Hello everyone. I finally got everything ready to start up my Banshee but I haven't got any spark. I thought it may be the TORS but I'm pretty sure that the TORS won't stop you from getting spark. I know how to remove it and will try it tomorrow but is this the proper process? "Disconnect the TORS at the carbs, cut the wires going into your throttle, disconnect the wires to the parking brake/clutch, and disconnect the black brain under the left side of your bike under the gas tank." I already have the TORS eliminated carbs and all that.
My next problem to check is with the key switch. For some reason they removed it. The only unplugged wires I can find around that area is a Red and Black wired plug in. So what I did was try and cut them and wire the red and black wire together. That didn’t help. Is that correct? The only other thing I can find unplugged is the tail light. I looked in my manual but it’s the factory one for like 1988 or something and mine is a 03, so I don’t know if the stuff is the same. The plug in that is red and black is only a two connection plug but in my manual it says it’s supposed to be a four connection plug, I think at least.
I was also wondering what the gap should be between the magneto and the coil where the spark jumps. It seems as though the gap is a little excessive to me but I'm not sure.
I forgot something else. I have a hose that connects to a T junction. The look like breather hoses. They came unplugged from the bike and can't figure out where everything goes. One of the ends I have plugged into the one that comes out of the water pump housing. The other end goes up under the radiator and ends. The other connection I have no idea where it goes or comes from. I can't find anything that looks as though it would plug in. I know its no the radiator hose that comes from the top of the head because I found that. So thats not what I'm talking about. Does anyone have any ideas where these hoses go?
Thanks for the help in advance.
