My fiance has a 2001 Yamaha Banshee that won't stay running. He had it sitting for a few years and then replaced the gas and oil, cleaned the carbs and got new spark plugs. We've had to push start it every time we started it. The last time we got it started, ran it for a while, then let it idle...and then it died and we couldn't get it started again. The air filters look clean and we cleaned the carbs again and it still won't start. Can you help?
If your jetting is too rich it will be extremely hard to kick start it and will most likely flood it from kicking.First thing i would do is pull the top of the carbs off (cable,slides and needles) and see which clip they're set at. If they are set stock which would be middle clip then lower the needle one clip. This will lean the mix out and should start up easier with no problems,The idle issue is most likely just off.If your fiance still has the TORS on it then on top of the carbs he will see 2 dime size and screws and wires as soon as he takes his seat off.While running he can turn each dime size screw in or out to adjust the idle. If it has a TORS elimator kit on it then he won't have all the junk on top of the carbs and it will be just a cable and round cap screwed directly on top of the carbs and the idle screws will be on the side of each carb (brass color screws with nuts to tighten) same thing...in or out to adjust the idle where needed.Hope this helps.
