My 94 Banshee sounds odd but actually runs somewhat decent surprisingly. I tried leaning out(counterclock turning air screws on stock carbs) and helped a bit but still doesn't sound crisp and poppy like most banshees. Any ideas? heres video https://youtu.be/p5eNvok3NC0 thanks in advance. I also bought clymer manual if that is of any relevance for further steps. Counter clock on a/f screw is richening, just an fyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to put plugs on and realized I ordered wrong ones 😡 re-ordered correct ones and will put them on thurs or Friday night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an air screw...out is more air, so counter clockwise is leaner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may adjust idle screw next if that's what you mean? Pretty sure it's all the way in. As far as choke I'll have to get a video tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ride.race.live Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) definitely seems to have cleared up a chunk but not 100%... make sure your carbs are synced what is your current air/fuel screw set at? id maybe lean it out 1/4 turn on each. (assuming you have the A/F screw installed on your carbs) Also i'd verify what your current jetting is.

(assuming you have the A/F screw installed on your carbs) Also i'd verify what your current jetting is. I will try leaning it out a bit more as they do have the screws on them. Also I have not watched the slides to make sure they're even but I'll need to check that. I ran out of time this weekend to continue working on it so will get back to you and the others who are trying to help as soon as I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride.race.live Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 before leaning it out anymore check on how many turns you currently got them set at from fully seated. if your under 1 full turn you may be rich on the pilot... for the hell of it and to be safe... have you tried richening the screw to see if it would get worse or better.... always safer to richen the circuit before you try leaning it out more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally only tried leaning out than rich so I'll try that after addressing the synch and start from fully seated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
