LeadBoots Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Posted February 21, 2007 i also got rid of the key switch. alls u do is cut the red/black wire and the black wire and put them to together right? Quote
sled Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 no, i think you just leave them apart. Quote
sykoman Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 no, i think you just leave them apart. I think he's right red and black should go 2gether @ key switch..... black and white should be open @ the kill switch.... I have one doing the same thing.... i'm suspecting a cdi also Quote
sled Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 i could be wrong. ive never pulled the key switch off mine. Quote
Ruko Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 The wires for the ket switch need to be connected... not sure what the colors are though. It could be the CDI but there is no way to test them other than changing them out. If you know someone who has another Banshee you could borrow one from to try it before you go out and buy one, that's about the only way to test them. Oh and there are different plugs on them depending on what year your Banshee is. I belive it's 97 and after have a different plug than before 97. I could be wrong on the year though. Quote
LeadBoots Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Posted February 21, 2007 if the flywheel magnet is crack or when u shake it u can hear little pieces of the magnet movin around. Is that bad. Will the ignition coil still spark at all? Quote
LeadBoots Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Posted February 22, 2007 any one got any other ideas? Quote
dajogejr Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 if the flywheel magnet is crack or when u shake it u can hear little pieces of the magnet movin around. Is that bad. Will the ignition coil still spark at all? Yes, get a new flywheel. My cub motor had a bad flywheel...it started, but when it got to about 5K or so...it burbled and died out. Your magnets could be busted up so bad inside it won't even spark.... If you know something is bad like that, replace it!! Quote
sykoman Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 any one got any other ideas? Update on mine...... It ended up being the pickup coil on the stator.... it took sum creative testing but it saved me $120 or so cuz a new CDI would have cost me $190. I got the pick up new by itself for $68. Good Luck Quote
LeadBoots Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Posted February 28, 2007 another thing about the flywheel is that even no that the magnet was crack it still sparked i was checkin the spark i kicked it over and lots of spark then i kicked it again anf no spark. Quote
moneybags Posted February 28, 2007 Report Posted February 28, 2007 I am having the same problem with my cub. Spark one minet then none the next. Hope you figer it out. Quote
dajogejr Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 I have a spare CDI off my old 96 motor that I know works, I bought a Dyna so it sits in my tool box. I know the harness ends aren't the same, but...if you pay for shipping and promise to reconnect the wires after splicing them, you can use it to test if no one else can help you out.... PM me if you'd like me to ship it to you, prolly cost 5 to 8 bucks via Fed Ex..... Quote
moneybags Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 Carl, just came to my house and found out what was wrong with my cub. It was the flywheel. I have not been ably to get this thing going for 4 or 5 weeks now. I was having the same problem as you. Spark every now and agin. I think that you should get a flywheel to test on your Banshee. Hope this will help you. Quote

Hope this will help you. Niether of us thought that a flywheel could be a problem, but I remeber reading on here if it rattles then it is bad. I could hear it rattle, but moneybags couldn't. It is really a faint rattle. So we swaped it out to my running bike and it didn't run, so we put mine on his and his ran. I thought that a flywheel was just a chuck of metal with magnets glued on it, but I guess there is more too them. Swap it out and see if that is it, it took us about 30min to do that. Quote
