Engine not starting

[350power]

Ok So today when i come home. I allways plan to ride my fourwheeler with my buddies. but my fourwheeler didnt start.

 

I got a stock 02 banshee 350 twin

 

Whats HAPPENS:

1. Right when i kick it i hold the throttle allmost wide open and you can hear it. it starts but dosnt open up it stays in this little vibrating noise even when im holding it wide open. My uncle said it sounded like it wasnt geting enough gas. it never starts all the way. it just dies.

 

WHAT I THOUGHT

 

I could just pull start it. so i hooked it up to my truck and pull started it. It cmae right out of what ever state it was in and was idling finnally. i was so happy it even started all the way.

 

So i was letting it warm up as my uncle push in the throttle cable. and it had like a .5 second delay till it powers up. right after he did this it sounded like it really wasnt getting the gas it needed to stay alive. i dont know why but it just sounded like an old person in the hospital grasping for air. then it jst died.

 

 

WHAT I TRIED>

 

Ok so i replaced all spark plugs.

 

CHECKED the gas

 

TRIED PULL starting it.

 

Cleand air fileter

 

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME>

check for a broken reed, compression check, are the torrs hooked up, parking brake set?

Parking Brake. thsi brake broke last wekend. maybe thats why. I was doing wheelies in the field and i had wrecked once but it was just my fourwheeler coming all the way back.and when the grap bar hit the ground i was thrwn off but my fourwheeler went back down. After that my parking brake dont want to work.

I dont really know much about how to fix banshees. or really how to do anything to them. i jsut race my friends and pull stunts. So i think ill just take it to the shop.

where you located?? they really are not that hard to work on once you know the basics. go buy your self a clymers manual and start reading. It will show ya how to rebuild your bike from top to bottom.

 

did the parking brake wire get damaged in the crash? it is the wire that goes to the clutch lever. trace it down in front of the radiator and unplug it, see if the bike starts then

 

a shop is gonna charge ya big money to fix your bike. I would try and fix it my self it was me, but its your call.

Yeah it is definatlly damaged because it wont work anyomre. but why would the parking brake have anything to do with it.

[badassbanshee479]

because the stock bikes have a wire hooked to the parking brake that make the bike not be able to rev up when the parking brake is set. the damaged wires could be making the torrs not work right which would cause the bike to not start.

Ok that sounds just like what is happening. Perfect. i wont be able to work on it myself today. but tommorow i will be able. to. Thank you is there nay way to give thanks to you.
