Usually related to TORS, specifically the safety switch in the clutch/park brake assembly. If it's defective the engine won't rev. Solution: look for a TORS removal kit.

Remove the slide in the throat of the carb, move the clip on the jet needle one notch lower. Two notches may be needed but start with one.

Look fore your compresion frome the two cilinders. if its good look for the exhaust lots of carbon in the tail pipe. so not its a posibel that your oll seal its broken and the fuel gas leaks between the two chambers greeds j kerkhof

I start my Yamaha Banshee 350 ATV, it starts fine and idles fine but when I start riding it and gets a bit over half throttle it starts backfiring really bad. Any suggestions on what to look for? TIA

Question edited for FULL 'make model (what it is)', from 'banshee'.
Question moved from Motorcycles to correct Category.

Check spark plugs.
Clean Carb.
Check timing.

More here, it is a known issue.

I own a 1990 3cv it increases revs from idle to around 3000 once it has warmed up if I stop the motor for a bit then start it again the revs will do the same I have cleaned out the carbs and replaced

You mean the revs come up even if the throttle is left in idle?
If yes: it means your idle runs too lean AND the carbs aren't balanced ( one gives more air than another )
Unscrew all the idle mix screws 1/2 turn
To balance, remove 1 spark plug lead, check the rev falling.
Replace the lead and remove another one. Check the rev fall etc...
Regulate the carb opening so that all the cilinder disconnects give the same rev-drop.

Yamaha banshee. Just rebuilt top end and has been bored 80 over. Starts but is bogging down in low rpms. It seems to run ok in high rpms. I cleaned the carbs and replaced the reeds.

Check the plug color to see if it is normal. I would put new spark plug caps and new spark plugs on the machine and see if that helps . From what you describe , if the spark plug caps do not work , you will probably have to either , adjust your air screw setting or change your pilot jets up one size to compensate for the other changes.

Yamaha banshee will not start

Did you accidentally cross the spark plug wires?
Other wise its going to be hard to diagnose,
Do you have plenty of compression,
Are you getting gas to the spark plugs?
Is the air filter clean/new?
You will need a factory service manual to diagnose further if all the above is ok

I have a 1986 yamaha virago 700 that wont run properly

2 things need to be done first start your bike get a can of wd40 after your bike is warm and running spray around the carb jointsall 4 of them if your engine changes rpms up or down you have a intake leak ether your carb joint gaskets or o-rings need replacing or your carb joints are old and need replacing. at this point wont hurt to have you carbs cleaned also

Yamaha banshee will idle beautiful.but when u give it gas fast or slow it bogs down...i cleaned the carbs and ive tuned the **** out this thing.in a turn out half turn in 3/4 turn all night and cant get it...

This is an easy one - there is a mouse nest in your airbox or in the muffler. To find out disconnect the exhaust at the cylinders and start and rev the engine - if it is OK its in the muffler. If it still bogs take the airbox and filter apart and clean them out.

Banshee running wide open after a couple of revs

The problem with vents is that a vent can get plugged and lessen or completely kill the flow of fuel. They will not make an engine rev wildly. Your banshee has standard carbs. The throttle cables may be routed incorrectly, pinching or stretching the cables. Remove the air filters. Look inside the carbs. Do the slides move freely up and down when the throttle is twisted? In the diagram below note the junction tube on the throttle cabel. The cable can stick at inside the tube. Is the connector hose between the carbs in place? Also, there is a switch on top of the carb. This can go haywire also. Odd that the problem was not present before they cleaned the carbs.
Can I get a “very helpful” rating on this answer?

2002 YAMAHA BANSHEE WILL NOT REV

When was the last time new crank bearings and seals were installed? With all the work you have done on the carb I think the problem is the crank seals. But, check the bearings. At rest, the flywheel must be rock solid > no movement up or down, left or right.

If the bearings are solid then only replace the seals. Chances are the engine can stay in the frame if only the seals are being replaced. Best part is that seals are a low cost item.

One other possibility is a partially blocked exhaust system. Check the exhaust first. Checking the exhaust doesn't cost anything. Disconnect the exhaust pipes from the motor. Excite the neighbors by a quick ride down the street with no muffler. If the problem is instantly fixed then get a new exhaust.

Please rate this solution as " FixYa " if able. Thanks!
