a.diercks Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I have a completely stock banshee with the mikuni carbs-tors removed- and I have a set of fmf gold series pipes on it. Can anyone tell me what size jets I should be using and what position my needle should be at for elevation of around 1200 ft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.diercks Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 stock air filter and cover on. Right now it has 280's but its idling like shit and fouling plugs. Took plugs out and were soaked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.diercks Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Tried putting in 250 with needle in first position and still running rich. Time to keep guessing and tearing into carbs. Damn the fine tuning bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06BCBANSHEE Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 throw 27.5 pilot in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srx8525 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 go on fmf site it says 260 main 30 pilot clip in 3rd position air screw 1.5 turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yank the air box cover off it and get a plate and a filter to put in it. Or screw the stock one to the box so it won't fall out. Then jet it up. Could prob almost get to the 300 main range and pull a bunch more air to go with those pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Then read one of the thousand threads on here that tells how to jet carbs and what to look for when its lean or rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
