replaced them with OEM parts but I am thinking the O-rings failed.

Got a pair of stockish assuming they have or had not been jetted. But I have rebuilt put a lot of money into these trying to get them to stop running out the overflows adjusted floats, cleaned and re-cleaned, new floats adjusted floats again bought rebuild kit after kit and still they dump fluid like crazy. Bashing my head into my walls trying to find what ever is doing this. Not to mention it seems to be running real rich on the left side. Smoking 24/7 even after warm up and running around for a bit. Now I know 2 strokes have their smoke but Seen banshees run around with no smoke unless hammering the throttler. Mine feels like i am a crop duster or insect fogging machine. Any advice before i load it up and Bother Cam up at Redline?
-
Love Redline when I was about to miss out on a trip because I couldn't get parts locally, I was directed up to Redline and well don't like working with any other shop more then friendly and helpful. And got the parts i needed had them on the counter when i got there too. Hated asking for advice the other day now knowing how busy he is up there. I am would go the extra time to see Cam then go a 5 minute drive to be robbed or just treated like crap to no get any parts and end up ordering them at double or triple prices.
-
Got ahole of Cam, very busy on orders. Also again thanks you all for the input!
-
i know i could call 3 rings and he answers thanks for all the input.
-
Thanks I will give him a ring!
-
Yeah its weird, really like working though him traveled all over the state looking for piston rings for a couple banshees I rebuilt and he had them. Even kept the shop open for a few hours for me to get some stuff once.
-
Haha to this day I wish we had it on Cam when the tire fell off and rolled on. But I got the videos to the wrecks haha. the second one trying to find the first one right now.
-
Anyone know whats going on? I have been trying to get a hold of them for months and no answer left a message a month ago and no reply and being there a few times for parts went up there to the shop and its dark no one is around. Any new would be great if I am am going to need to look for a new preferred shop

Well one trip i was taking with my friends two years ago we loaded up at my place. Packed up and ready double checked and triple checked stuff and pulled out of the drive way ready for the Oregon Dunes. Got to the stop sign at the end of the road a 1/4 mile down the road. And this tires just passes us down the way, Jaws dropped with "No it cant be we all looked on as it jumped the ditch and rolled on into a Grass field. Getting out and looking In fact it was our trailers left side tire that passed us at the stop sign. My self taking it as a sigh for the dirt gods don't take this trip.we got the Tire and got it back to my drive way I unloaded and put my bike back into the shop and assisted my friends to put theirs in the back of their truck leaving the trailer in the driveway, out of the way I went to doing my stuff to get ready with doing some modding of my Raptor at the time. Well they didn't take the sign not one bit by hell or high water they were gonna hit the sand. Well after their long dive they got there and hit the sand haulin. By a few hours later of riding one of my friends haulin on the flats on his YFZ he didn't see the bowel that was was a 8 foot drop off with hard packed wet sand in the bottom ending up fracturing something in his lower leg being a trooper he lay down in the truck and let his brother ride. Well soon after that his brother went out and was invited to a group of VERY experienced riders with all the gear head to toe. Well him being 'I CAN DO IT TOO' mind set he did well but ended up rolling the bike over him and tearing up his knee. Being amazing people they all came over to help him out even road his Banshee back to the staging area and loaded up their stuff and helped them to the hospital. Funny thing about it was they brought a brand new GoPro Hero 2 with them on its virgin ride and got both of them on video. So thats my Ride of shame, Moral of the story When you trailer tire passes you just out of the driveway GO HOME!

Damn Sick Banshee, I want to do that set up with my Motor.

Well way back in 1966 the dunes were open and clear hell when my Family back then cruised the dunes in old willies jeeps Horsefall whiskey run Winchester bay hell the beaches at Newport. You could drive almost every where Have pictures of the dunes and going there today you cant even get close to the area to compare the pictures or its all paved over and some shopping center or private condos. Also its now a forest filled the area with a lot of invasive plants that kill off native ones to the area. I signed this, the dunes is my families hobby and place we work hard to have our short vacations there. I am a firm believer in give and take, the the tree hugging smug save the environment from its self idiots want to limit my hobby area. Then they too should have places taken back and barred for use, now the last argument i had with one of those Smug idiots, they say hiking and back packing in the woods dose no damage. been on a lot of back packing trails to find garbage every where 'unauthorized' trails every where cutting the undergrowth and what not. One time while doing PT with the Marines we were at a park these smug hippies (yes the called them selves that after giving use crap for being military) all bragging about their Prius and all the work they do to save the environment. Watched them toss their garbage into the bushes we picked up after them, talk about hypocritical idiots.

hmmm interesting they were all over us after the Db test looking for a reason to give us tickets. I had a small little is known muffler Lexx and searched the thing short of tearing it apart. Stamped into It is USFS approved apparently never saw it. Also were supposed to have to the Shovel and Gallon of water is the off road operators licence with each their own class of off road equipment. Never been asked if I have one which I Do, Now on the shovel and water was told by Forest service (go figure) NO EXCEPTIONS! Well our dirt bike friends are trying to figure out how to care both items. Asked the the deputy at the staging area doing a helmet check on some kids and giving out stickers. He laughed and told us its not a have to unless its off the dunes on trails only parks.

It was Forest Service Rangers that were the issue the Sheriffs down at Florence and Coos Bay areas are usually great to work with if your not someone that inspects their sphincters on a hourly bases. Another place here in Oregon on the other hand Sand Lake its the other way around. Forest service are nice and the sheriff deputies are super cops specifically one bigger guy that incorrectly dose Db tests stated by the law on which they are to be done.

I have noticed this about the sheriffs vs Forest Service Law enforcement. On the last trip I took with my old raptor 660, My 2 Stroke friends spent damn big chunk of change to keep the after market pipes. Well On this trip it was after one of the heavy weekend holidays, we all were nailing the trails at Florence having a great time not being unsafe being smart about everything. Coming out of a trail Forest service is blocking the trail we stop shut down and get off. The three of them proceed to be rude and throw claims around that they were trying to stop us for some time Because they heard us way back in the staging area. We offered to do the Db test. Skipped every one on a 4 stroke and went right for the guys on 2 strokes, and they passed Just barely really. But they Nailed one of us for not having spark arresters then told us Spark Arrester we were told "YOU HAVE TO HAVE ONE NO EXCEPTIONS" by Forest Service. The whole camping trip out of the dunes we saw nothing but the Forest service hounding the trails like speeding traps and nailing any one that sounded like it was over the limit. Acting very unprofessional in my opinion I understand enforcing the law but making it go to your head or just being super cop is old. Thats my Two cents and thanks for getting that info out there Freakshow!
