platinumjason Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) Yeah Ill get ahold of you closer to the day. I hope to have mine back together by this Sunday at the latest and if it dont blow in the yard I'll have it broke in and ready for Silver Lake. Dajogejr also if you can get up to Silver Lake later this fall let me know and I'll be there if the Banshee's working. Hell may even have to take the Warrior if it comes down to it.

dajogejr Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Jay...alky is about half the price of race gas. Down side is you go through almost twice as much...and you have to run it out of your tank, lines and carbs when you're putting the bike away for more than a few days. Or...purge it. You can count on me being there the last weekend of October. Gonna leave Thursday early from home....and have a solid weekend of riding.... Me and my buddy Bob will be there. If he craps out, I'll hook up with JT and get there... Already arranged it with work.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassbanshee479 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) I paid 2.65 a gallon over labor day when I was up at the dunes. its great for drag racing but I dont think I would run it in a play bike. you run out of alky during a full speed pass and you may have a set of pistons that look like the ones on the page before this one!! yeah that was a 4.3 with lock up and over ride. you would not know your clutch is sliping till you put a lock up in it. I could not believe it!! Edited September 21, 2006 by badassbanshee479 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rriggs Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 hey jason, i just realized you are in newaygo..my ole neck of the woods..i grew up in grant-newaygo area..im just up here in reed city...hell, we should be up to silver lake all the time seeings how we are only an hour from there..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platinumjason Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Haha yeah, earlier in the year I was there every other weekend. I got some work done to my Banshee done over Memorial weekend and its been blowing up ever since which is why I havent been up there too much this summer.

rriggs Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 damn man..that sux...what are you running your pre mix ratio at? i hope you arent using pump gas with those domes you have...run that sucker as rich as ya can, especially during break in...if ya need a hand, let me know...i think i have some extra jets somewheres around here if ya need some too..

platinumjason Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) I run 50:1 and I had 21cc domes in it but being Im thinking its an octane problem Im gonna try running 110 torco so Im gonna drop to the 19cc domes so I can get more compression out of it while having to run the race gas(if thats my problem). It looks like I definatly get detonation on the right side which is why I wondered the cost of alky being I hear its pretty rare to have that happen on alky. I think I should be able to get the beast together myself, its the first Banshee Ive ever done and I did my old CR80 with my dad telling me what to do and thanks for the offer ont he jets, but I bought a whole slew of them this summer and have from 250-370's so Im all good on that.

I could not believe it!! I just got some 14 row paddles thrown on....and I'm gonna try your 11 tallers. I got a feeling Saturday might be a good picture day, followed by a "follow the ambulance" day... Should be fun fo sho.... you two pipe down and stop teasing us....4 hours or so to Silver Lake for me. If I lived an hour away, I'd be there just about every weekend... :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I could be there tomorrow but the only sand the Banshee would be pounding is when Im towing the damn thing across the sand! Atleast you guys are near all of the good motor builders!
