FRONT SHOCKS PLUS HELP NEEDED


Recommended Posts

Ok so the banshee i am working on that was was neglected for some time has multiple issues and i am working through them but as its the first banshee for me to work on . Usually work on jet skis motorbikes and boats. Got a couple of questions that i am sure you experienced guys could help me with. its not a stock Banshee and has PT PIPES Duncan International racing motor with PWK 35MM carbs and K&N filters.

I have managed to get it to start bu doing the following. , cleaned out carbs (jets are 55 and 160 we are at sea  level with high ambt temps ) ,all get were blocked up heavily with gunk and varnish. stuck fresh gas and new plush in after put a little oil down plug holes.

1 Got ho;es in the left exhaust pipe.(will get it welded up)

2Front brake master cylinder full of crud and sh1t. ( pulled the two front calipers of stripped them down cleaned and reassembled. flushed out brake line top to bottom and bottom to top. got a new master cylinder oem on order)

3 Front right shock found top insulator missing completely. are they standard oem on the WORKS SHOCK? and do they use  NITROGEN/AIR? And at what pressure a they charged to ?(Works Performance Shock)  

4 Radiator leaking so have found one on ebay made in Florida with life time warranty ( anybody had issues with aftermarket radiator)

5 throttle cable ,when converting from stock carbs to PWK is the throttle cable changed too.I am thinking of sticking a new throttle cable i

 

i need to learn how to adjust the mixture screws at some stage. I made contact with DUNCAN racing who told me use 105 octane gas but at present running it on 98 as that's what we have at the gas station. I may  still get two carb kits and redo the carbs again and stick the parts into ultrasonic bath as they were the worst carbs i have seeF

 

thanks guys feel free to through the kitchen sink at me

If Duncan told you to run higher octane, you had better heed their advice. They know their stuff and they know what their motor will need. If you short change that motor on octane, you’ll be rebuilding it in no time. 

Works is back up and running, so you should be able to call them for parts or to have them serviced. There are even a few other guys that service the works stuff and have been making their own parts for them. 

As far as that throttle cable, you’ll Definitely need a cable for those carbs, and possibly even a set of the taller adjusters that go in to the tops of the carbs. Those can be found at F.A.S.T.

Thanks guys 

another question is the PT pipes , are they chromed ?

got some holes and was planing to get a patch welded to them 

cut out the hole and do an insertion patch 

or maybe looking for a High Rev Left pipe 

can’t believe they would corrode this bad picture looks worse than it is need to crop pic to big in file size 🙈
