bogging ...strange problem

[yellabanshee]

hey all, I rode my banshee last night and was running strange......I rode last week and it ran great and has been running awesome....

 

but last night it would start fine and idle, but a soon as you hit the gas it was bogging or acting like the carb was loading up.......I tried to open it up on the road and it would never hit full power......

 

could this be a dirty carb, stuck float.....clogged jet.....any thoughts ???

 

thanks ya'll

[Banshee~]

I bet is a clogged jet, clean your carbs out real good and that should fix the problem.

Do you have equal pressure exhaust coming out both pipes?

[Bansheeduner02]

Change Ur plugs. my dads had the same problem but ran even worse.

This will sound dumb, but check to make sure you've got enough gas. If you get low, or need to switch to reserve, the routing of the stock fuel rubber fuel lines will starve the left cylinder before the right. It will continue to run on the right cylinder, but will act somewhat similar to what you are describing. Although, you could also have a plugged jet as well. If it was running fine, it is unlikely that simply swapping plugs will make a difference. It sounds stupid, but in these cases check the "no-brainer" stuff first.

thanks for the input everyone......i cleaned the carbs real well and will fire it up tommorro.........to late for the burb naybers:)

 

and I am a little drunk to fly around the hood......heehee

 

I think it was a dirty jet

 

but one of you mentioned a exhaust thing,,

 

i took on some water a week ago and it seemed to go away after a few, but can that be an issue?

 

I went in some water and it bogged down for 3 minutes, then seemed to clear out.......then this new problem.,............

 

dont know..........just know i like beer.......and this is true

 

thanks banshee freinds:))

The first thing I try is changing the plugs, I always have a new set with me and it is a common problem.

if it got wet that colud be part of your problem

[yellabanshee]

so ...yeah

 

it got wet............but what does that mean?

 

I mean, if it gets wet, what is the thought on the problem yo?

 

I pulled both carbs apart and they are cleaned and dialed....

 

any other ideas man?

 

thanks

If they got wet, then just make sure they get dried out...A wet filter will not allow enough air and will make it run rich and not rev out...Being winter, the filter might be frozen??

Your TORs is probly fked up.

Change ur oil too in case some water got into the case. Pull the left case cover off to expose your flywheel to make sure no water got in there.

[banshee tuner]

Clean your air filter.
