Banshee running on one cylinder

[Mean4x4]

Okay my banshee is basically stock with a couple minor mods. its a 99 or 98. It has the TORS removal kit. the " passenger " carb is leaking gas and I'm not getting any kind of combustion on that same cylinder. It has 155lbs of compression & it also has good spark. My question is: is the carb float stuck or sticking and flooding out the cylinder? Also There is black wet spray coming out of the pipe. The left cylinder is fine though & running hot & solid? Any suggestions?

It does sound like to float is stuck for the carb to be leaking.

I had the same problem a few weeks back and mine turned out to be the needle jet. Not the needles but the part that the needles sit inside of. If you remove the main jet and washer take a small punch and push the center up " the brass that the main screws into" It should push to the top fairly easy but you may need to tap lightly. It can only be removed from the top so you should already have the caps off if you got this far. Soak them in cleaner and hold up to light each hole should be clear they have a bunch of tiny air holes. Mine run great after getting these clean. My left cylinder was the problem and would idle and fire on top just not in the midrange. Sometimes if I reved her she would backfire. I hope this helps. Get new plugs and Clymers manuel this is the Banshee Bible.

155psi....Son you have more than a slightly modded engine..you sound like you're bored over from stock. if you have spark you have combustion. Sounds like you are running rich if you have crap spitting out your exhaust. A stock bore engine should be at no more than 135-140psi. i would check to make sure you don't have an air leak, your jetting, slides, etc.....most importantly give us some more about you location....such as elevation, temp., all motor mods that you know of, and if you have aftermarket pipes, and if you have the stock air box or running filter pods. I'm pretty sure that some one here will be able to help you.

Could be a broken set of reeds that is what mine was doing and come to find out it was the vforce2 reed petals had broken in one cylinder.
