Strm Trpr Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 At 2000' and 70*-90* you should be running 25 pilots, needles on middle clip and 270-280 mains. Every 2000' you should drop 1 size on the main. So for 6000' you should run 250-260 mains. Your torn intake manifolds were giving you an air leak and causing you to have to jet fatter than necessary. I have T5's and pods but the rest is stock and at sea level with 70* temps I run 27.5 pilots, needle middle clip and 290 mains. I ran 10 gallons of 91 mixed 40:1 and my plugs looked chocolate brown and dry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strm Trpr Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 The new intakes should clear that up for you. Do you still have the TORS on the stock carbs? Syncing the carbs helps a ton with how crisp the motor runs too. Also an adjustable timing plate set to +4* will give you the edge over your buddy.

Ge that throttle cable sorted out. Without syncing the carbs your banshee will run sub-par... guaranteed. I have a brand new timing plate for sale. http://www.farmandsandtoys.com/partdetail.asp?partid=75 Just like the one above. $45 shipped and it's yours.
