my buddy just bought a 99 banshee thats was bone stock, it wasnt running though. he got the cylinders bored .50 over and new wiesco pistons. i put it all together for him since i knew how to put a top end on it. i have plenty of spark through both plugs and both carbs are clean as a whistle, getting gas, but its hard to crank and when it does crank it will run on the left cylinder all the time but its a hit or miss on the right cylinder. and it will eventually foul out the right plug. i was wondering what to do to it next. reeds?

 

anyone?? just need some info

 

Hmmmmm, check your Stator coils for continuity.... There are 12 coils on the Stator, you must check each one...Check the Ignition coil as well..... You can do this with an Ohmmeter.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Check to see if the tube between the carbs is in place.It won't run right without it.If not unhook all the tors bs and see if it will run right.

 

My left cylinder would fire hit or miss. It had spark, fuel, and compression. It also spit oil out of the pipe. The carbs where perfectly clean. I finally got it fixed by replacing the pilot jet and needle in the carb.

 

i made sure that the tube between the intake boots was in place good, and the coils are pefrect.

 

Take your reed cages out and check out your reeds....

 

Dosent the banshee have a system that sparks both sides at the same time? if so just switch the plug caps and if it dosent switch sides then its a fuel air prob.

 

when checking the reeds what do i need to look for other than if they was broke or a gap in them?

 

Hold them up to the light and look for cracks, or some sort of distortion....
