Ethan Bourgeault Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hey guys so I am working on this 02 banshee and I am trying to get the carbs set up. I cleaned everthing and the pilots jets keep getting clogged and not letting the banshee rev up. I even installed a fuel filter and flushed out my gas tank. I run 20:1 fuel and the everytime I put it back together it runs like crap and bogs. I proceed to take it apart again and I find the pilot jets are clogged yet again. It also smokes pretty bad which means the plugs get fouled. I tried leaning it out but no matter how much I lean it out it still bogs and I am starting from base line settings. Any suggestions????? Also it was put away running and sat In a shed for 5 years before I started fixing it. If someone can give me some info that would be great. Thanks.

ginger Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 your running way to much oil. 32:1 is stock, and most run 40:1 once tuned right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Bourgeault Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Oh really... I didnt know that. Does that explain my plugged pilot jet. Should I just get new pilots jets because no matter how many time i clean them they get plugged again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Reynolds Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Wow 20:1 definitely isn’t helping anything. I run 40:1 on fresh motors and. I Go as light as 50:1 on older motors Edited April 12, 2018 by Burt Reynolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 what is it getting plugged with? rubber? i would say clean the tank out again, filter your gas going into the tank, and all new fuel lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
