2002banshee05 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 hey, i am having problems with my banshee. It starts up and will run great for about 5 minutes and then all of a sudden itjust shuts down and stops running, like its not getting gas or sumthing. Then i go to kick it over and it doesnt start. So i let it sit for about 10 minutes and then it starts right away and does the same thing over again. Any ideas of what it might be?? Thank you Quote
Flanagans twin Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 might be getting ready to detinate, check compression, plugs, air filter. Quote
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 not sure if this is your problem but shit like this happens to me. i would look to see what the filters look like in your gas tank or pull the line to see if you have a constant flow of gas. if the filters are dirty it may take 10 min to fill the fuel bowl and 1 to empty them. just my 2 cents.

snowmanzz13 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 sounds like a compression issue to me as this is a big thing with nitro r/c cars, when the motor gets worn out and starts to lose compression, it doesn't like to run. But thats a nitro r/c motor which has sleeves that stretch and can be repinched, and when the sleeve stretches when it gets hot (heat expands the metal) it loses all compression on the piston, and when you let it cool off (the coolenss retracts the metal) it gains it's compression back just enought untill it gets hot again. But again, this is NITRO R/C cars and i've never had my banshee motor's compression to terribly low before i blow it up and need to rebuild the topend Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 do a leakdown test. i have a shee in my shop right now that will fire up first kick but after abaout 10 seconds it will bog out and die. after it sits for a couple it will fire back up and 10 seconds it dies again. pulled the stator cover and when it dies it will puff smoke from behind the flywheel so i'm thinkin its the crank seal or wiring on the stator but i'm leaning twords the crank seal. i'd do a leak down anyway just to cover your bases...

rubberneck Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 clogged vent line on the tank. Try running the bike with the cap loose and see if the bike runs fine. Quote
2strokespirit Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 Check your fuel line, the filter in the tank are maybe dirty, it might be a crank seal, it can even be the stator itself. I have a YZ250 in my shop which starts easy, runs fine, but when on operating temp, it just starts backfiring and dies, in this case it was the left crank seal and the stator coil. But, it can be a lot of other things as well, difficult to diagnose a problem without seeing the bike. Quote
