justinklumb29 Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 iam so frustrated, it seems like i have checked everything. She wont come up over 4000 rpms and needs to be pop started everytime. New plugs, new carbs, checked reeds, checked the timing(+6), checked compression 150 in each cylinder. what else could it be. it seems like she is running on one cylinder or somthing. once you get to about 4000 its like it just hits a rev limiter. does anybody have any ideas??? I was thinking it might be somehting eletrical??? thanks Quote
9603banshee Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 sounds like it's electrical, possibly cdi or damaged flywheel gone BAD! Quote
watkins Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 (edited) sounds like it's electrical, possibly cdi or damaged flywheel gone BAD! I agree, but lets get the easy question outa the way first... do you still have tors installed? TORS will do that exact same thing... unplug the tors unit and try again.

justinklumb29 Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Posted June 14, 2006 tors is gone, are there any eletrical parts that i could swap out with a 89 banshee mine is a 98 to see if they are bad?? Quote
jankab Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 tors is gone, are there any eletrical parts that i could swap out with a 89 banshee mine is a 98 to see if they are bad?? You should swap the fly wheel for starters, then might want to try a cdi Quote
dajogejr Posted June 14, 2006 Report Posted June 14, 2006 You can swap any of the parts, however....the wire plugs for the stator and/or CDI might have to be cut and modified... Quote
justinklumb29 Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Posted June 15, 2006 alright, i swapped out the flywheel and cdi(little black thing the hooks to the spark plugs). However the black box in the back under the seat has different wires so i did not try that one. But my ? is if the black box in the back is bad, will it run at all. Does anybody have any other ideas, could my wiring harness be bad?!?!? any ideas at all iam on the verge of parting it out if i cant get her to run decent Quote
dajogejr Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Ok...first things first. The black box with spark plugs coming out of it (under the gas tank) is the Coil, NOT CDI. The black box under the seat is the CDI. A bad CDI could make it not run, could make it run like shit...and it could even make it run like shit Intermittently.... Sorry if that's not much help...but, it is the truth... Quote
justinklumb29 Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Posted June 15, 2006 is there any way to test the cdi? Quote
dajogejr Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Not that I know of... however...Ricky Stator says they can test all ignition components...give 'em a call... Quote
9603banshee Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 find a friend w/ a bike in the same year range as yours and swap cdi's.....(find one with the same plugs)......I would bet this is what it is.....I'd be willing to put a Benny on it!....LOL! Quote
dajogejr Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) Not sure if this will help...but, I believe this is the break down in years of CDIs. 87 to 94 = same 95 to 96 = same 97 to 04 = same... 05 and 06 I'm not sure... Of course, I have to have a 96... Someone jump on in if I'm off on that... Edited June 15, 2006 by dajogejr Quote
greg_banshee Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 check the plug Caps, i kinda had similar problem last fall & it tured out to be plug caps worked like shit when i got it started & would only rev so high. check them, there cheep to only 4$ a cap. Quote
justinklumb29 Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Posted June 15, 2006 well i just bought a new cdi off of ebay, its a procom cdirev box I will let you guys know once i get it installed Quote
dajogejr Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 I"m in a similar boat as well. I can get an SRP rev box cheaper than a stock CDI... Tested my stator, ok...bought a brand new Nology Coil... Got a feeling it's going to be a CDI...but, I was going to buy the stuff anywho...oh well. Quote
