ok i have a 2000 banshee...i just swapped frames on it and an switched everything over. but it wont start i did everything i was supposed to do, so i took off the airbox and sprayed gas into the carbs and she fired right up.....she idled great and was screamin once again. so when i put my gas on and went to fire her up.....nothing. what could be wrong. cause this really sux. thanks

 

Take your spark plug out, take a piece of rubber hose, like gas line, put it in the tank and put your finger over the end, a little bit should do, put the end down inside the cylinder and let your finger off, put the plug back in, kick it over, it should start right up. Sometimes you just gotta get things flowing before it will run right, I had an old blaster that would sometimes start right off but most of the time you had to jump it, sometimes not and Id have to do the gas trick... I dunno, worth a try?

 

Well it started up when i sprayed the gas thru the carbs i am just not getting feul to the engine....i dunno why?

 

This may sound stupid but wack the carb with a screwdriver or something, mabe you have a stuck float? Also check the tank vent hose, on my blaster it was way too long and all crumpled up, cut it and tis been running fine since.

 

My guess is that you don't have the "crossover hose" connected onto BOTH carbs, it's the little piece of black hose that connects to both carbs for the choke, take off the airbox lid and see if it's connected to both carbs.

 

ITs all connected, except for my vent hoses. i didnt put em on, would that be the cause

 

What did you do with your old frame?
I know someone that may want one.

you didn't take the carb tops off and mix up the slides did you? the left slide is different than the right.

 

Well for the first question, i bent the frame after crashing the biotch on a jump, ending up breakin my collar bone 5 spots too....right now it is sitting my back yard. and no i didntmess wit the slides...didnt tough em....so what else could it be...!thanks for all the replies
