changed the pickup coil

[bigdaddy69]

my buddy has a 96 banshee. It wansnt getting spark and after we checked it out the pickup coil was bad. we changed the pickup coil and now when you start it the bastard just revs out like you have the throttle pinned. The bike did have tors but everything is unpluged I checked it myself multiple times.....basically we are all stumped on this one, so any help is greatly appreciated. We leave for little sahara on friday.

Sounds like the throttle is hung open. Maybe the carb slides. I dont see how changing the pick up coil would make it rev out. It has to have air/fuel to do that.

we've checked that over and over....and the slides are in the right way also

Thats all you guys messed with was the pickup? Id check the idle setting too. I know this sounds like easy stuff but thats usally what the problem turns out being. Something simple.

you name it we've done it....besides change the voltage regulator. i screwed with the idel screws for a long time and got nothing out of it. we've been up and down the wiring harnes a million times, chanaged the cdi, the coil....basically its just a nightmare and we dont know what the hell is causing it

What else did you mess with? I am thinking maybe something was not properly reinstalled when testing or checking it? It has to be an intake air leak or carb slides, thats the only way it can rev all the way up.

when we did my buddys carbs the float on th right side hung up and only let a small amount of fuel in an that caused it to rev out like that
