SteveCZ28 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Im having a weird issue with the slides on my banshee...i have 2 sets of slides. one set is attached to the tors set up. and another set of slides are non tors and came with my bike when i got it. i also have 2 sets of carbs, the tors version and the non tors set. i got a tors idle kit for my tors carbs, as i have a problem with the left carb that is non tors, it was dumping so much fuel into the cylinder i was cracking reeds left and right in it. so i got another set of carbs (my tors set) and drilled and tapped them with the tors idle kit as i know these carbs worked with no issues. but heres my dilemma: when i put the slides and carb caps onto my carbs one side is open maybe 1/4 inch, and the other carb the slide bottoms out in the carb. so when looking into the carb from the airbox side, you see one slide open, and the other side shut. but when looking into the cylinder side of the carb, the carb that looked like it was open 1/4 inch is now shut, and the carb that looked bottomed out/shut is now open 1/4 inch... so i dont know what my deal is, or how to set it up. now i took a slide from my tors set up, and put it into my carb. now i can either have both carbs open from the airbox side the 1/4 inch like before, and then both shut on the cylinder side, or vise a versa. my question is, how do i want these carbs set up to run right? obviously i cant run it the way it is with one slide open on the airbox side closed on cylinder side one one carb, and cant run the other carb with the slide bottomed out on air box side, and open cylinder side examples: open on airbox side/ closed cylinder side closed airbox side/open cylinder side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 i cant tell for sure but it seems you have 2 of the same slides. they are supposed to be different. when you install one the ramped edge of the slide should be on the filter side of each carb. i dont see how this would cause a reed failure though??

SteveCZ28 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 i dont know what was up with the non tors carbs that came with the bike. the right cylinder would run, and the left would just fill with gas and would crack the reeds only in the left cylinder. then i bought these tors carbs and ran them (before my bike blew up) and it would run on both cylinders just fine...but yes the slides that are on the bike, are both the same. but me using a slide from my tors set up, now gives me 2 different slides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveCZ28 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 this is the way it was on my bike with these 2 slides together....i noticed they are the same so i want them this way? and i want the ramped section facing the filter side?? so the slide would look opened from filter side and closed from cylinder side???

Jereme6655 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 you happen to have the carb slides in backwards? YES they will fit in backwards.....you want the cut out arch (ramp side) on the slide facing the air filters. and also looking at your pictures i notice that either your picture has an optical illusion or your top picture of your slides that are side by side.....looks like the top slide has one hell of a bent needle.

SteveCZ28 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 no the slides arent in backwards. yes they do fit backwards for maybe half an inch. because of the cutout in the slide alligns itself with the little peg in the side of the carb. so yes they have to be put in correctly inorder to completly be installed and to bottom out. yes the needle is bent in one of the slides, because i accidently stepped on it. which is no biggie as i have a few spare needles still from a rebuild kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
