RUNMYTA Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I am finally breaking the shee back out of her hibernation. Anyway, here is my crazy issue with here. I think I might have a coil problem, but wanted to check with you guys to see what you have to say before I buy a new coil. Bike starts and idles fine. It will take off good then sounds and feels like it falls off to 1 cylinder. I can pull the left cylinder plug wire off the spark plug and it dies. I replace that one and start back up and pull the right plug off and she runs but you can tell it is on 1 cylinder. ***Kicker*** I swap the plug wires and perform the same test and both cylinders die. Where as the other way the right cylinder would stay running. Should the engine die if one of the plugwires are pulled? I know this is crazy, but I am stumped! Quote
blowit Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Replace plug caps and plugs. Caps can be easily tested but easier for most to just replace. Remember to cut off about .25in of plug wire to ensure good contact with the new ones. Use LUBE on the caps they they thread up nice and buy the watercraft NGK ones. Brandon Quote

RUNMYTA Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Posted May 24, 2008 NYUK, It has been awhile! I just finished my 2nd tour in Iraq and that has hindered the Banshee riding or any riding at all. I will be home for a while and getting the Shee back up to par is one of my goals! Quote
