bluebanshee98 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 i just ordered a new asv f3 clutch lever/perch . i disconnected the parking brake electrode connector, took the cable off and also order a block off plate for the rear capiler. i should be all set with that correct? parking brake was always useless to me. i have another question about the tors system. i heard that they were prone to fail at times. so i disconnected the black box under the left side of the gas tank and also the connectors to the wires for both carbs. is there anything else i have to do? is there a switch in the throttle housing ( black box on handle bars) im still going to keep the big carb top heads on for now. i did some searching and found some info. i would like some more feedback. thanks in advanced!

Jereme6655 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 you disabled the TORS. it will work the way you have it currently. but the carb top kit makes it SO much easier to wrench on your bike in that area. there is a switch in your thumb throttle housing.....however its totally fine....unless your going to remove the wiring you dont' have to disconnect that.

bluebanshee98 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 The choke cross over tube is in and the correct carb bowl is on the correct carbs. It seems that ever since I put the jets in it has been hard to Cold start. Once it starts ,one kick and it fires up. I'm thinking it might be a air leak at the top of the carbs because the tors tops can move left and right. I could be wrong though. I need to buy a compression tester and see what I get . I'm about 1000 above sea level with a stock motor so I'm guessing 120psi should be a good number ? I read that 90 or lower and def need a top end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 sounds like you got two things working against you here.....1) the 280 mains.....as the air gets colder outside it gets denser...more air per cubic volume than when its hot. I think its around every 25 degree drop you need to richen your main by one size. 2) Your still running a stock 25 pilot jet. FMF fatties and most aftermarket pipes really like 27.5 pilots. i bet it will start much easier. HOWEVER.....cold weather and easy engine starting dont really go together......all engines will be a little harder to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Pilots and compression tester are on their way. Should be a week. Gonna see if it starts with the snorkel on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Just a update. I got the pilots and the compression guage. The left cylinder was 125, throttle side was 130psi, so the top end is ok. Not sure if it was the disasembly of the tors that did the trick but it fires up now no problem. Will changing the pilots make much of a difference or should I leave the stock pilots in for now? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 When i got my banshee it had stock pilots and FMF pipes on it....it had a "bog" at low speed.....reality was i had to pump the fuck out of the throttle to get it to get past the bog and get enough fuel into it to get it up on the pipe where it was running mostly on the main jets. I figured out what the problem was......threw in a set of 27.5's and proceded to almost flip the damn bike.....it came to life instantly when i stabbed the throttle......wheels came up and i almost shit. COMPLETELY different bike when i richened up the pilots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COMPLETELY different bike when i richened up the pilots. well i think ill be putting the pilot jets in now lol. i am always seeming to want more power out of the quad.... ( blame it on having a r1 i guess haha) i already got pipes, jets, air filter, lid removed... whats a good way to get more power but still run on 93 pump gas. 4 mill?

Jereme6655 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 best bang for the buck is to call one of our site sponsors (ive dealt solely with jeff and he is an awsome guy that knows what to do with a banshee) and talk to them about porting. You send cylinders and money and they send you back your cylinders that have been ported to flow more air and more exhaust. bolt it back on and tune it again and boom.....alot more power...
