ok im a complete noob to atv's im into cars but just picked up a 04 banshee with a heavy list of mods when i looked at it the owner showed me how to start it it was cold and it started for him on the 3rd kick with choke on stayed running fine well now i brought it home went to start it and im kicking 50 friggin times and nothing choke on and off not hitting throttle has gas has spark switch is on now i have heard 2 strokes are very touchy about altitude and how its set up the guy i bought it from lived up north of me in the moutains dont know how much different it was from were i live but if that could have something to do with it ???? please help i wanna ride

also i have 2 titanium rods in my foot and 3 in my leg from car accident and the kick start is killing me should i unload this for a electric start atv or is there somekind of conversion to do this

 

same sort of problem when i got my yamoto 150 on the handle bars theres a kill switch now mine moves left or right and automaticly goes back to the midle in the running possition now i was try ing to start mine for days when i desided to ask my father for help as he is a engine sort of guy he came round and started it almost straight away what a tw*t i looked all it was was the kill switch push the button in and it resets it although its in the middle still stops it starting hope this helps

 

o also sounds silly rear brake lever pulled also out of gear before mine starts

 

our stock banshee starts in about 5 kicks no prob no matter the weather... just turn o nthe choke, make sure u had the percock shut off.... ever try dragging it to start it? jsut tow it at about 5 mph... put it in second or third, and pop the clutch and jump o nthe seat

 

my banshee starts on the first or second kick and it is really hard to start when it is hot. mine i dont give it any gas and kick it. some times you have to give it a lil gas(1/8 throttle). if you give it more than that it floods out. hope that helps!!!
