new2the'shees Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 So...background story here folks. Picked up a 02 'Shee off a buddy in pieces. He tore it apart because no compression. I picked it up in pieces for $700. new top end kit, honed cylinder walls, fired right up like a champ....BUT CARBS LEAKING OUT OF OVERFLOW...I know this is super common...HOWEVER...I have cleaned the needles and they seal outside of quad sometimes and sometimes they don't. when hooked to quad they do not leak until you shake the atv back and forth then,,,dribble dribble out of both overflows. Thought it could be the fuel being dirty from the tank sitting around, put inline fuel filter, still dribble when shaking the ATV. after it dribbles, voila no more until you move the quad around. I raised the float levels to no avail. My next step is to purchase the OEM float needle assembly off motosport. My question is, am I on the right path number 1? Number 2, where is this so called o-ring for the seat and where online could I purchase it, and HOW THE HECK DO I GET THE BRASS SEAT THAT THE NEEDLE SITS IN OUT OF THE CARB? I took the screw and subsequent hook that holds the seat, but the seat is dogon stuck in there. Does it thread out? I am so overly frustrated after about 6 assemblies and disassemblies. ANY ideas here folks??? Banging head against the wall here with this stupid little issue that is preventing me from ripping my new Banshee that I worked so hard on to rebuild and took a huge gamble on in purchasing in pieces. Previous owner said he did not have this issue. Carbs did sit upside down while quad was apart with fuel in them...Trying to provide as much info as possible here guys, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be 21-22mm give or take a mm I believe. Take them apart, and clean them..........pussy clean as Larry would say. Try some tooth paste on the needle seats. May just be wore out. Look them over well. sent from yo mammy house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camp0429 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 And your headin in the right direction to get the needle seat out, remove screw and hold down, then remove seat. May take same persuasion to get it out if it's stuck. When you get it out, then you will see where the o ring you had questioned goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2the'shees Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I was wondering why it was in there so snug, as if it were part of the body of the carb. But you suggest is slides out of the bowl side correct? No threading just a snug fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2the'shees Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Question- Does the float needle valve assembly on motosport come with the brass seat and o-ring....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2the'shees Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Im ready to just buy a set of carbs that are tried and true. P.O. left out the darn air idle screws out (TORS kit) because "quad wouldnt run with the screws in" so its basically just atmosphere going into carbs through those tapped and threaded holes...LOL Like running something without an air filter if you ask me...Good thing i went over the top end and honed the cylinders. Definitely would need jetted at least to compensate for the lean conditions caused by the lack of air idle screws am I correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandSlingerOR Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I would just buy a used set of stock carbs with the tors already removed. Also buy a carb sync tool as well. Cause chances are the carbs will be out of sync & cause more frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2the'shees Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Anyone have any TORS kit carbs for sale already tapped for the air idle screws??? and the sync tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowroll Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 If the tors is deleted, they have to have idle screws or they will not run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScEaMin BaNsheE 305 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 ive seen a banshee with no idle screws, it was adjusted by the cable on the top of carbs, i felt sorry for his abused banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowroll Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 people like that should not reproduce. Is tapping the carb body that hard? I mean, the idle screw kit is what? $25?? It has instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
