My buddy just bought an 2001 banshee.. The bike starts up with 2 or 3 kicks but does not want to idle and as weird as it sounds ever like 10 seconds give or take it will like cough out the shifter side exhaust. I dont know to about these bikes can anyone help??

 

maybe it has trash in the gas carb problems maybe prob needs some maintance and tuneing has it been siting up

 

We have no idea he just picked it up last night. i have no clue how long it was sitting for. the gas kinda smells bad to. we are going to try and give both carbs a good clean and go from there. im not use to the entire dual carb deal just trying to get a lead on what it might be. would you happen to know what the wires coming out of the top of each carb are for bc they were not plugged in.

 

most of the times there are problems when you buy used atvs but the banshee is so popular that parts for it are easily to come by

 

I'd start with cleaning the carbs.

 

could be a bunch of different things, maybe dirty carbs, or they could be out of sync, and the TORS could also be acting up.

 

I had the same problem last season with mine...All I did was Jet the carbs and tune the idle. Worked just fine after that
