Hey guys! I got a 2000 bone stock banshee. It seems like the rpm at an idle are much lower than before when it ran top notch. I cleaned the carbs and everything and cleaned the plugs. After that it ran perfect. Now the idle is choppy and inconsistent and when in gear riding, when its pinned it doesn't bog down and die but it takes a very long time for it to hit the high rpms and stay in the powerband but once it hits high rpms it runs pretty well. It was colder out that day probably around 40 degrees tops. Simply need new plugs? Or jetting? I would greatly appreciate any responses. Thanks!

 

It sounds like plugs, they are easy to foul on a 2 stroke. Have you been lugging it around any lately? Sure sounds like it is misfiring in one cylinder due to a fouled plug.

 

Not at all. I know ya gotta keep em runnin high in the r's all the time. It's got a gas leak if the fuel switch doesn't get turned off though. Any connections do you think?

 

what color were your plugs before u cleaned them? it sounds like u might have a air leak somewhere, or your your fuel/air ratio off
