YoCoLifSavr Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I just rejetted my banshee and put aftermarket pipes and silencers on it as well (FMF Fattys with Power Core 2 Silencers) Main jets are 290 and pilots are at 30. It started right up however it is putting out quite a bit of smoke. It wont idle and just shuts down when you let off the throttle. I did ride it around the yard and it just had no power at all. Even when I kicked it once it made a real loud pop. So what do you all think is wrong? Im new to the banshee world and trying to learn but this has me baffled. First off I know I am supposed to turn the air screw out 1 and a half turns. I believe I have done this. Is this the screw located on the TORS boxes on top of the carbs? Or are they located directly on the side of the carbs? What are the big screws on the TORS boxes? If you need any other info to help diagnose please let me know and I will post what I can......thanks!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Go back to a 25 pilot and try again. You don't need a 30 at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoCoLifSavr Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 **Update** The bike has plenty of power on top end. ALOT of power. No sputtering on 1/2 throttle+. When starting out it idles rough and wont idle at all, you have to keep on the throttle to maintain idle. Also in low throttle you can hear popping from muffler. It is like single pops not puttering.

bansheesandrider Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 My wife's first Banshee had Fattys and Cascade silencers with a Toomey 2 into 1 K&N style filter. I had 290 mains, 27.5 pilot needle clip in the middle position and the air screw, which is on the side of the carb, was at about 1,75 turns. This made it start easy, it was the wife's bike and she did not complain, and run great with good power all the way across the range.

The air screw is the screw located on the side of the carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoCoLifSavr Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 So the needle clip in the middle position? Is that where it is located for stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
