brock42 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I just recently bought a 2005 banshee and it had the tors delete already done. But whoever did it never drilled, tapped and installed the idle screws the hole is just filled with silicone. Would you guys happen to know why this would have been done. I know it's not right but just curious as to why it would have been done and will it hurt anything if it stays like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTWANNARACE Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Common sence would tell me the hole has been at least drilled, or there wouldn't be silicone in there if there wasn't a hole. Jmo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brock42 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'll try to get some pics this afternoon. The spare parts he gave me it had the idle screws in there but they weren't installed. I will have to pull the carbs off and see what I can see but is it necessary to install the idle screws.

Toybreaker Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Some lazy people just adjust the cable on the top of the carb to sync and set the idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTWANNARACE Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 The problem with setting idle with the carb tops and cables is there is no slack in the cable. So you have potential of throttle reving up or sticking when you turn the bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brock42 Posted December 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Found out why the holes were siliconed. I got the carbs off and removed the silicone from the idle screw holes and both holes have a broken tap in them. I took it to work and got the taps out with a carbide endmill and re tapped the holes but the holes are waddled out and the screws are extremely loose. Would it hurt to drill the hole oversized and press in a plug and redrill and tap or should I just look for a new carb body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
