  1. Hello, I have been doing some thinking and was wondering if anyone else has thought about this/seen any results themselves. My best guess would be longer tubes between carbs and filters may help lower end at the expense of top end. Possibly higher velocity/more laminar flow at low scoocums and slightly less flow at maximum scoocums? Or maybe the effect is minimal and the tubes simply choke the engine? What got me started was the CFM intake, to me its interesting and was surprised I didnt find too much conversation about the subject considering allot of people here drag and reed spacers are kinda popular.
  2. The engine has 4.8 hrs on it (according to the cheapo hr meter). I didn't start riding it hard until around 2 hrs. I have that tool and it is what I've been using, I have it dialed in as close as even as I can get, I noticed the tool doesnt seem too accurate...a full turn on the idle screw make it barely move, but theyre both sitting at 9(whatever units). The part that the airbox makes difficult is adjusting the throttle cables, really all I have for that is feeling the slides snap and an inspection mirror to look down the intake tubes. I think I have a leak somewhere and it has just slowly been getting worse, causing these starting issues, and now it is full blown burning something. Drained all the gas from the carb bowls, mixed up some fresh 32:1 Castor 927 and its still abnormally smokey. Prior to this I did idle/midrange/and a 1-3 plug chop, so it was fairly on jet. It's gotten a bit colder in the past week but I was expecting lean from that. Smoking out of both tail pipes about evenly. Looking for a blue hue from trans oil (Rotella T6) but I'm not seeing it, smell is a tad off. Coolant was maybe a 1/4" under the cap and no signs of coolant on the plugs. My first thought was right crank seal(seemed kind of leak prone when I was assembling the engine) but that wouldn't cause both sides to smoke...in fact I cant think of much that would cause both sides to smoke... Guess I'll start prepping it for another leakdown, fuck I hate leakdowns. I'd like to apologize, everytime I make a post I get a few posts in and pretty much realize I already know what I need to do, end up just commenting on what I'm doing lol. That said I really do appreciate the input, thanks.
  3. Well i think im burning tranny oil or coolant. This bad smoking is new. At idle its a little more smokey, thought its just cold. Let it idle while i check carb sync(thats good), still smoking after that. So i decide to drive it thru the yard, it felt fine(not lean or rich), but the smoke seemed to exponentially increase as i throttled up. Quickly got paranoid and killed it. Letting her cool off and its fluid/plug check time. Now im wishing it was electrical!!
  4. Yea it was an all around dumb idea but the tester survived... I do need to test the wire/coil R, havnt done that yet. Its normal to barely see a spark, its more like a pass/fail test? Now that you say the sync thing...yea it does sound like theyre out of sync. Maybe an idle screw wiggled around. I did loc tite them in but then had to fine tune one of them after the loc tite dried. Sucks putting 100% trust in the tool, cant see/feel the slides with the airbox.
  5. Yea i think the CDI might be more "technical" then I plan on getting. I have a butt dyno and a hole saw for chopping plugs. Flipping a switch and testing different timing tables would be cool, but i should have dyno access/know banshees better to be doing that. Thank you for the input 👍
  6. Banshee has slowly been getting tougher to start, especially in moist weather. Troubleshot it down to a weak spark and have been going thru the electrical system. Pretty much troubleshot down to a bad CDI or plug wires. Idle sounds rough to me but it still idles no problem, spark takes a few kicks to faintly see it. Just for shits and tits i hooked a meter up to the plugs, drastically different readings/no readings with as consistent kicks as i could give it Are there any tangible benefits to the timing curves in aftermarket CDIs? Currently running +4 plate. 421 Driveline LP trail bike Heres the idle. Cold start but had been idling about a min prior to video
  7. What special said. Recently tried single stage Unis+CFM airbox for the first time on a new to me Banshee. Holy tits...clesning the Unis every other ride compared to K&N's once a month on my other atvs...that means almost all the dust is going thru the K&Ns.... I am really happy with the airbox though, its badass, BUT I cant touch/see the slides easily and it turns removing the carbs into an hr of jerking off the airbox
  8. Well I started with repacking the silencers, they were horrid. The excessive death in the silencers made me look at the expansion chambers better, there was about an eighth inch of carbon on the header side. The T5's will already be choking my setup so I decided to clean them internally. May have been a waste of time but a whooole lotta exhaust splooge came out regardless. Guess I'll paint em black and make a snoozer
  9. Hey guys...in the process of restoring a Banshee. I think I may have messed up my Toomeys... After cleaning out the insides of one expansion chamber, I made the mistake of hitting it with a finishing pad using an angle grinder...I think they are chrome and I just ate the chrome and ruined the nickel underneath? So my question... will they rust quickly if I just leave the brushed look? Should I high temp paint them? (Sleeper mode hehe) I do plan on upgrading my carb/exhaust setup around the springtime so I am not too motivated to put the elbow grease into full on polishing it. thanks
  10. Apologies for the bump Lost comp, pulled the engine and....more questions! Case is all initial'd up, kinda further pisses me off... It has a Wiseco crank...one side of the rods says WR10010, other side says 388 R2. Can't really find shit for info so I THINK its just a stock replacement not welded. WPC100 Would anyone trust this crank with a Driveline 392 kit? Looking at some used "stock bore/factory" jugs, I would use the crank for those but ehhh...feel like im just buying more junk to try and fix.
  11. Noted for a few months down the road lol Yea i sync'd them and fiddled with the air screws on day 1. I would say i dont like them, but im just used to keihins
  12. Where ya duning up in Michigan? All we got is this place called St. Joes State Park in MO, its mining runoff and is a bit stickier then real sand. Thoroughly screws everything, I avoid going there. Edit: good to hear Stribz, thats why I wanted a Banshee haha. Already got my 308EX for handling/goon riding, wanted some serious POWA
  13. Will do on the pods. I'm at 470', probably just order some 350's/27.5's from JetsRUs when I order everything. I know its running rich now, but I honestly dont see a point in tuning it at this point.
  14. Pretty set on the driveline setup after doing some more research. Think I'm going to get one more paycheck under my belt and pull the trigger on the 4mil crank and 68mm cylinder setup! I can't find any good info on Drivelines cranks, I'm going to assume they're good and just get it all from them rather then a HR crank. I like the idea of 392, but I am afraid of throwing a rod....been there, done that on a car lol It sucks I bought this bike 2 weeks ago and already have to throw $1500 and a few weeks of work into it. But hey, I'll have my (almost) dream bike and you can't buy any factory wheeler with comparable power for less then $4500!! Its just the 2 to 1 intake, I have both carbs. If anything I'll trade the Uni filter on it in for a K&N w/ prefilty. Probably going to see how it runs/do a plug chop on the 30/360 jets that are in it now and go from there once I get to that stage. Once again, thanks for the friendliness and advice. I know this info is already out there for the most part. It's cool to see a decent community. Just went for a little yard rip, god damn I love this bike.
