floydfan_90 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 :sad: Hi, im new at this just bought first banshee was running good went for a ride and it killed when I ran thru a puddle no biggie I figured I must have got the stator wet right? Well I kicked it for like 5 minuets and got it to run but it was back firing bad thru the exhaust and would only run if I held the throttle just a hare if I let off it would kill and if I gave it more it would bog and die finely it cleared up and ran great. When I got home I took the flywheel cover off and cleaned the gasket off and sprayed off the whole flywheel and stator with brake cleaner and wile the cover was off started it up it ran great so I reassembled every thing and took it for a test drive it ran strong for like 2 minuets until I slowed down then it started bonging and stuttering really bad and back firing thru the exhaust and would not rev up at all I did the same thing held the throttle a little bit and waited till it cleared up and like someone flicked a switch it cleared right up ran good for like 100 ft than started running like crap agene. I pushed it to my shop and kicked it once and she fired right up I took off the air box lid and filter to see if I had water in there or something didn Quote
baddsheee Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Was the filter wet? Wondering if water got in throught the filter. Or if any air leaks somewhere like intake boots or crank. Quote

Or if any air leaks somewhere like intake boots or crank. No the filter was not wet but come to think of it I did just have the whole intake apart checking the reed valves so maybe I have an air leak. But after I put it back together I sprayed every thing down with starting fluid to see if I had any air leaks I it didn Quote
bansheeseat$$ Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Check your spark plug boots.Sounds like they are causing the concern by letting the spark travel down the outside of the plug to ground via water sitting around the plugs. Quote
