Banshee backfiring after rejett


Recommended Posts

So I pulled my carbs to clean them and see what jets are in them as I just bought it. I'm going to higer elevation and the banshee was running rich so I went down 1 clip to 2nd. Now the right cylinder is backfiring and only the left engine gets hot. What could it be all of a sudden was running good before this but a little rich. Choke tube is connected.

Some smoke on right side at start up. It is getting fuel. I can get it to idle for a few min before it dies. I can gas it at the beginning but then it will want to bog and die. I switched spark plug caps and the right side is still not running right. I'm pretty pissed as it was running good but really rich before. Feels like very little power from right cylinder like left is doing all the work.

Aren't the float bowls specific to the left and right carbs because of the choke and choke tube setup on stock carbs?

 

Did you put the correct bowl back onto the correct carb?

 

I reversed mine years ago and it wouldn't run right at all...

Ive been trying to sync the carbs.  I was able to get it to idle fine and the engine seems to even out after about half throttle.  Today it started up first kick with no choke.  I ordered some new pilot jets 27s and 30s.  Also ordered a carb sync tool. Cant seem to get the two synced as it seems the left cylinder pushes out more smoke.  Now if i turn on the choke they seem to even out as the smoke out of exhaust comes out more even.  Past half throttle is rides like a banhsee should.  I messed with the idle screws on top of tors which eliminated the backfire so far and the quad will stay idling forever.  Seems the left slide opens earlier than the right.  Any tips for carb syncing?
