What do you do when kick starting the Banshee, does not start it?

What techniques shall I use to make it start as I am kick starting it.

Thanks.

 

i usually just put starting fluid in it, but i'am curious on what other people do.

 

check everything over again. Starting fluid is bad for a 2 stroke

 

Check and see if you have a good spark....Check your plugs....

 

I give it choke and a <U>little</U> bit of throttle on first kick and no more gas after that and it always fires on the second or third kick. I have seen people mash the throttle everytime they kick and all this does is flood the carb. Give it enough gas to crank it on the first kick and it should have enough fuel in there to crank. If you do flood the motor, then hold the throttle all the way down while kicking it quickly several times to get air to flow through the carbs and evaporate the excess gas. Hope this was the help you were looking for.

why is starting fluid bad for 2 strokes?

 

Check your plug gap....Usually in my experience the plug gap even though may be to specs can still be made just a bit smaller.

 

I usually clean the plugs with a torch or drop in some new ones.

Check the plugs, try the choke.
