Default 2001 Banshee Problem

I have a 2001 Banshee I just picked up.

I recently cleaned the air filter, replaced the spark plugs, bled both brakes master cylinders. I attempted to clean the carbs with carb cleaner while the air filter was out. The bike bogged and shut down. I couldn't get it started again. I checked for spark after noticing the plugs where soaked with fuel, I attached a clean plug to one of the spark plug wires and layed in on the cylinder head to check for spark, no dice. I can't see why there is no spark, before I cleaned everything it ran pretty good (all it needed was a cleaning).

Any Ideas?????

I did mess with the parking brake, could that be the problem?

What is the TORM (throttle override module)?

I've owned motorcross bikes (250, 125, etc.) never had a problem like this.

Any input would be great.

Nutty!

Just something to check.Do a compression check.If the banshee normally runs with the air box lid on,and you run it with the lid off and no air filter,you may have leaned out.This could have burned it up.It's just a suggestion.

Compression is probably not the problem if he is not even getting a spark with a fresh plug.
Try disconnecting the TORS system.
I would also check for a short where the kill button is. Perhaps a wire is grounding out?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
