slow87banshee Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Bought a 87 shee a month or so ago, ran great. last weekend i took it riding and it was breaking up some up top. Now i took it out and i have no bottom end. Takes forever to rev and once it does it sounds like youre going fast but not nearly as fast as it should be. Motor was rebuilt in 06 and has about 10 hrs on it. It took the plastics off and seen is there supposed to be a shaft or something that goes between the two carbs where the choke is? looks like a hole in each carb between them? Also it looks like i have a little oil in one of the tailpipes? any help would be greatly appreciated, its my first quad that ive had to do anything too. Quote
05.Banshee.SE Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Doesn't the cross over tube belong between the carbs? I may be mistaken, I'm sure someone else knows more. If that's not it..check your jets, air filter, plugs. Quote
dragbanshee Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Get a piece of fuel line or gas cap tubing and cut a piece to fit from carb to carb about 2" long, measure them while there on. Quote

slow87banshee Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Posted August 24, 2008 Thanks guys i'll try that in the morning. Quote
slow87banshee Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Posted August 24, 2008 Runs better but only getting smoke out of one tailpipe. Quote

Just make sure your air mixture screws are equally adjusted around 1 1/2 out from seated: "screw them in then turn out 1 1/2". check to make sure carbs are syncronized, take breather out and check carb. slides to make sure when you work the throttle both slides work exactly at the same time. If one moves before the other you will need to adjust. If this doesn't help you will need to take carbs off and go through them and clean, pull the jets and make sure there not clogged, which you may want to do first if you haven't yet. Quote

Is that cyl. not firing? And you have spark, you may want to do a compression check. Plus put new plugs in. Br8es plugs gapped at .028-.032 Quote
