Dinner Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Have you tried using the Choke to start it when it is cold? And if it still wont start you will have to pump up your pilot jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ting Ting Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 You might want to change the pilot jet to a 27.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) If your at sea level with temps like 60 deg or above, a 340 is probably too rich. I would have bought 280-310 and started with the 310 and gone down from there, your probably better off with around 290 but always better to start rich. But the pilot jet is what should be affecting the banshee at startup. Or maybe you didn't put the carbs back together properly? Under the carb top when you adjusted the needle jet there is a metal piece with a hole in it that has to be put back in properly, The hole should line up with the hole in the carb. If you block the hole in the carb the bike will run like ass, if at all, and you will have all kinds of problems. Also make sure you did not switch any of the left carb parts with the right, or visa versa. Make sure the crossover tube (fuel tubing) between the carbs is attached to both carbs (this is for the choke but the bike won't start easy without it attached). If you are sure all these things are correct does it start/idle better with the choke out? You may also need to adjust the airscrew.

dajogejr Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Sorry...Justin. But in my experience with three different shees, stock carbs, T5s and K&N pods. 330 to 340 was the range for less than 1000ft 65 to 90 temps.... However, I agree...it's either the connecting tube between them is not connected or the slides are swapped. I've used 25 and 27.5 pilots in that setup...either will do fine...the bigger just needed more turns out on the air screw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
