blaster2006 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 well, i just re-ringed my banshee, and put the top end back together, but i lost my crossover tube in the process, so for now to just test if it fires up a friend of mine and i put our thumbs to cover the whole from the intake and fired it... but we need something else to make it rideable. So is it fine if we just completely block it with something? or there must be some kind of " crossover tube" so that the intakes are connected or whatever the crossover tube is supposed to do.

SAVAGE420 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Just go to your local auto parts store and get a couple inches of black fuel line in the similar size for like $2 and clamp it in and what not. Good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISSUES Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Yea you can block it off with like a steel plug and clamp on, Just make sure your carbs are synced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03bansheeman126 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 just get the fuel line you arent going to pick up any power from a boost bootle. its just a gimmic that some jack ass made up to make a buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaster2006 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 just block them off and make sure your carbs are synced and youll be fine. so let me get this right, the crossover mainly helps if my carbs arent synced ( which they arent) no wonder it was sounding REALLY really lean, when we put our thumbs to block it temporaily. so i guess because its not synced. when we revved it abit with our thumbs on it... it was really throaty sound and you could hear the huge amount of air, as if it were really lean.. that bogging noise every time we tried to rev it a tiny bit... so i guess ill need the crossover.

The sync tool is a standard tool for type 2 & 3 Volkwagens (Buses, Wagons, Karmagia). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragbanshee Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 No matter what, you still need to get the carbs in sync, tube or not! Eyeball it the best you can and listen to the slides bottoming out. Should hear 1 clank, not 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee35005 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 i have never sync my carbs with a tool just always eyeballed them and they where fine / yeah u can just block off the crossover tube and it probably sounded lean because of all the air leaking past your fingers lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
