Carburetor on the side that's wet, need repair.

14 - 41 = 2.93 ratio 15 - 46 = 3.06 ratio.. 6-7 links.. you need to move the axle all the way forward when installing a new chain... (it will stretch!) moving the axle all the way forward gives you plenty of adjustment later!!

Hi the cable needs slack if you take all the adjust out meaning the is no free play in the cable your taking the pressure off of the clutch plates causing it to not be engauged.

Hey Mike, Sounds like your carburetors need a qualified professional to clean and set them... I have built several race banshee's.. the carburetors being perfect are essential to making it run good.. The compression should be at least 125PSI on each cyl. MINIMUM.

check your pickup coil?

I am not really understanding what is going on... .. OK...With ALL the clutch components and the drive chain removed - can you (in each gear) SPIN the main transmission shaft ALOT( 20+ turns) in the correct (drive) direction?..I think its counterclockwise. It is important to remove the drive chain and all clutch components to do this check. You are checking for a SINGLE CRACKED GEAR TOOTH .. the crack will be at the base of a tooth. Do this check exactly as described.. you are checking the functionality of the transmission alone. - no clutch-no drive chain. If you do have a cracked tooth, the transmission will only rotate about 340 degrees in either direction. If it was the clutch giving the problem, it would happen in ALL gears... After the check.. repost and we'll go from there.

pull the kicker case cover, probably something simple jammed up in there...if you didnt break her in keeping revs under 2000rpm for 10-20 hours you may have broke something internal again, lets hope not

Hey Anon, this is NOT something to "try and learn" how to do..find a professional that is will to tutor you when you do this for the first time! It COULD save you A LOT of $$$$!!!!!

If you have good spark then it's most likely a fuel issue, anything off of idle is dealing with the main jet and metering needle, clean jet and check needle for excessive wear.

Check the fuel flow through the tank valve. There are screens inside the tank that may be blocked and restricting flow.
