MULLET~BOY Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 yeah the pingel is great i think any banshee owner with big carbs should get one couse if you really thing about it the stock petcock (i hate that word) is really like a main jet you can only get so much fuel threw it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 I have modified my wifes 1990 Banshee by milling the head .030", advancing the timing 5 degrees, and lightening the flywheel (Total cost = $160 plus shipping). Other than a K&N filter in the stock airbox this motor is totally stock (Probably time for a top end job after 13 years of riding). how do you advance the timing 5 degrees? is this something that can be easily done for little or no money? thanks you can get get a +4 degree key from vitos for about $20 or some where else or have you stock timing plate modified someone on the hq does this, or buy a aftermarket timing plate for about $80.

evil Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 scott m mods the stock timing plates and sells them for i think 25 bucks plus an exchange for your stocker, or can even help you do yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BdBanshee Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 The timing advanced +4 degrees will give you 2.1 more HP, so for a few bucks that is a pretty good HP/$ ratio. Here is a pic of a modified plate: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WickedBanshee Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 i dont know where some of u r coming up w/ these prices like 220 for stroker porting and 100 for alky carbs???? those would be a hell of a deal. but im w/ jethro 100% on this one. my builder bought an 87 banshee. it looked like crap. had some old and i mean old fmf's on it, dont even know what kind but they were pretty high rev i guess w/ some shitty ass fmf silencers. he gave it a high rev drag port. modded the stock head, and swithed the stock carbs to alky. extended the swingarm +4. prolly ported the stock reed cages. all in all it had stock head, stock carbs, and old shitty lookin pipes. looked like a shitty piped banshee but waxed other drag bikes. you wouldnt be beating 4 strokes. you would be owning all piped banshees and all 4 strokes by at least 6 bike lengths. go w/ drag porting, mod the stock head, switch the stock carbs to alky, port the stock reed cages, new pistons, and weld up the crank. throw on some 10 paddle haulers and whoop the living holy hell outta every 4 stroke that crosses your path.
