kswayze Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 So, I am in the middle of a top-end rebuild and was cleaning my carbs today. I have owned this banshee since new when my dad bought it for me from Alba. I have FMF fatty pipes, pro-design intake/K&N filter with outerwear, no airbox lid. Right now my mains are 300, 32.5 pilot, and needle on the 4th clip. I Ride on the Oregon coast so elevation from sea level to 250ish. I ride when it is around 50-80 degrees F. Let me know what you think. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydownunder Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 32.5 pilot is HOOOOOOOOOOOOGE, are you sure its a 32.5 ?, for a 300 main a stock pilot (25) should be plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. I triple checked it to make sure I was not reading it right. Maybe when I wake up today I will bring it into the house with better light to make sure. Other then that, does the rest look good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydownunder Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 yeh 300 sounds about right, do a plug chop to see how its burning and go from there. you will have to play with the needle position to get it perfect if it isnt already.

kswayze Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 This set-up is how it came from Alba and has ran perfect for the last 8 years. I think I will buy some new jets and start doing some tuning the next time I go riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will buy some new jets and start doing some tuning the next time I go riding. if thats the case, and it was riding fine. Leave it as is and do a plug chop just to see. If its gone this long it will do it again . if it was idling good , had good throttle response and had good topend you would have to think its pretty close if not perfect.

kswayze Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Once I get it put back together and broke-in, I will do a plug chop and see. I know I do have to adjsut the idle. The last time I went on a ride, I noticed that it would not idle very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydownunder Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 how many turns out from seated are the air screws ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kswayze Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 It looks like about 2 and 1/4 turns out. So, I am looking at my Clymers manual right now and then at my carbs and cannot find the Needle jet anywhere. Where is it and why cant I find it? Did I lose it while taking the carbs out?
