Why is my banshee hard starting?
It looks like your compression is too low (worn rings from dusted motor) Push starting spins the motor faster than kick starting and when hot the rings expand just enough to seal off. Before kicking a cold motor try putting in a squirt or two of engine oil in the plug hole to see if there is a difference.
Are Banshees hard to maintain?
The Yamaha Banshee 350 is one of the most popular sport quads of all time, but don’t let the fact that is a two stroke make you think the maintenance is hard. Contrary to what many people think, the maintenance is actually pretty easy and many say it is easier to maintain than the new four stroke quads.
How do you start a flooded banshee?
If it is flooded, leave the plugs out, hold WOT and kick it as fast as you can about 20-30 times, put the plugs back in, hold throttle wide open and kick, if you’re lucky it will start, if not, pull the plugs, dry them and keep trying.
Why Banshees were discontinued?
Yamaha stopped production of the Banshee in North America in 2006 due to EPA regulations. The Banshee is considered an off road ATV and not one designed for closed courses only, so they were affected by this regulation. The Banshee has been the Dune King for a very long time in some ATV rider’s minds.
Are Banshees good quads?
The 34-hp, 386 lb, two-stroke Yamaha Banshee is easy to maintain, ideal for dirt and dunes, readily modified, described as virtually indestructible, and often called by off-road enthusiasts as the greatest ATV of all time. Does that make it a good quad? Yes. The endlessly fun Banshee is one good quad.
What’s better banshee or raptor?
the banshee and the raptor will be pretty close in actual performance, but the hit of a 2 stroke is a different ride then the torque of a 4 stroke, it really depends on the type of riding your planning on doing, if your doing any type trail riding, the raptor would probably be the better idea, both would equally suck …
Why doesnt my banshee have spark?
If left plugged in it can cause problems. If no spark at all it could be wiring, stator, coil, or cdi. If the wiring has been hacked on any thats where I would start looking. If you have spark and fuel and it still won’t run you may want to look to make sure the flywheel key has not been sheared.
