Gurnzz Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 as long as ive owned my banshee i can never seem to get it to idle at all, always seems to stall out. tors have been removed,it has an idle kit,340 mains, 27.5 pilots, air/fuel at 1.75 turns out. not sure what look for for. could it be a prob with the carbs possibly, ie. dirty ? would a carb synchronizer help with this or no? any help on this topic would be appreciated! thanks Gurnzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebanshee Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Make sure you sync them, i have never used a tool, i leave the air filters off and do it by eye, this works for me but a tool would be more exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 i know you said that you removed the tors, but did you remove the brain box? it's a little black box to the left of the coil with 3 wire plug. unplug it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 so, will it idle and die off after a bit, or does it die instantly with no throttle? have you checked your pickup gap setting? what does the plug look like when it stalls?

bansheesandrider Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Have you tried increasing your idle speed by turning the screws in further? When the TORS eliminator kit was installed did you grind enough off of the side if the carb where it was drilled and tapped for the screws? Once you have the angle flattened out you usually need to take another1/8 of an inch off of it. The screws have to go into the angled slot in the slide to adjust idle speed by moving the slide up. I would clean your carbs, making sure you have the correct float bowls on the correct carb, the left is different from the right. Make sure your idle screws go in far enough to properly adjust the idle speed. Put the carbs together, screw in the idle screws till they just touch the ramp on the slides and then turn them 1/2 turn more. Start the bike, and adjust the idle screws EQUALLY until you achieve the desired idle speed and then tighten the locknuts. Turn the bike off and with the air filter removed, stick one finger inthe back of each carb so you can feel the slides. Open the throttle and see if the slides move at the same time. You will need to lengthen the screw on the top of the carb that is opening slow until they are opening at the same time. When the slides slam closed, you should only hear one click, not two. Make sure the cable has a little free play and you are set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
