My banshee has been sitting all winter, and ive wanted lately to get it going since its going warmer and the snow is melting. But I tryed starting my banshee and no go. everyone else i know's banshee they had going in a few kicks. I changed the plugs and put some gas down the spark plug and it would fire right up and then die and thats it. It seems like its not getting any gas into the carbs? or ive been told that the float may be stuck because i havent used it in like 4 months. I pulled off the hose going to the carb and the gas is going through it. Any Ideas guys what be great. Thanks

 

Did you let it sit with fuel in the carbs all winter? If you did...I would take the float bowls off and give everything a good rinse with fresh fuel.

 

ya i did let the fuel sit in the carbs all winter, all i really did to it was put a little bit of oil down the spark plug holes

 

pull everything apart and clean it thats the only thing i can tell ya

 

i mgith buy a she it is a 2000 or 01 nor sure well any way the guy told me it has bin sittiing for well over a year and it wotn start he told me do u think i would need to take carbs off and clean them and get new plugs and waterver elses i would need?

 

I store my banshee every winter...It sits for at least 3-4 months without being started.

Every spring, I remove the carbs take them apart for a cleaning, Change the plugs, clean/oil filter, Drain/ flush fuel tank and lube everything that moves on the bike. I have never had a problem getting the bike running with that method.
