Gumball12 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I am now on third Banshee lol big family. This is my first experience with the pwk and I am having trouble getting it dialed in. I picked up (cheap) a set of ported cylinders and had them bored and honed (saving for cub) They seem to have very large intake ports and boost ports as well as a raised exhaust port. Looks like good clean work but I know nothing about porting nor will I pretend to. The bike idles great runs great but seems to be lacking at the top or from 1/2 to full. no hesitation or miss, pulls well but I expected more and comparing to the other two I have I should have more. I am thinking a lean condition. The plug look dry and grey. The currant setup is 158 mains 45 pilots needle in middle position. Mods are 21cc domes, pc pipes, pods, +4 timing, Vforce 4 squish is good, compression 150psi, leak down passed Not as loud as the other with FMF pipes either Any suggestions? Any idea on type of port? I am at sea level, 80, and it is humid My dumba$$ only took one picture of the port job and that is of the intake side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Dull grey sounds lean. I'd go up on the main till it starts to puke then back it down till it cleans out. See what the plugs look like then. Have you messed with the needles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball12 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I have not touched the needle. I am thinking about one click richer and 162 mains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I would go up with them little at a time till it starts to run crappy. I wouldn't jump too big or you'll be chasing your tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Both plugs read the same ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Sleep adding fuel till it gurgles over then back it down,don't worry about any other part of jetting till you get your mains dialed in, also pc pipes are gonna limit a ported motor.where did you get those? It looks like my earlier hand work but hard to tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball12 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Plugs are the same. Got them off craigslist. Any idea of intended use? If not the pc what pipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball12 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Sleeper06 do you still do port work? I have a set of stock jugs I would love to have setup for my style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumball12 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 i open it up in fields from time to time and run dirt pits around here. I also ride a track. I love to jump and don't mind doing it with speed. I was leaning dune/play port. Not really sure what. I don't want a real low focused job (mx Port). I still want to take money. I used to race mx in the 250 class (2-stroke) and I want something that will give me the blast of my 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Doobie420 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I would find out what kind of port timing the cyls u have already are. The pc pipes should be good for ur riding style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball12 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thinking about buying the 358 ss cub from a member. What do you think of those. Ports have not been touched 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSHEEBEEFM2M Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thinking about buying the 358 ss cub from a member. What do you think of those. Ports have not been touchedCan't go wrong with a cub. You'd need different pipes and carbs to get the full potential out of her though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Doobie420 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I say new 4mill crank and get ur cylinders ported. Then later get serval pipes and carbs. Boom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball12 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 For my type of riding I bought the 28mm for response. With my currant setup would I be happier for a while? I like the mid the pc provides although I lack on the top. Is 4mill necesary? I do not drag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
