yo wut up.my name mo an i have a problem with my 04banshee (my baby grl)...i went mudding one weekend an the day after she wouldnt start...now after i went an change the plugs it still wont start. The only thing that starts it up is pushing it like 4 or five times down my drive way? Can Any Body direct me in the direction Thank you

 

its most likely got low compression. how much time have you put on it? stock pistons i assume? id do a compression check, being ignorant to start can be low compression or maybe it might be running lean due to cold weather

 

Do you think it could be the carbs? Befor I go an check the compressin. An basicly your tellin me 2re-build Motor?

 

But if it's the compression how come I can push or pull start I??? By the way Happy Thanks Giving

 

well doing a compression check is easier then messing with your carbs, but you can do a plug chop to see how its running, to do so you want to warm your bike up on old plugs then switch to new plugs and run full throttle to 6th gear then pull clutch in and hit kill switch then pull plugs and see what they look like, to be exact you want a 2mm brown smoke ring on the bottom of the white part(porcelin) on the plug, you actually have to cut the side of your plug to be able to see this ring because its on the bottom, but if you dont see a brown ring then its prolly too lean and if its got alot of brown around it then its too rich heres an example
