I gather that after I read the article. I went directly to the dealer website and gathered up a list of things.

It runs better with the air mixture screw closer to closed so I need to go bigger on the pilots. I'm also missing my carb hose between the carbs. I ordered some dealer parts for the carbs and what not.

Good info, thank you.

Is there a proper procedure for when you first set up a new combination and don't know where you need to be with the carbs? I just set up stock duals with a fresh rebuild. I started with the air screw out 2 turns out with 25 pilots, 330 mains and clip on middle position. The idle has been acting weird. I've set the idle with the aid of the airflow meter. I'm pulling 4" at idle and its seems a bit to high but if I lower the set screw anymore it will rev down and die out. If I back out the air screw on either one it will die. It doesn't seem to change at all from 1/4 turn in to 2 1/2 turns out. Do you have to move them at the same time to get an accurate reading? I don't remember which way it is if you have to turn more then 3 turns out then you need a bigger pilot or is it the other way around?

After several tries with 370's & 360's and couple different clip positions I now have 330 main's. 25 pilots needle on middle clip. No backfire now like when I had a 320 main on the RH cylinder and 330 on the LH. Did a street run up to 3rd gear. The power band is much more smooth then the single carb. It still flutters at WOT. Its hard to tell if its rich or lean at WOT. I would have to guess a tad rich. I won't know untill I can do some WOT runs up to sixth and plug chop it. However I already like the way the dual's feel versus the single carb.

Round 3: I have 330 main's. 25 pilots needle on middle clip. No back fire now. Did a street run up to 3rd gear. The power band is much more smooth then the single carb. It still flutters at WOT. Its hard to tell if its rich or lean at WOT. I would have to guess a tad rich. I won't know untill I can do some WOT runs up to sixth and plug chop it. However I already like the way the dual's feel versus the single carb.

I have the duals on now and I have been trying to tune them in. 370 and 360 were way to rich. I went to a 330 and 320, it is better, still seems rich. I moved the needle clip up two spots and now the RH w/ the 320 is backfiring. Backfire = too lean?

I imagine its my porting job. One is pulling a bit more air then the other. If I can get it to run good with dual's and slightly offset jetting then great.

I found a set, disregard post

I have pair of 06 headlights for my 87. I'd like to wire in a couple of connectors that will plug into my stock 87 harness with the round plug style.

I will report back with results. I'm thinking that I might have to jet one a bit richer then the other to balance them out. I bought a rebuild kit, idle screws, tors eliminator cable several main jets and a flow meter. I'm going with pod air filters for now till I get it dialed in and then go to a cfm air box if I like the dual over the single.

Less things to loose in the dirt when you have an access bung.

I was wondering if there is such a thing available to replace your stock carb bowls. Its very handy to have the main jet plug access on the bottom of the bowl. Makes tuning much easier.

I'm going to try both dual and single carbs setups. The power band with the single hits really hard. Plus I have one cylinder buring richer then the other so I'm going to try dual carbs to see if I can balance that out a bit.

Yes it counts for something. Thing is, I do have the time for the shock turn around. I stated this in my PM. "Sent 16 March 2013 - 11:29 AM I'd like to get this going. I have a trip planned in May that it needs to be done by." What is your turn around time?

I misunderstood his post earlier in the thread and thought he was addressing everyone. I explained this to him but to no avail. I have had members on other boards just disappear for no reason so I didn't think I was over stepping my bounds. Please don't lecture me on patience. I've been building this bike since last year april and have been very patient for the good deals to come along. At this point I feel like we are all beating a dead dog. Matt has already decided not to help me. So whats the point now. I'm just going to send them to GT when I have funds built up on my paypal.

If he is going to loose his temper over this thread and turn down the work then I don't want someone with a grudge working on my parts.

He won't take it now because he's mad about what ppl said about him even though I wasn't rude or anything.

Well it looks like its going to GT. Matt doesn't even want it now. I never said anything rude about him but yet I'm still outed. Nice......

I've got several good deals from him. He sold me the rims for $140 shipped and they were in pretty nice shape.

Motor city?

Never heard of it, lol

Whats that?

I'm probably going to send it to GT as soon as my paypal balance builds up. I buy salvage atv's, part them out and sell on ebay. So that pays entirely for my banshee.

I called around to several snowmobile shops in my area. I found a deal $2 each on mikuni main jets so now I have a set of 320,330,350,360,370,380 and 390. They didn't have 340's. Now does mikuni make sizes in between the 10's?
