Banshee is popping and revs high

[cherrym]

Fellas! I just installed some new P&R and I put the quad back together last night. I kicked and I kicked, with no results. So I followed someone elses advice which was to take the sparks plugs out and pour some gas into the cylinders. Once that was done she kick over for about a half seconds. So that made me put on a new PCV hose ( a clear one) that goes from the gas tank to the carbs because I wasn't sure that the gas was flowing. Once that was done the gas look like it wasn't draining into the carbs. I didn't see any flow so I disconnected the hose from the carb and the flow was rapid. So my gas tank was fine. I reconnected the hose and used some compressed air and blow into the holes on the side of the carb and gas blow out. So I tried to start it and it kicked over. But I had to give it a little throttle.

 

Now It's not idling so I started to turn the thumb srews on the top of the carbs (no knowing if that was the idles swers or not). It idles but idles very high and loud. When riding it was shifting hard even after I stop press the gas it still rev very high making it shift hard. Then while riding it started to pop or backfire (just a few time). Now I'm at the point where after I turn it off and want to restart it, I have to use some compress air and blow those holes on the side of the carbs to let out gas.

 

So, why do I have to blow the gas out to restart the bike almost everytime?

 

How do I adjust my Idle from reving so high?

 

The tube that connects the two carb, what's that for and which hole does it connect to? A picture would help.

I'd say you have an airleak somewhere around the carbs.

 

If the choke tube is not connected, this could very well be the problem.

 

I suggest you read through BenBB's Jetting FAQ.

I second the air leak, definatly check your choke tube. After I was done rejetting my carbs I went for a spin and it was revving and idling really high and after check the carbs the choke tube came off my carbs in the process of me working on them.

For a third opinion, I think that you have an air leak resulting in a lean condition. :baseball_bat:

Thanks for the suggeustions. One of my c-clamps on the Carb was lost so I did reconnect it yet. You guys think that's it? By fixing the air leak, what problem will it fix?

 

Thanks again for looking out!

I suppose you haven't read the jetting FAQ yet....

Make sure that your slides for your carbs are not installed backwards and the choke tube is in.
