bansheeboi Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Okay guys, I changed the carbs on my other banshee and crank it up. The bike idle good then it idle really high, so I shut the bike down and tried again. So she idle fine again tap the gas nice no problem there. Okay now I. I went round the corner first,second,third gear she died guys throw ideas for me to check. Also the setup on this bike is t5s cascade,uni pod stock carbs. I only change the carbs because those carbs was jetted for the t5s that came with my other bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayAiken Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Pull of the head. I think you had an air leak from putting carbs back on incorrectly and melted your pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahl87banshee Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Wait, so you put on different carbs because they were jetted for your T5's instead of just jetting the carbs you had on already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No piston melt down I crank the bike again before I pulled carbs off lastnight. But I did notice that it will idle nicely with the choke pulled out an push back in it idles a lil higher.

If you pull the choke out and it smooths it out ya need bigger pilot jets and probally a little bigger main jet too. Only other thing is see there the needle postion is and move the needle a clip higher to help it....if and only if you cant get any bigger pilot jets.

I've got is running better but its got a lil bog, also a lag before the powerband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
