  1. Steel wool pot/pan scrubbers makes a good packing also
  2. Have you verified your idle screws actually raise the slides like their supposed too? If it were me I would focus on one area (jetting wise) at a time. Since currently you have no idle make sure your idle screws are lifting the slides just a little, then focus on your pilot/air screw for a nice idle and clean off-idle snap. I have a similar set up as you same carbs, your jetting should be close enough to at least let it idle half ass. It’s been my experience with too lean of a pilot the engine would be hard starting and may idle for just a little and slowly starve for fuel if that makes any sense
  3. I've had a Driveline head for several years its a good one. Fewer o rings to deal with
  4. Farm and Sand Toys (FAST) sells a sync tool https://farmandsandtoys.com/ocart2/carburetor-sync-tool.html
  5. Not sure what value's are in your area, but myself I would never pay that much for a Banshee unless it was set up better and I knew it's history better. Also the fact that the CL poster can't even type out any kind of description would make me move on right away. It looks fairly clean but mostly stock. Around me that's a $2,500 machine on a good day. Did anybody mention, it does not matter how much you put into one of these piles, they are never going to bring much money. I've bought 2 banshee's, first one was running but it was in rough shape, bought it for $1,300, added about $300 worth of parts, greased and cleaned everything, ran a leakdown and all was good, ran really well for about an hour then broke a piston. Come to find out it was on the original bore and pistons with a lot of hours. It got fully rebuilt, ported the whole deal. Second one I bought was for my wife, it was a basket case, paid $500 for it. Spent around $900 on bore, new pistons, new crank, gaskets, seals, cables etc. and its a very good running stock (except for pipes and pods) Banshee. If I had to do it over again, myself I would prefer the basket case route since I know everything was done right. A lot of bikes I see on Craigslist around me magically have a "fresh rebuild" and all are "scary fast". Even if they are freshly rebuilt you have no way of knowin if they were rebuilt right or half assed. Another problem is the market is flooded with cheap junk parts a lot of people will use especially when they plan the flip a bike.
  6. Pretty sure its an LB05F or E. One you can use with the little cap screwed on the plug and the other you have to take that cap off
  7. You can get new caps that screw right onto your wires from any parts store. Can't remember the NGK number for sure, (I'm at work now have new caps at home in the box with part number on it)but its like LB05EF? or something along them lines, You can get standard caps or with 5k resistor.
  8. I wouldn't be scared to get another 35 and run it since you already have one. If you decide to try 28's or 33's in the future you could always re-sell the 35's and get a smaller set if you wanted too.
  9. I used steel pot scrubbers. Cheap and can be picked up locally.
  10. It will be fine without the tank. Once the level in the radiator gets where it needs to be you shouldn't get any leaks out of the tube unless it gets hot or you have a problem.
  11. I can offer you a bit of advice on replacing your reeds, I always use a little Yamabond to seal both sides of the reed and the intake. They like to leak there if no sealer is used.
  12. I always trash the overflow bottles. And stock air filter set up for that matter
  13. When I change swingarm bearings I drill and tap each end of the bolt for a 1/8" npt zerk and drill a few small holes in the bolt where the bearing rides. I've done my two bikes and 3 or 4 for some buddies and they're still fine. Just grease them every now and then
  14. One of my back tires still has tree bark wedged in the bead from sliding into a log several years ago. You'll be fine
  15. I have to say this is, in my opinion the sweetest Blue plastic Banshee I have ever seen. I have never been of fan of Blue plastics or graphic kits for that matter, but damn this looks sweet. Good job
