shovelhead Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) Well guys I need your help again. I finally got my shee back together a little while ago & I was excited to start her up..but NO it didn't happen..Damn OK I put on a Toomey T5 kit, I did each carb jetting seperately to aviod any mix up everything went smooth, Then I put them back on & Yes I kept those damn Tors.. I then proceeded to install the new T5's. No problems, I also did a Ign Swap with a new Dyna mod. Plug & play deal No problems..Air box Mod done .Everything hooked back up Gas turned on , gas was flowing to both carbs..NO Start!! I removed the Dyna, re-installed the stock one ..still NO! Put Dyna back on & Now I am lost. This is a New 06 Banshee 2 months old. I have some knowledge to perform mechanical , but I am lost when it comes to electrical? Could it be something in that Tors system? ( Yes I plugged it back in) It was cold out in garage, so this all I did so far ..I knew maybe someone here could help me figure it out better than guessing.. It really sucks. I have been waiting for this day like 2 months.. I guess someday I will get to ride it.. any help or suggestions of things to look for greatly appreciated. P.S. Keep in mind that I only have had this Banshee 2 months, and ridden it like twice . I start it by turning on key, push button to start pos., Choke on & kick.. Is this correct?

snowmanzz13 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 check for the stupid things such as key on and the kill switch on, what about the choke tube? is it in place? Quote
shovelhead Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Posted January 22, 2008 check for the stupid things such as key on and the kill switch on, what about the choke tube? is it in place? All 3 Yes! I figure it is going to be some stupid thats just my luck.. Quote
shovelhead Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Posted January 22, 2008 OK I just went out & checked for spark at plugs..OH YES! It has juice.. leads to beleive it is something to due with Tors or carbs themselves? Quote
brian Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 you gotta check to see if youre getting any spark. pull one plug connect it to the wire hold the ground to a head stud/nut and start it as you would normally. if there is no spark you gotta look at the electrical stuff if there is spark problem probly with carbs.

brian Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 did you put the slides back in the correct carb (left/right) ? Quote
shovelhead Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) did you put the slides back in the correct carb (left/right) ? Hey Brian, I thought surely I did, as I kept them seperatley on the proper side of bike, but I am not 100% sure? How could I tell? & how would effect them? Not questioning you, just trying to learn from you... also when tightening down the caps w/t tors is there any way to screw up? I didn't know how tight to tighten them ?

I didn't know how tight to tighten them ? do you have stock carbs? if so there is a window on the Right side of each carb, twist your throttle slowly and watch in the windows for the little ping mark to show up, if it doesn't...you're in the wrong sides.

shovelhead Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Posted January 22, 2008 do you have stock carbs? if so there is a window on the Right side of each carb, twist your throttle slowly and watch in the windows for the little ping mark to show up, if it doesn't...you're in the wrong sides. Ok just checked,... at full open throttle I see the ping in window! Quote
NitroTate Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Ok just checked,... at full open throttle I see the ping in window! Rules that out... just make sure both pings are showing up at the same time (then they are in sync). Is your choke tube in? Crossover tube in? All jets/needles in place? Fuel turned on? Are the plugs wet? Quote
fastrthnu Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 the cut out on the slides should be facing the filters. did you adjust you air screws at all? try 2 turns out initial from all the way in for a starting point. have someone shot a shot or 2 of starter fluid into the carbS while you kick it with the filters off and see if it fires. How does your choke work? And what jetting kit did you use? Sometimes depending on where you are,. the one toomey supplies may not work so well. Also did you try with the throttle patially open. Maybe even have someone cover the carb ends with hands on kicking to further choke it. Quote

Ok man, I thought I had found the problem..the choke tube had come off the left.I put it on & nothing.. anyway Both pings in windows at exact same time, all jets in & needles...BUT plugs are NOT wet... It dumps fuel out of overflows like crazy when i try to start it up. does any of this add up? Quote

Maybe even have someone cover the carb ends with hands on kicking to further choke it. Slides are OK....I did not mess with air screws... Choke is stock with stock carbs..Jetting kit was Toomey's 280 & 4th groove Yes I did try with throttle part open..I haven't tried starting fluid..????? Quote

Someone else a little more "carb-savvy" might want to chime in but it sounds like you need to take a look at your jets like someone else said and your screw setting as well as for any kind of blockage in the jets. Your carbs are definitely the problem it sounds like. Be very careful with starting fluid, it's not good for your bike. Quote
