Hi guys new here and new to Banshee/quad ownership in general. 

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

dont bother trimming wire ends till you get the new caps in that case. 

 

if you trim the wire and it still shows some rust / corrosion keep trimming bits until its clean.. if its all shit through out... either get new plug wires or a whole new OEM coil which is aprox 97 bucks or so. 

Went to put plugs on and realized I ordered wrong ones 😡

re-ordered correct ones and will put them on thurs or Friday night

one side seems pretty light vs the other.

 

pull plugs see what they look like.    maybe even ohm plug caps  should ohm under 5K 

Just got done trimming Plug wires and changed Plug caps and adjusting air screws so here is new Video

Seems to sound better  and that was after warmed up nicely taken up and down street a few times  

anyone feel free to give any more tips or if it sounds too lean or rich 

Edit: that rattle is my kickstarter

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.

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

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

Ok I'll work on this stuff. I originally only tried leaning out than rich so I'll try that after addressing the synch and start from fully seated
