jaredvh Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I recently decided to go with a K&N filter and I didn't change my jetting or anything. Yesterday I noticed it was running strange and realized it was only firing on 1 side. I checked spark and from 1 side there was nothing. I changed out the plugs and it ran fine again. Is there a possibility that because I didnt change my jetting that my banshee is running lean and burning out plugs?? THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Yes lean = hot. If it is melting the ground straps off plugs then it is way lean. You could burn holes in your pistons as well. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
