My banshee has started acting up. I start it and it idles fine, but when I ride it and gives it alot of gas it acts like it was running out of gas (but the tank is full), then if i give it some choke its OK for 30 feet then it does it again. If I drive it on idle it's fine. I cleaned the carbs like 20 times, I adjusted the floats to specs.I can not figure out what caused this to hapened. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

PARKING BRAKE!! that dreaded P.O.S.!! chec kit [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

yup, TORS at it again.

 

i hate yamaha's P brake

 

I checked it it's not the parking brake. I can make it rev for about 30 seconds and the motor screams then it stats acting up. Thanks for trying.

 

sounds like someone's vent on their gas cap is kinked/clogged. check your vent hose i'll almost guarantee that it is kinked or clogged. it would cause a vaccuum in your full tank, especially when its full [of gas]. it'll run at idle or with choke because it doesnt require that much gas. as soon as you start crackin on the throttle, it demands too much gas.

 

how old is your banshee??

 

I would say that one of your slides is sticking, but you said you cleaned your carbs, so maybe do a compression check and take it from there.
