    Different question

    I just bought another toy a real one of a kind. I have a Banshee that is fuel injected and runs on E85 with a complete custom frame it is crazy. The problem I am having is getting it running once it is warm. The previous owner says it will never start real easy due to crankcase temps (evaporation)I find though even when I prime it or hold it wide open it is still very tempormental. It is a two stroke with a built motor, 40mm throttle bodies and 60lb injectors. I don't know that two many others are running this setup on a banshee. If I start it and just ride it is flat scary fast. It starts when it is cold usually with in about 5-6 kicks, warmed up sometimes I just can't get it to fire. Any ideas?

    its prolly dumping too much fuel when its warm and its flooding...does it have a coolant temp sensor or anything to compensate for when it gets warm?

    It may run differently depending on where you get the E85 from. Is it rich, or lean?

    Here is a pic. It does have a coolant temp sensor and it is working. I have to get a test kit for the E85 but right now it is tuned for a summer blend it hit 83Hp and 59 ftlbs on a dyno. The plugs look perfect it runs hard and well as long as I don't shut it down. If I let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes it starts a little easier. May just have to not kill it unless I am at the top of a hill.
