jerstilly Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I am actually posting this for a friend who is having troubles with his banshee. He keeps fouling plugs and it ends up running off of one cylinder all the time. While sitting there reving the engine it seems fine, but there is no power in the first 2 gears, until he winds out 3rd gear. He pulled the plugs out, there is little to no color on the base ring on the plug, the porcelain and the ground strap are like a shiny black, no soot, and completely black and shiny. He is currently running fmf fatty's, ported motor, no air box lid, with a K&N filter. We ride basically at sea level or just above . His jetting is currently at 280, stock needle middle position, 30 pilots, 1 1/2 out on the air/fuel screws. Does this sound right for jetting. Also before our last ride, he always runs 94 octane, but could only find 91, then put in some octane booster, not sure on what brand etc etc. Could this cause problems??? Thanks A Lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 the pilots sound too big, depending on what kind of porting he has done, i would guess probaly a play/mx kinda port right? most guys have the 27.5 pilots in, and around a 340 main jet or so i beleieve, sound rich on the pilot and lean on the main, try to go down on the pilots and definatly up on the mains, unless the motor isnt ported? does he know where and what kind of porting he has done? alot of people confuse boring with porting... if the cylinders are ported,, i would way the main jet is way too lean, and the pilot is rich no matter what, is ther k&n cleaned and oiled right too?
