokes more than the other) but once it shuts off, it wont restart unless it sits for a while. Im running 300 mains, 25 pilots, 4 clip needle, and air screw .5 out. I'll attach a pic of the plugs and a small vid of how the bike runs if it helps out any, im at my wits end. Last thing, it dosent seem like it gets a real strong spark during the kicking cycle, only if its kicked with a lot of force.

sounds to me like it is flooding.

 

I had a sled before that was doing the same thing, it was because the carbs were to big.

fouling the right plug might be a crank seal, causing the plug to look like that and smoke.

a bad groud can cause weak spark, also bad wires or caps. whats the air gap set at on your pick up coil.

bad reeds, low compression, float sticking will make it hard to start. good luck

Looking at your plugs, one is worse than the other...you have some work to do...What does the smoke smell like?? Oil, antifreeze, tranny fluid?? Also, do a compression test. Guage cost around 20-30 bucks at the auto parts store. You should have at least 125psi....hold the throttle open when you do this. Also make sure that the choke tube between the 2 carbs is on. 1/4"x2" hose. This is most likely your problem.

My old 87 looked the same way about 3 days before it blew up. Bad head gasket was the problem with mine.

Make sure your carb overflow tubes are routed down and are clear. If not your bike will flood if a float sticks or if the needle valve or float level isn't just right.

I have also heard of similar problems with more than one ricky stator...try another stator if you can get your hands on one...unless you had the problem before you put that on .
