zpolencheck Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 has stock carbs, with 250 main jets for banshee with t4's, open top airbox, and uni filter. the rest is stock. I drove it for 3 hours on saturday night, then sunday I started it and went 2 miles then it started to run boggy on the right side, I thought it was a spark plug so I changed them. Still did it, and it would idle fine, and run fine in the powerband but anywhere else the right side sounded like it was running much slower than the left side, like it was firing HALF as much as the left side. spark seems good, carbs are 100 percent synced. I also checked the gaskets for the reeds/etc for the bad running side. plugs are clean and the right might be a little wet but not terrible. with the air box off the right side spits a very small amount of misted gas out of the back otherwise everything else LOOKS fine. compression is good. How could it run perfect all night, then in the day less than 10 min into a ride it runs like this and I can't figure it out? It does have stock tors that i didn't check, that i was unsure if it was possible to mess it up. I have run out of ideas so please help. Quote
dajogejr Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Disconnect the TORS. The connectors on top of the carbs, the black box under the seat, at the throttle and disconnect the parking brake wires. Before you try and diagnose any further, try to remove that culprit... Then, if that doesn't change anything, switch plug wires and put fresh plugs in again...gapped at .028. See if it kills/misfires the other cylinder. If so, bad coil or bad plug caps (Bad end caps are common on banshee stock coils.) Quote
zpolencheck Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Posted April 26, 2007 unplugged all tors crap, switched plug wires and it still ran the same (right side fires half the time and is COLD exhaust). I also cleaned the carb, pilot jet and main jet were clean. It is obviously a carb problem b.c switching the plug wires from one to the other made no difference... but WHAT! it is startin to piss me off. the only thing i noticed was the washer that goes under the main jet was not there, BUT why did it run great for 3 hours and all of a sudden run like crap in the MIDDLE of a ride? I could see if i was messing with stuff, put it back together and it ran bad then I would just retrace my steps...but this is just odd. Any more suggestions? Quote
