roughneck2000 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 HELP. I just rebuilt my banshee last week. It started up with 2 kicks but noticed left side cyl will was not firing. So i started troubleshooting the easiest first. New plugs that are gapped, switched around plug wires, switched around carbs, and still left wont fire. Took readings with ohmmeter, stator is good, preformed the primary coil test wich also checked out. Next i was told to start it up and put my hand over the left side carb and feel for suction, which there is. So im pretty sure the motor is sealed up tight. When I pull the plugs left is soaking wet and right plug isnt far behind, I havent messed with the jetting since it ran last. My compression is up to 165 psi on both sides. I havent preformed a crankshaft pressure test but if both carbs are sucking air ........ then there should be no leak... right??? Any help will be greatly appericated.

TexasBansheeMan Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) BROKE REED, Bad seal @ Case & CYL, Rings Broke or on wrong. If you left plug wire will fire the right cyl its not electrical. Edited February 7, 2008 by TexasBansheeMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbanshee8 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Bad spark plug boot, too much gap between the flywheel, and the pickup coil, or simply a bad spark plug. Even if the plugs are brand new, they can still be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubledsol Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I am having the same issues on the same side as well as a buddy of mine A local shop that specializes in shees says we could have twisted cranks Hope you figure it out if we find out the problem on ours I will let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ranger Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I would say that if the left plug is wet and the other appears to be rich then perhaps you need to remove/clean and adjust your carbs. Are you choking it too long? Perhaps your floats are sticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
