Relytt58 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 (edited) I got my banshee about 2 months ago and it now has Toomy T-5 piped, V-force reeds with spacers, shaved head, TORS removed, and for jetting I am running 320's with the K&N clamp ons. With that setting it Foulded the plugs before i could even start it. But I wanted the airbox in because of the weather here "wet". I live in Washington state at sea level and the temp between 50-70 degrees. ANY Ideas on what i should run because i have no idea. PLEASE HELP i want to run with air box.

akita8 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Sounds like the right size jet. You might want to check the and see if you installed the carb slide correctley after your mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relytt58 Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Are you sure that sounds right because I have the air box in. I havent tried running it but I thought that that would be really rich because I was running the clamp ons with no air box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Try a 280 main...you are too rich at 320 with the air box. Stock pilot, needle in middle clip. Turn the air screw 1.5 turns out...see how that runs. Also...what kind of oil are you using, and at what mix ratio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relytt58 Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Also...what kind of oil are you using, and at what mix ratio? I am using redline at 32:1 does that sound right because that is what i run in my CR250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Nope...should be perfect. Just wanted to make sure you weren't running Crisco at 20:1.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relytt58 Posted September 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 (edited) Yea im not that much of a newbie. Just to this forum and banshees. The guy that live next door to me just got a banshee and he thought that it was a four poke and ran strait gas in it and blew the engine 30 minutes after he got it! But I will go and buy some 280's tomorrow and try them and i will post the results. Edited September 3, 2006 by Relytt58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Cool beans.. If you have the money, get a set of 270 and 290s as well...to fine tune it. If you put in 280s, it runs pretty good, the plug chop turns out ok or a little rich...leave it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put in 280s, it runs pretty good, the plug chop turns out ok or a little rich...leave it.... If you still have TORS check all switches,i.e., throttle,parking brake, If they are ok, ckeck plug caps, mainly where the wire meets cap, might have to trim wire to get better contact, lastly check wires on stator, I've had to two buddies have the same problem as you and it was a bare sot in the wires running through the cases. I have found 90% of "carb" probelms are electrical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Toybox, that is a damn fine point. He did specifically said he fouled it before he could start it... His jetting is rich IMO...however, it should at least run, if not bog a little in the upper.... Electrical is often overlooked...I must agree. As are things like old plugs, old stale gas.... And stock coils are notorious for having the caps fail.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent last weekend troubleshooting my big bore on a similiar probelm and had a bare wire, I mean it was A SMALL bare spot on mine, after it was patched I jumped the old PWK from a 170 to a 195!!

dajogejr Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Sorry to muddy up your thread akita...but.... Toybox, that's exactly why I stripped my harness, pulled my lights, removed my key and headlight/run switch and bought ALL NEW igntion parts, stator, CDI and coil. I had enough things to worry about on my new build to try and figure out electrical too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dajogejr, I did the same, but it was my old hillclimb bike that sat a part for 7years, decided to get her going before winter hits this year! Electricals a pain, especially when you get into fuel injection, aka the new sleds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relytt58 Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hey thanks I will look at all of the eletrical. I have the kit that gets rid of the TORS on it so that isnt a problem. But i will go and look at the wiring right now. Also I found out that my local shop is closed so I have to wait until Friday to get the jets.

dajogejr Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 You can order jets online at a few places. I know magic racing sells them. You can also go to sudco.com or carbparts.com and get them as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
