Bansheeman1121 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 Ok heres the deal, takes lots of kicking to start, tho compression should be good. When your ruunnin it it bogs from a start and the right side cuts out till you get on it, once your in the band she rips but when you let off it cuts out and bogs. This is all on my 99 banshee which i bought as few days ago riddin 1 time in the past few years. Got new plugs in her and a bit of new gas. Also the side thats cuttin ouut the plug is dark and a bit of oil while the left side is a nice tan color. Noticed some sparks when i let off the gas to goin pretty fast down a road. Im no newb to banshees ive had a 97 for 3 years no and ive been through hell and back with it. So basicly from a stop you gotta give lots of gas to get it movin or else it will bog out, when you get into the powerband both cyls kick in and it rips like it should.. Just cleaned the carbs out good but havnt gotton to ride her with the clean carbs yet, jw if you guys thing this is somthin big or just clogged jet. Im prayin o n this one cuase i just bought the damn thing and really wanna get some ridin in Quote
Dinner Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 Sounds like you are rich on the pilot. I would take both carbs apart, and check all the jets in them. Try and match the right side carb to the left side that is nice and tanned. The right side may have a bigger pilot in it. So check everything out Quote
dajogejr Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 Sparks coming out the exhaust is not a good thing....that CAN be part of the piston, head or cylinder starting to come apart. You need to get a quality compression tester and test both sides before you do anything else. If one side is ready to let loose, save the money now before it really lunches the motor... For the price of a head gasket and coolant, I'd even go so far as to remove the head and visually inspect the tops of the pistons, the head, and look through the intake and exhaust ports at the piston skirt....

I agree, a couple years back my shee made some fireworks out one side and it wasn't too long after that it really went boom! Quote
TwinPipeDaddy Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Damn good advise! Definatly pop the head and look around. I'd pull the jugs too since your down that far. Last time I had a goofy problem like that, it launched a piston. Quote
