Any idea why the previous owner had 370 mains in it? Is that hinting to some other mod that’s done to it. Perhaps maybe being bored out. I’m really just guessing

Silly question . Can I test compression w carbs off?

So I pulled the carbs and began deconstruction. They are in rough shape . Filthy, rusty , White deposits . Hope I can save them . One is chipped on intake I believe. As far as the jetting is concerned .. both mains look like 370. One pilot reads 25 . Other is newer but I can’t read it . Hole does look smaller on it maybe. I need to soak these carbs for a day or two .. any ideas in what to soak them in?

Don’t know if it’s ever been rebuilt. I’ll take carbs apart and see what jetting looks like . Then I’ll post results of that .. thanks

Yes can not get past a certain point

It will idle and revs up somewhat . Just gets to a point where it doesn’t scream or make any power. You can only ride it very slow and will not get into power band. I can shift through all gears but has no power. You guys think my next step is to clean and jet carb? Or does it seem like something else?

Hey man , thanks for quick reply. As far as I know it’s stock w the t5 exhaust. Who really knows for sure though.. I guess what I’m looking for right now is carb setting baseline where I can get this thing running pretty good for now. Figure 25 to 35 degree temps. So what would you recommend for that?

Hey guys , new to this forum. Hope I’m doing this right. After yrs of wanting a banshee . Finally picked up a 1998 w T5 exhaust . I took a shot w this one because it was Cleaner than others .Previous owner tells me carbs neeed to be cleaned . Bike starts and idles. Only will rev up a bit . Will not go into power band. He said it sat for 6 months. . First thing I did was drain fuel w new ethanol free premium pump. Then checked plugs and air box . All looks good. I’m about to tackle the carbs next . Can you guys guide me into what Jets and settings I can run .. for winter time in Ny elevation is 385 ft . Has t5 exhaust on what I believe is original motor. Tors delete on carbs already. Help is greatly appreciated... thanks . Owner also told me he did exhaust and did not change jetting.
