OH NO ! MY BANSHEE IS NOT BURNING THE FUEL !

[VIPES]

I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO FIND OUT THE ROOT CAUSE WITH MY BANSHEE.

I TURNED IT ON AND SMOKES HEAVILY.

I PUT MY HAND AT THE TIP OF THE EXHAUST AT THE RIGHT SIDE AND GOT MY HAND WET WITH FUEL.

 

BAD FUEL MIXTURE, MAYBE PISTON PROBLEM, CRANK SEAL ISSUE, NOT SURE?

 

I BARELY HAVE ABOUT 25 HOURS OF RIDING IT AND A YEAR OF OWNING THE BIKE.

 

IT DID IT BONE STOCK. I FIGURED IT WOULD BE A CARBURETOR PROBLEM.

SO I INSTALLED TOOMEY'S T-5, PUT NEW SPARK-PLUGS AND LEFT THE STOCK JET.

I HAVE NOT RIDDEN THE QUAD WITH THE NEW INSTALLATIONS YET.

 

STILL DOING SAME PROBLEM.

 

ANY CLUES. PLEASE ADVISE.

need some more info.............

 

how long since last time motor ran?

if carb problems swapping pipes aint gonna help.

what is the other cylinder doing at the same time?

have you changed your plugs lately?

did you check your piugs after you changed pipes?

i would (ass)(u)(me) you rejetted after you changed your pipes?

 

I am guessing that your carbs are the problem, but it could be the ignition , spark in one cyl not the other, do you goose it when you kick it, it sounds stupid but a banshee can be real easy to flood if your not used to it. running stock jet w pipes hope you are deciding to do a rebuild, not to healthy for motor even though it doesnt sound like you get to ride much.

 

slow down! find your problems on the shee, ( what you think is causing problem) do alot of searching in here and most if not all your problems are covered in here already

 

 

good luck and dont kill it before its prime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of oil are you running. Do both pipes smoke the same? Wich side smokes more if not?

[JET 99]

if you are getting raw oil and fuel out of the pipe

 

 

A. plenty of fuel no spark, start checking ignition sys varify you have spark x 2

B. you have spark too much fuel..... poss reed damage, carb screwed up if this is the case someway get a hold of clymers manual(your bible)..........read it learn it live it if your gonna work on it yourself. you def have an issue but until you can ask a more specific question, to many variables to really give you something to fix
