It’s hard and frustrating especially when you’re trying to figure it out for over a year it’s just disappointing when you build a banshee from the ground up and put so much money into it just to have this little problem that you cannot figure out I’m really hoping these last few adjustments that I have not made work if not then I don’t know Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m thinking I might just buy at two into one carburetor kit and I don’t got a mess with two carburetors Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes what I used was number 4 I just looked works great Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes stock needles and it’s has been hot and humid but about to get a lot hotter with summer coming but it’s not like a Florida hot lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Idk lol it’s just white goop I didn’t know there was diff kinds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use the yamabond it works good and no leaks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Someone said it could be my clutch two could this be the case I have put brand new clutch plates in but maybe I don’t have it adjusted right I don’t know it takes off fine shifts fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah cause I’ve been doing all the stuff that people of been telling me and it is not working the only thing I have left to do is adjust the air screws in the pilot after that there’s really not much I can do at least not that I know of but if you want to know what’s in there right now it is stock motor 27.5 pilots 290 mains air box lid off needle at 2nd notch up from bottom and 32-1 gas fmf Exhaust Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I don’t know if feels so close just seems like everything I change does not help but I have not adjusted the air screws maybe that’s the problem or maybe the pilots idk whatever’s making it dog when u full throttle for few seconds then hits power band Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are right and I have done mostly everything you’re saying and it has not changed I think I’m going to adjust the air screws first and see if that helps if not then I’m gonna throw stock pilots back inAnd see if that helps and if that don’t help then I don’t know probably sell the fucking thing I’m sick of messing around with it I’ve been trying to figure this out for over a year now and I’ve tried everything Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll go back to that and let you know how it goes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stock motor 290Jets 27.5 pilots FMF exhaust and I don’t know the elevation I live in Wellsville New YorkNow the deal is when I for throttle it dogs before power band if I slowly let the RPMs get up and then floor it it drives fine I just cannot full throttle it so what’s the deal oh yeah my needles at the second notch up from the bottom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the right is smoking more it’s crank seals but could be car issue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just rly want this cleared up before this Memorial day ride Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok ty you guys I’ll try that then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll try it ty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I’m correct it’s 2 to 2 1/2 out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya it’s worth a shot I guess Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why would I need to change it back to the stack pilot jet doesn’t that just control idling it idles fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What size is stock pilots Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No don’t know how but spark was black and wet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Everything I have read about the Jets that is the minimum number I should up that to having an FMf for exhaust Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And don’t get discouraged when I first got mine the crank seals were bad too and I knew nothing about four wheelers while rebuilding them watch some YouTube and I rebuilt that thing in less than a day it’s easy super easy and I had absolutely no small motor rebuild knowledge but I’m a good mechanic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
