Default banshee question

another problem since i i got it to idle with choke on its ben actin weird
yesterday i started it with one kick with no choke not even a hard kick and its freezen outside
it idled a lil bit with choke on and then it will shut off after about a minute then it takes like
5 to 10 kicks to get it back on and wen it do come on it wont idle with or without the choke until i let it sit for
a day with gas off what could be causing this
and why does it only idle with choke on could it be my airscrews adjusted rong

thanks for the replys
but that could be the problem one little dirt spec
could mess up the hole bike these 2 strokes are sensitive
but once tuned right very riliable and can take a beatin
i think it jus might be to cold
thaat can make it run lean and thats not good so ill jus try and get
the engine warm and play with idle and air screws
and again thanks

Don't touch anything unless you know what you are doing. It's colder this time of year, let the engine properly warm up before asuming you have a problem.

banshees do not have valves there a 2 stroke. if you have a garage i would start it in there first (with the door open)it might be a few degrees warmer in there,
let it warm up a bit thenn check the screws. but i know on mine the choke will get stuck every once in while and i have to take apart the carbs clean them, and the choke and that has always solved the problem. GOOD LUCK

Atv carbs are pretty sensitive. I agree on letting it warm up for 5 or 10 then mess with the carbs.

Go up one or two sizes on your main jets. That will compensate the air/fuel volume. When it gets colder the air gets more dence and your pulling more air than fuel per volume. What carbs are you running and what jets do you have in them?
