I got curios also and googled it... to be more specific, “Urine cortisol-creatinine ratio” is not what you’re looking for. “Un-corrected compression ratio” proved to be much more helpful. 😂😂

It sounds like you still have the TORS units on the carbs like in his picture ☝️ I highly recommend a TORS delete kit (vitos makes a nice one). It gets rid of that clumsy adjustment that comes with TORS and puts idle adjustment screws in the holes you were talking about.

93 octane is rated up to approximately 160 psi. Maybe need at least a 50/50 mix with some 110 race fuel.

Well, I gave it a try and it’s been sitting over night with no sign of any leaks. Thanks for the advice.

There’s really nothing that could be wrong on a Banshee that would make it not worth buying simply because even perfect ones will always need wrenching. You really just need to take stock on everything it will need and decide if it’s more than you can chew and whether or not the price is fair.

I’ll give this a try. Would metal polish work? I have some of that. If I’m going to take it apart again I’ll switch the needle seats around and see if the other one starts leaking instead. And to answer ‘Sheego, it has all new fuel lines.

I have tried that. It’s not a fast leak like a float is stuck. It’s a slow leak that drips very consistently like something doesn’t quite seal up correctly. It is just in the right side carb.

Tighter than 22mm ?? Isn’t that the max? It shouldn’t be leaking when they are set that high.

I don’t know what else to do. I put brand new float needles and seats in, new gaskets, floats are in fact floating, and set to the max tolerance (22mm) and it’s still leaking fuel out the overflow tube. What else is there?

Lol, I knew a guy who had a 600 Arctic Cat snowmobile that kept blowing head gaskets and one time he didn’t have a spare so he used a beer box and that was the last time he had to replace that gasket. 😄

I literally just found the exact same thing on my ‘88. I might just try a really thin coat of gasket maker between the two.

That’s kind of the tricky thing because there is actually a spindle housed inside swingarm that fits tight around the bolt and you can’t really get heat just to that part to expand it. You might be able to get somewhere just heating the bolt up real slow and then let it cool. Sometimes that’s enough to get it to break free.

Is it lose enough that it at least spins? Put a wrench on the right side and spin it a few times before you hit it. Also some penetrating oil. Next step is maybe heat. I just took mine out too and it was kinda stubborn. Good luck.
