The Noob Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'm finding through MANY trials and error's changing jetting, that my relatively stock banshee with Pipes and reeds was Not responsive off idle with the K&N open box set up. I'm well aware that the K&N breathes better providing more HP, but I found that the Proline Foam provides better off idle snap than the K&N with stock carbs (trust me I tried every conceivable jetting configuration) and even better throttle response with the lid ON. My question is; with the Lid On will that effectively make the bike run Leaner or richer (less, air less gas-more air more gas) I'm confused !!

wayne_smith97 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 First off the filters weren't screwing with your throttle response. It was the pilot jet size or adjustment with the change in filters. If you put the lid back on your mix will be richer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfaith08 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Should we start providing help for a rebuild yet or should that be put off until asked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett131 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Are you running a boost bottle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Noob Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 No boost bottle ...... or Amp link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Noob Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I whole heartedly disagree with the pilot jet. I went from 25 ( which a Toomey representative insisted on) all the way to 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Noob Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 So just to be clear... If I run it with the lid on, I'll be running richer ? Thanks for responding to this elementary post, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went from 25 ( which a Toomey representative insisted on) all the way to 35 You disagree with his opinion on jetting but you put a mainly stock bike to a 35? 4mil built bikes are running 27.5 - 30, so again please tell me how much jetting/tuning experience you have that you can disagree with someone at all?

willaduncan Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Less air/more fuel is rich, more air/less fuel is lean. So any time you restrict air flow you are leaning it out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldskool Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Have you sync carbs at any point during all this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Noob Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 BECAUSE...I've taken the carbs off 20+ times to 're-jet it, and yes the carbs are synched, and yes I did a compression check, and yes I did a plug chop, and yes I've been riding dirt bikes since 1977 and no I'm not an expert on Banshee jetting...yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
