Oilsmoke Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Jim here is the webpage I was talking about to day. Ufo pic Don't Laugh it's real. Muhehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsaripper Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Kinda exspencive isn't it. But I think it would work. The problem that the round slides have, is that they have lots of turbulance on both sides of the slide where it mates with the carb body. It doesn't improve with flow. So people go to flat slides.

Oilsmoke Posted November 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 The UFO was a great mod for snowmobilers It should work great in my 34mm roundslides. The bog which i have in part throttle, From what I have read is cause by the airflow coming under the cutway on the slide and hitting the front lip of the round slide than pushing the flow down into the unrestirted airflow on the lower half which really messes it up. My freind told me it was one of the mod you could really feel On his sled. I plan on a set someday in january to test out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blk02banshee Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 here's a link to some more info: Thunder products-UFO They have them for the stock banshee carbs, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 My friend tried them in his Formula sled and couldnt' get them to work..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Wouldn't hurt to try it, my friend isn't the best mechanic and it made the sled rev at an idle...He couldn't get it to stop revving out so he just pulled them back out...it might have been something he did, I don't know....

fixitrod Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I seen those a couple weeks ago. Made me wonder if it'd fix the water problem that the stock banshee carbs have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilsmoke Posted December 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hey Fixitrod. I live in the dryest state in America! what is the banshee water problem ? could you enlighten me on this subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 The carbs stick slighlty open and when trying to get through water. I did several test and believe of vacuum is being created either by water getting in through the choke circuit or the outside of the carb body shrinking because of temp change. I believe it's vacuum because the slides drop the instant you turn the motor off. You can watch them when the air filter is off. I bought new carbs and can play in the water just fine now.

itsaripper Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Oilsmoke Have you put more compresson into your motor. Why I ask is, when you put 34mm carbs on a stock compresson engine, it has a hard time sucking gas up the needle jet at low rpms because the vacume is to low. You aren't having any trouble once things start getting wound up? More compresson would cause more vacume and throttle response. I have the same mods as you except aftermarket head and 20cc domes. The carbs are stock tapper bored to 27.5 and my throttle responce is great. I mean idleing along in second and punch the throttle and instant pull, right away. Think about going back down to 28 or 30 carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsaripper Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 I think when you get the new head on it will take away the bog. Well the 34s would go good on the 370 stroker. Befor I spent $60 I would take some JB weld and fill that up and cut the little slots out with my die grinder. See if some slides are on ebay and try it.
