RagunCajun Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 damn right, go back to the dealer. If they are anything like the local idiot stealership here, they wont do a damn thing. Atleast you can get stock banshee carbs for cheap on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Yea your local stealership isn't gonna do anything for your cause. My local dealership is a piece of shit, I asked some technical questions and got the googly eyes from them like I had a dick on my face. If anyone ever goes to southern ocean cycle in south jersey, your a bigger idiot then the guy selling you the bike. Starts scouring the hq for stock carbs or hit up ebay.

sredish Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 can you show us a picture of where you drilled it? Most likely, you can get some jb weld and close the hole smoothly, just don't let any get to the inside of the carb. you'll probably want to do that with the carb off or at least with the slide out so you can see inside where the hole pokes through.
