Bio-Hazard shee Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 i got some dirt sucked into my carbs and in my motor, but i didn't ride very long, i rode my shee for 1 or 2 minutes and i had airbox snorkles on my carbs, cause i just got my carbs fixed and i wanted to see how well they worked, so i took it out for a test ride quick then shut it off. and when i took the snorkls off, i saw dirt sitting on the back edge of the carb, so i cleaned that out, but i know dirt got sucked into my motr, what should i do? am i going to have to take my top end apart?

bigboybanshee Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 No, just ride it until it breaks You're gonna get dirt in the carbs eventually, the filter can't keep "everything" out. As long as there aren't glops of mud in there you'll be OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventualy going to have to rebuild it anyways 365874[/snapback] I just got my top end rebuilt, and today i just found out that my friend was riding my shee, cause i leave it over there sometimes, he was riding it around when i wasn't there or without asking me and i told him before i didn't want my banshee to be riden until i get an airbox, well now i took off the snorkels again and saw dirt in the same area on the carbs, and i know more got sucked into my motr, so now i guess i have to rebuild my top end. and i just got it rebuilt and now i have to rebuilt it again, well i just need to replace the rings don't it, the pistons are fine i hope, and the cylinder walls will have to be honed won't they?

SANDSTAR Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Dude, heres whatca need to do..... 1. Fn' punch your "friend" in the mouth. 2. Clean your carbs. Change your oil. Clean out your fuel tank. 3. Quit worring about a topend job until you have concrete evidence that the engine is tired. 4. Go to your doctor and get checked for tourett's and ADD. 5. Get rid of that snorkle. Your problem might be that you are not replacing the airbox lid correctly. Get rid of the stock filter sys and get a clamp-on filter(pro-design,etc).

XxMeltIcexX Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 I will agree with everything sandstar said, but i wouldn't take off the stock airbox and put clamp ons on. Some people will disagree with me, but my understanding is that its not good to have that weight hanging on the carbs like that, unless you have somethign to hold them up.. Correct me if i'm wrong? The stock airbox with the adaptor plate on it with a K&n will do the trick just perfect! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
