banshee#44 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 yea your floats are stuck, if they thrashed your bike you might want to clean out you gas tank, i got my quad and it was a repo and the last people who had put dirt in the tank and it ripped the filter on my petcock letting dirt into carbs making overflow gas everywere.

Drewski Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 try tapping on the float bowls first before taking it all apart. it happened to me once so i tapped it with the handle from a screwdriver a few times and it stopped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxMeltIcexX Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 put in line filter on good to go I would not recommend an in line fuel filter on banshees, they restrict a lot of flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway USA Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 ok so i ripped apart both carbs today cleaned them and put them back together put them back in and no luck the gas is still flowing freely out of the over flow lines....wtf? im stumped i know it has to be something real stupid just can not figure it out.....help Mine was that way when I got it. The local Yamaha shop ordered me some aftermarket carb kits for around $12 each. Put new inlet needle and seats in and problem solved. The Viton tips on the needle get worn over time and nothing can be done except replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be because the tip of the needle is worn or you have shit in the tank that is getting stuck between the two. Clean fuel, clean tank = clean fuel delivery to the carbs. If the float isn't adjusted right the needle never closes against the sea and the bowls will overfill and run out the overflow. If the needle doesn't seat properly the same thing happens. The stock petcock has a screen to prevent shit in the fuel lines and other then that I wouldn't add any find of in line filter as stated before. The jets only need to be change if your jetting is off. Check this out in the jetting forum. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway USA Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I would not recommend an in line fuel filter on banshees, they restrict a lot of flow. I won't run without an inline filter. When I first tore into my Banshee, I heard something rattling around in the tank. It was the so-called filter screen that is supposed to be in the petcock. It had fallen out and was letting unfiltered fuel in to the carbs. What is worse, a little restriction ( which shouldn't amount to much if you change the filter regularly) in flow, or running crap through the carbs and engine?

What is worse, a little restriction ( which shouldn't amount to much if you change the filter regularly) in flow, or running crap through the carbs and engine? I run a pingle valve as well as a vast majority of guys and gals on here. They have no screen at all. If I ran a stock petcock I would remove the screen to prevent restriction from it and remove the tubes making the reserve as well. The reason for this is simple, a good port job will flow a lot more fuel and as we build our shit bigger the fuel demands go up. Some guys even have to run bigger bowls on the carbs to keep enough fuel on hand for delivery during a 300ft pass. And yes, a little restriction is worse the running crap through the carbs. Your fuel carries your engine lubrication. How long does it take to run without lube to damage your engine? SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
