bucketofsoupyum Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Hey, If someone could help me that would be great, if not I will take it to the shop because I just dont know where to start on my own. This is my first Shee its a 97 and I am pretty sure it needs the carbs rebuilt, I was also told to check the reeds on it. First off I dont know where the reeds are located at (underneath the carbs I am guessing) but how do I know if they need replaced? Secondly, I bought 2 carb rebuild kits from yamaha but they didnt come with any diagrams or anything and I dont want to open my carbs and not know what I am doing. How do I rebuild the carbs... anyone? Thirdly, I will explain how it is now so you can tell what you think... right now it doesnt like to start cold.. (I usually have to push start it when cold) but when its warm it will kick over pretty eacily. but when it runs it doesnt scream... it sorta bogs real slow in the first 3-4 gears... once in 5th it weill start to go fast... but thats more or less cause its in 5th I think... I am guessing maybe the carbs arent synced either? Lastly, what is the best gas/oil mixture to run in the bike, I had my buddy who rides 2 strokes to mix it before but what is best for a Shee? Much thanks to anyone who can answer any of my questions! Thanks, Chad Quote

fastbanshee4u Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Anytime you work on something keep it as simple as possible .And if you dont feel capable ,take the carbs off,and a repair shop could fix you up,it does not have to be a factory service center.As much as that goes there probally guys on here that would do it for you cheap. Your carbs are probally fine,maybe need cleaned inside.Its sound like your shee is low on compression,and might need rebuilt.Have someone do a compression test or buy a tester at the auto parts store.Or you might be able to rent one.Check for good spark also,hope you installed new spark plugs.The majority of the people use 32:1 I would say.Do not get the carb slides mixed up,or forget the rubber cross tube.

crazywheelerman365 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 I would concur with fastbanshee4u , check the compression ! It sounds like rebuild time Quote
