08shee Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I have an 08 banshee that has toomey t5 pipes, 2 k&n filters with outerwears, and a dynojet stage 3 jet kit. I put in the 280 main jet and have the needle on the 4th groove. The air screw is 2 1/2 turns out. It runs perfect at idle but sputters a bit in mid range. At wide open throttle it works perfect. What would i need to set to get it to run good all the way through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddleboy Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 i'd try putting the needle back in the middle clip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08shee Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 i'd try putting the needle back in the middle clip A friend of mine that has been around 2-strokes for awhile drove it and said it felt like it was running lean. (slight hesitation, sputtering, and backfiring during mid range) I ended up putting a half washer on the needle so its now at 4 1/2. Well now I got more issues. At first the slide wouldn't go down on one side of the carb but I didn't realize it and tried starting it. I got that fixed and couldn't get it running so we push started it. It won't idle at all but WOT it works...sometimes. As soon as I let off it stalls. All I changed was the needle 1/2 a size richer. It's my first time actually playing with the carbs by myself so could I have put something back together wrong? p.s. I also changed the plugs but it ran good before I even took it apart. Help me please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08shee Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well I put the needle to 3 1/2 and now it won't start or run at all, even when I push start it. ANY IDEAS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08shee Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 do u have the slides in the right carbs? they can go in backwards and in the wrong carbs I did one carb at a time so the slides are in the right carbs. Would the slides go all the way down if they were backwards? Thanks for the help. Very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08shee Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 honestly i dont kno if they would i havent tried. but as long as you got the grove matched up it is good I ended up taking everything apart and putting it back together and it works now. I replaced my plugs at the same time so maybe I had a fouled plug. Do the "TORS" sensors ever stay on and cut out spark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASRBanshee Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Why would you put a washer on the needle? TORS sensors fuck up everything if they malfunction and prevent the bike from moving and is only for amateurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TORS sensors fuck up everything if they malfunction and prevent the bike from moving and is only for amateurs. My dynojet kit came with washers. They give you a wider range of tuning the needles. Instead of jumping a full notch on the needle you can go half a notch. NEXT MOD....TORS REMOVAL KIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) if i remember right, the dynojet needles are fat like the vitos needles. just put the clip in the middle position, with NO additional washers and try that. otherwise, just throw your stock needles in, with the clip in the middle position as well, as your modded shee doesn't require the different needles....IMO.
