Tight_Bolt_Hole Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) I just picked up my first Banshee. I saw it at a storage auction. Swooped it up for $1,200. The good: The quad already has some mods. Big ass chrome pipes and what is obviously a cnc alloy head. Has a Wiesco piston sticker on the side. Who knows what's in it. the bad: Some meth head has been picking at it. Missing random bolts here and there. One(1) entire carb is missing along with what looks like most of a 3rd party twist throttle. I just went on Fleabay and found a set of carbs.... $500.00. I think I just learned my first lesson in Banshee Parts. Do I have any other options? Edited October 8, 2020 by Tight_Bolt_Hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97Screamer Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 You shouldnt be paying more than $150 for a nice pair of stock carbs. Keihin 28mm PWK are one of the best upgrades imo. If you go that way make sure theyre genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bike only has the one carb and the single throttle cable. I'll take some photos today. I was too busy to mess with it when I got home yesterday.

375hp banshees Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Do some research, buy some carburetors without TORS, you don't need the TORS... there just problems and proper cable Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important thing anyone can tell you, never ever, ever, under any circumstances, buy anything from that seller. He sells cheap junk and uses bait and switch marketing. Dont believe me, google "Rattle Can Ray", thats who youre buying from. He owns Vitos which is also cheap junk. Get a hold of West Coast ATV Parts. They sell quality new and used parts at great prices. Edited October 8, 2020 by 97Screamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also googled up that carb recommendation. Is this the correct carb? https://www.amazon.com/Keihin-016-144-PWK-28mm-Carburetor/dp/B00C178IYK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
