Help Fix Damn Banshee

first I had to change jets on it. Then I fired it up, and only 1 cyclinder runs. The other side there was gas overflow happening. So after a week of not running. it won't start!!! Now got another problem. any tips would help.


Thanks!!!

OK, the plugs are switched. but still the banshee doesn't want to start. Thinking about just dump'n all the fuel out of the carbs. then try again. Is there anything else that you recommend?

Drain the carb bowl, and take it apart and clean it out..their may be dirt and such clogging one of the jets

Have you tried to see if their is alot of spark?

make sure your getting spark to your plug.. and from what it sounds like one of your floats are stuck open thats why your gettin overflow........ take off the bowl and check your float to make sure its not varnished or gummed up.......clean it if it is and check your main jet...pilot jet to make sure their not blocked..... make sure to check for SPARK

Post Update

Alright. I cleaned the bowls out and replaced the plugs. I tried to fire it up again at no success. I'm checking for spark, but nothing from both sparkplugs. So...what's next guys?


Thanks a lot for all the help guys

Check all your wires, and check out the CDI(black box). You might wanna switch it out. Have you messed with teh TORS system? That could be a possiblity. Be sure the gap is set on the plugs correctly

If any of that doesnt work, let me know

I just guessed on the gap size, would you know what size gap I should really have????

Explain TORS?

CDI - would I need to check it even though it did run last week?

Really, the gap depends on the spark plug.

TORs, is the throttle shutoff incase the throttle sticks and plugs into the top of the carbs.

Try bumpstarting it and see if it works...get it in 2nd, pull in the clutch, and get it rolling and let out the clutch slowly.
