Keyser Soze Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Picked them up a week ago for $60 bucks. Figured they would need a rebuild but they are in good shape. The guy I bought them from only told me they were on a piped banshee. Stock piolet 320 mains, 1 clip up. I tried them on my banshee today with that jetting and im very impressed with the carbs. Bike seems to rev faster, but it does not want to stay in the power band like it used to. A lot of shifting, doesnt backfire or cut out or anything just like the the powerband shrank. Could this be a jetting issue? I figured I would have more top end? My relavent mods are as follows Trail ported K and N pods +4 timing FMF fattys Is 320 a good starting point? I couldnt tell if it was lean or rich...plugs were black but 320 seems small for my mods....thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 IMO, the mains are a little small. try 340's. also, try contacting Snope on here, as he has ran those carbs, and has the setup needed. you might have the wrong needles, as i know he changes those.

Keyser Soze Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Wow 370....320 seems really small. With my porting...fmf fattys...and pods...maybe 350 is a good starting point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Soze Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Awesome..ill go from there....you know of a good place to get jets cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 In your part of the country, i'd call Jeff at FAST for jets, he stocks them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaxy Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 The 28MM TM flatslides are great carbs. You should have excellent low end and great pull through the RPM range. I run pretty close the same set up you are running except for I use the airbox. On my: Shee I run 20 pilots and 300 mains with FMF's RZshee I run 20 pilots, a different needle jet, and 340 mains with Rockets. Maintain your jetting checks and see what works best.

fastrthnu Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 wow 380-390 is pretty damn big. thats what I was going to use with a 30mm and pods. and 30 pilot seems big too. Id run a 27.5 where Im at, but thats my opinion. I get my jets for jet r us or local shop for ike 2-2.50 ea or somethin like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildcardracing Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 380-390 mains??? I was running 340 mains at sea level on an aggresive dune port with CPI's, so 380's on a trail port with Pro-Circuits is HUGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Dont know what to tell ya. We have 3 bikes running those carbs, all are jetted about the same, and all have been ran on the dyno too. They are setup where they make the most hp, and then fine tuned for the best pull out on the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
