Im havin some problems with my shee starting. Heres ther story...

I stored my shee on the grab bar for about 2 weeks when i didnt have enough room in my garage to fit all 5 quads i had. I shut the gas off, but now it doesnt want to start until i flip it down, turn the gas on, turn the gas back off, flip it up to drain the carbs then bring it back down. (people were saying the floats were stuck, they werent.)

Thats how the problem started, well i must have taken the carbs apart 6 times now and went through 5-6 cans of carb cleaner and the problem kept on happening. Ive been wanting to remove the TORS system for awhile so while i was at it i snipped the 2 bottom wires that come off of the part that sits on the carb. The quad ran fine when i took it for a test ride after that but then it wouldnt idle, if i let off the throttle completely the the quad would stall. I tried messing with the idle but that wasnt the problem. I noticed that when the switch inside the box above the thumb throttle was enganged it would run fine but one it was disengaged it would die. So i thought that was a part of the TORS system, so i cut the switch out. The quad idled fine and ran fun but i was back to the problem of what im guess were the floats, the quad wouldnt start if it was cold and i left the gas on. The quad is definietly getting gas and air and i tried fresh gas and oil and it didnt work. I have no idea what the problem was and i was hoping you could give me some help. It would be greatly appreciated.

When you remove the TORS on the Banshee carbs, you must install the idler kit also. Basicly you have to drill a hole into each carb, tap the hole and install the idler screws. The idler screws now control your idle. If you do not have them, it will not idle well if at all.

 

Well turns out it was some kinda black flaky paint-like buildup on the reeds, sprayed em with carb cleaner and it runs now.

 

did i not tell you to check the reeds

 

Hey JLsparky7....Somthing just hit me...You had it sitting on its grab bar...What if the gas came out the overflows and went into your CDI box..And now you have a little fluid in your cdi box..Even a little water could have came out the overflow on the radiator..Its just a tought.

 

Thats a good call, ill check that out.
