Irishchris Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I just picked up my first Banshee and right now it has a 35mm single carb kit on it. The problem I'm having is its running too rich, smoking too much and dripping oil out of the pipes. I talked to carb parts warhouse and he got me a different pilot jet but didnt seem to do much. The mods include pro circuit pipes, v force reeds, an aftermarket head, the previous owner told me it was bored .30. I'm thinking of getting another 35mm carb and running dual carbs. The original owner gave me the stock carbs, intake and throttle setup. Can I run 35mm carbs with the stock intakes? And should I run the boost bottle with them? Does anyone have a picture of this setup, do you still use the stock airbox or two serperate air filters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotta_goatsfast Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Two 35mm carbs are way to much for what you have. You might want to look into 28mm PWKs or just jet the carburetor you have now. If it is rich, then lean out the main jet some. Also, do yourself a favor and get rid of that boost bottle.

sheerider1026 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 more than likely you have the wrong needle in it.. single carb setups are very sensitive to what needle is used.. i love my single.. best needle i found is a EEK needle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishchris Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 more than likely you have the wrong needle in it.. single carb setups are very sensitive to what needle is used.. i love my single.. best needle i found is a EEK needle I have no bottom end power and when its at idle it will drip oil out of the pipes, it seems like at the top of 2nd and 3rd its the strongest. It will foul the plugs in 15 minutes just ideling. I think the pilot jet is a 48 and the main is 142. I dont know the needle type but i will pull it out. Should I change the main, pilot and needle?

sheerider1026 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 the pilot seems too big and the main a lil small.. try a eek needle.. 45 pilot.. air screw 1.5 turns out.. and a 155 main.. good starting point.. also check your float level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishchris Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks i will try that out, how do you get the needle off of the cap? Got the needle out its a DEK, does going to EEK lean it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 the dek and eek are very similar.. the dek will work.. i would try a 40 or 45 pilot in it.. needle on middle clip.. report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishchris Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 the dek and eek are very similar.. the dek will work.. i would try a 40 or 45 pilot in it.. needle on middle clip.. report back i put a new float and needle in it with the new jets, i started with a 42 pilot. i think the needle is on the middle clip but i will pull it apart and double check. Thanks for all the info and I will let you know what i find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishchris Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 yeah the needle is the mid clip and the pilot is a 40 not a 50, the main is 142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 yeah the needle is the mid clip and the pilot is a 40 not a 50, the main is 142 What elevation are you at? What air filter setup are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishchris Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 What elevation are you at? What air filter setup are you running? Im in clevelan ohio and i have a K and N inside the stock box but the box is open, how does the clip position effect the richness? Is it the further up the richer it is?

Irishchris Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 650 ft elevation for cleveland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 650 ft elevation for cleveland further up towards the top makes it leaner. get an eek or an eej, put a 42 pilot in it, start out in the middle on the clip, and put a 190-195 main jet in it for god sakes. I think right now your trying to run a smaller main in it than it would run with twin carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
