Buffoni Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 First off, riding a 2006 banshee with stock carbs, tors eliminator, fmf pipes, open air box. It didn't really run right in Delaware, now in in New Mexico and it's even worse. I can't find a jetting chart anywhere, and I'm still kinda new to carbs and elevation. I don't even know where to start when it comes to o jet size, pilot size, needle clip position, stuff like that. Can someone please give me a baseline to start with? The shop here is horrible and is of absolutely no help. Thanks in advance! Please kindly let me know if i left out any critical information.

Nightmare Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 280 main 25 pilot and needle in the 2nd position. I live in Albuquerque so I feel your pain. Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffoni Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Thanks nightmare! I'll try that. I just ordered a jet kit, and it comes with 280's so I'll start there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffoni Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 So i put the 280 main, 27.5 pilot, needle in the middle, air screw 1 turn out, wot to 6th, cut the engine, pulled the plug and it's perfect. I almost have it dialed in, but I'm still getting a bog from idle to 1/8. If i rev it a little, it's good, but still not good enough to even pop the front wheels up...It hesitates for a second then hits the powerband. Suggestions?

Hard to say if your off idle bog is from being to lean or too rich and if its the needle or pilot or a combination. You could try 2 turns out on the air screws (leaner) or try one clip position leaner or richer on the needle to see what makes an improvement.
