Diffrence in Banshee & raptor

[03RCode]

I've got an old Banshee sitting that I can't get to run. Looking to find a good mechanic that knows them inside out. Compression is strong, carbs are rebuilt, all electricals have been checked/replaced, has spark, fuel, but won't start for some reason.

Check your TORS system. Seems to be a PITA on those and causes all kinds of issues. Other than that how much psi on compression? Plugs gapped correctly? Make sure you're needle is moving properly. Can you describe what it's doing exactly?



Ohhh yeah, and make sure the choke tube going from one carb to the other is hooked up

I know crap about 2 strokes. 125psi each cylinder. Fresh engine rebuild.
Plugs gapped correctly. All electrical parts have been removed and tested via the FSM. New coil. Carbs have fresh rebuild. Everything seems right, but it won't crank.

Looking to just pay someone to fix it and get it running. It's all stock right now. Can you do it, or have someone who can (an won't waste my time)?

Try these first, their should be a little 3 pronged (IIRC) plug under the tank, unplug it, then make sure that choke tube is going in between the 2 carbs. Those 2 would both cause the issues your having. After that if it doesn't fire pull the plugs and see what they look like. I would love to be able to fix it for you, but with school, and GNCC season starting back up in a couple weeks I REALLY don't have time. If those things don't fix it, I can point you in the direction of someone who can

I was sitting around last night actually pondering on your issues here... a few other things came to mind.

1. Reeds... What kind of shape are they in? Did they appear cracked? Where they sitting flat against the cage? They can cause issues like this.

2. Float level... When you rebuilt the carbs did you make sure your float level was set properly?

3. Jetting... Is the bike stock? If it has any modifications to the intake/exhaust your jetting could be the issue.

4. Pilot length... If I remember correctly there are 2 separate length pilots, make sure you have the proper ones for a Banshee/RD carb.

5. TORS... It's a little PITA. Can cause issues you would never expect it to. Unplug it under the tank and see if it helps.
