Tallen32 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 So I pulled my carbs to clean them and see what jets are in them as I just bought it. I'm going to higer elevation and the banshee was running rich so I went down 1 clip to 2nd. Now the right cylinder is backfiring and only the left engine gets hot. What could it be all of a sudden was running good before this but a little rich. Choke tube is connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelps Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 put the slides in backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallen32 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 No the slides are right and both line up in the carb window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Maybe the clip came off the needle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendro Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Sounds like you arent getting fuel in the bowl on the right side carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 +1 what he said. No fuel , any smoke on right side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallen32 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Some smoke on right side at start up. It is getting fuel. I can get it to idle for a few min before it dies. I can gas it at the beginning but then it will want to bog and die. I switched spark plug caps and the right side is still not running right. I'm pretty pissed as it was running good but really rich before. Feels like very little power from right cylinder like left is doing all the work.

Tallen32 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Also I started it up this morning and once it starts both cylinders seem to hit and smoke even then after a few seconds the right goes back down with little smokey.

LaegerEliminator Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Aren't the float bowls specific to the left and right carbs because of the choke and choke tube setup on stock carbs? Did you put the correct bowl back onto the correct carb? I reversed mine years ago and it wouldn't run right at all...

Tallen32 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Floats are correct. I did the carb separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shottachris Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Did u sync the carbs one can be opening before the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallen32 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ive been trying to sync the carbs. I was able to get it to idle fine and the engine seems to even out after about half throttle. Today it started up first kick with no choke. I ordered some new pilot jets 27s and 30s. Also ordered a carb sync tool. Cant seem to get the two synced as it seems the left cylinder pushes out more smoke. Now if i turn on the choke they seem to even out as the smoke out of exhaust comes out more even. Past half throttle is rides like a banhsee should. I messed with the idle screws on top of tors which eliminated the backfire so far and the quad will stay idling forever. Seems the left slide opens earlier than the right. Any tips for carb syncing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
