dragbanshee98 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 i bought a banshee about a week ago... it has a few mods and new pistons, pipe and clutch. there are about 3 tanks through the motor... does not want to rev up like i think it should... tryed draggin it and on take off unless i revved it to the moon, it would hesitate real bad through every gear, but if i kept it revved up, it outran every other wheeler that i came up against... would this be because the motor is new and the pistons are still really tight??? not sure what the problem is... HELP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POORBOY350 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 MINE stalled really bad on bottom end until i got to top end and stalled in every gear but it was because my reed boots or whatever were leaking. they have a big crack in them i'd check them for leaks for the hell of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1qwkgoat Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Has it been ported? If so did the person possibly not know what they where doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragbanshee98 Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 it has not been ported, and i assume it is jetted right, but not sure.. it only has three tramks through the new wiseco pistons that have been bored over 20 thounsandths, and would that do this problem because the pistons are really tight???

Pistons can't be tight or they would heat up and sieze. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNCC Grad Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Sounds like a fat pilot jet. What jets are you running, needle clip positions and what mods? Try this. Put it on half choke or tie a zip tie on the choke shaft to space it out and give it choke. If it revs better you are lean on the pilot, if it gets worse you could be fat. I'd also pull the carb slides and set the needle to the middle clip. My bike had the needle too far up making it hesitate. When I dropped the needle it made a big difference.
