bansheeman1988 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Okay so now my banshee runs when you keep on the gas but it doesnt idle at all no matter how much you turn up the idle screws. Plus sometimes when you come to a stop and pull in the clutch, the engine keeps revving and doesnt wind down as fast as it should?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! dont read sig, current mods are pipes, jetting 280, 25, and 2 turns out. Cleaned the carbs till they were spotless also!

scooter6101982 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 try 27.5 pilots thats what it sounds like to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeman1988 Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 yeah i think i might do that since everything else i tried hasnt worked at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Have you checked for an air leak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeman1988 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Have you checked for an air leak? Yeah i sprayed carb cleaner to see if the engine would die, but it never happend to die at all so im just assuming its way to lean. It runs good on the choke one click out, and good when you get on the throttle but wont idle for shit!!!@#$ HELP!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brugal Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) How are your plugs?Sounds like you may be lean.Did the weather change?You might need to adjust your pilot/airscrew some. Edited January 14, 2008 by brugal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Definately sounds lean on the low end. When you cleaned the carbss, did you take the pilots out, blow some compressed air through them? If so, turn your airscrews in to 1/2 turn just to see if that solves your problem. If it does, I would go w/ the 27.5's and 1 to 2 turns out. You don't want to mess w/your idle adjustment until you get the pilot ckt straight. If none of this helps, better find out if you have an air leak as mentioned. The fact that it runs better w/the choke half out is a tell tale sign that it is lean.

bansheeman1988 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yeah thats what i figured it was when it ran better with the choke, ill mess with it tomorrow maybe. Hopefully it solves my prob, and oh yeah i cleaned them carbs spotless and inspected every orfice for a spec of dirt. So it must be my pilots!

Lepew Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 What did you come up with? Did you have this problem all of a sudden or did you make some mods and rejet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeman1988 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Havent had the time to work on it yet, plus its like below zero out so not fun either. Maybe this weekend ill take a peek at it. No mods added yet, i have a few to put on yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJC Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 hey dude. i had a problem that when i pushed in my throttle open my sliders would stick in the carbs.. i polished them up ( to a mirror like finish ) and i havent had the trouble since. it was fine in 20 plus degree weather but it started happening when it got colder. try that.. could be something simple.

bansheeman1988 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Ill do that too, the black paint or whatever on the slides is wearing off and looks like it could pose a problem also. But i always lube up the slides with WD40 before they go back together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeman1988 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 figured it out, I did some tweaking on the airscrews and she idles pretty good now. There is still a little misfiring in the left cylinder so i dunno!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast Banshee Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Have you checked for an air leak? beat me too it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 When you say you cleaned every orrifice, did you remove the pilots and blow compressed air through it, or poke it w/something to clean it out? Where did you end up to get it running better on the airscrews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
