Nighty Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 My banshee is starting to develop a bog between 1/8th and 1/4th Throttle, according to the jetting faq this is regulated by the slide valve cutaway. The last thing i changed (some time before this bog started) is the float hight of my carb bowls. The temperature has rized a bit. All my other Throttle positions are fine. I never heared anyone about changing carb slides for jetting. Any workarounds for this? The mods are: -t5's -K&N filters -boyeson reed petals -4 degrees advanced timing -25 pilot jets needle (aftermarket dynojet) in 5th position and 340 mains. Thanks.

sredish Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 lean your needle one clip and see if it goes away. I run 5th clip all winter and when it warms, like it is now, I fall back to the 4th and eliminate a little bog that will develop if I don't. Another scenario if you want to get real technical with your needle (since you have an aftermarket one already), you could experiment with a different taper that would be richer than your current around 1/2 throttle and run it in the 4th. You'll get similar performance you have now above 1/4 / 3/8 throttle while still leaning the 1/8 to 1/4 circuit. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 warmer weather will always cause a little more hesitation due to less density in the air = to less hp and cooling efficientcy which will heat up the intake air even more.....Anyways.....you might want to turn out the air screws a little to lean out the pilot some more for the warmer air......

Nighty Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Thanks both, Lol i actually bought 30 pilots last summer since 25 sounded lean plugs looked good after a check. I try both, but i think the needle will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducman Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Yup, try turning air screws our 1/2 to 1 turn and see if that improves throttle at 1/8th. Need to lean the pilot a bit with the warmer thinner air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
