cuddie 1 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hey I have a 87 Banshee it has T-5's K&N filters in the stock air box with no lid, twist throttle, key switch removed other than that its stock. When I am ridding or just running it in the garage it will start to die out and at wide open throttle it just bairley stays running and will not rpm up at all if you shake the bike a couple of times it will stop and run great. I have a clear fuel filter on it and when it does it the filter is always full. The bike has never even fouled a plug??? Help! Do you think this is a fuel problem or possibly electrical???? When the key switch and the tors were removed the plug ins are just hanging there could this do it??? The guy I bought it from put a new stator in it to cure the problem but that obviously wasn't it. Pick-up gap maybe??? I am ready to blow it up HELP :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANSHEEMANIAC Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 hey, sounds like your float height is off, or you float needle seat is sticking shut. by you shaking the bike back and forth and it running fine after that makes me think that.

Agreed. Also, drain the tank, remove the fuel valve and make sure the primary and reserve pickup tubes aren't clogged up....as well as make sure the cap is venting properly (shake it, should rattle a bit)...
