woodro77 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 just got my project running as some of you know, took it riding in the snow with a couple of banshee friends ,and it ran realy great , rode it for a couple hours ,the next day took it out again ,it had a little hesatation but then ran good . rode for a little more than started to run like shit , hesitating ,breakin up ,sounds like its runnin shitty in left cylinder ,popin a little bit out back ,and smoking out front of radiator . compression is still good on both sides. working on this thing is getting old fast , any thoughts?

brilei5 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Was the second day you rode it MUCH colder? If it was you could bee real LEAN. Might explain overheating also ( radiator dumping coolant on hot pipes) Quote
Wallrat Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Sounds like either a clogged jet or maybe even a reed problem. Mine had similar symptoms after I rebuilt it. Turned out one of my v force 2 screws had worked loose. Quote

FIRST BANSHEE Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 sounds real lean on the left side if it's popin and back firing on the left. what do your plugs look like? lean condition on the left could be a crank seal, loose cylinder, bad boot, plugged jet or carb. overheating could be from a bad impeller in the water pump, that could also cause your problems.

woodro77 Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Posted February 13, 2006 how do i tell if impeller is bad Quote
1000dollabill Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 take off the clutch cover, see if plastic gear behind pump is stripped. also take the pump cover off and make sure the actual impellar is still in tact. is the tranny fluid grey and runny? Quote

watkins Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Start her up and at idle spray her down with some carb cleaner or starter fluid.. spray the boots, reed cages, bottom of the cylinder and see if it rev's up at all. If it does then you got yourself an airleak. Quote

If it does then you got yourself an airleak. 472823[/snapback] no air leak, would a faulty coil cause this problem , or do they just stop makin spark Quote
nutcase Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Had the same problem with my 99 banshee.Come to find out,wiseco had a bad batch of c clips for the pistons and my left side broke loose and let the pin score a 40000 groove in the cylinder wall. Quote
Wallrat Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Was there any fuel on the air filter? Have you cleaned the carbs? Have you swapped spark plug wires to see if it still runs shitty on the left? Quote
1000dollabill Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 if the coolant is getting past the impellar seal it will dump into the tranny. thus overheating. how's your coolant level? tranny fluid shouldn't look old, maybe dirty. propane torch works great for finding airleaks. but if your real low on coolant i'd check that impellar.
