Okay I will go and try this here in a minute. I have always made it a habit to turn the fuel off on anything with a carb when I’m off the bike. Will let you know how it goes.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So my carb has started leaking out of the overflow randomly every other week or so. I sent some pictures to a buddy of mine and he said the float adjustment looks fine and that I should check the needle and seat to see if it needs replaced. It looks fine to me (even though I am still going to replace it) so I just cleaned it with a Q-tip and carb cleaner and put everything back together. After doing so, I noticed there was air in the fuel line and no fuel was going to the carb so I took the needle and seat out, cleaned, and then after it was all back together gas was flowing to the carb and it started right up. However after warming up for 5 minutes I took it down the road to make sure all was well and it died on me. The only way I could get it started was with the choke on and it would only go about 100ft at a time and die. Any ideas on what to do? Should the new needle and seat fix the issue?

I have a lot of misc. parts that I am selling and people from out of state are interested. They are paying for shipping but what is the best and easy way to ship a seat and a set of back plastics? Any carriers better than other for this? Best pricing?

Awesome! Thank you for the help. I ended up being able to get 11-23 volts to the front left socket but nothing to the right one. All of the wires are hot so it is looking like I will just have to replace the front right socket, and get the voltage regulator. My guess is that since the voltage is very irregular, it probably blew my led bulbs? The bulbs are also 55 watts so I am guessing the stator wouldn't have been able to power them as is since it is stock. It's just looking like the guy didn't do his research about the LEDs and how to wire them up. Now the voltage regulator just has to tap into both of the yellow wires going to the lights correct? And I just have to ground the voltage regulator to a good ground.

LOL yup I didn’t want to seal them up until I got it working so that I didn’t waste tape/wrap. I am not sure what you mean by Ts in the front but I don’t plan on using a switch so do I need those? Also what kind of regulator do I need and where do I hook it up? Could you send me a link for a regulator and some bulbs that would work? also if I don’t have a regulator, shouldn’t I still be getting volts to the socket? I just think it’s weird that I’m not getting a reading at all.

Alright so this evening I hooked up the meter and did not get any reading off of the sockets. I have attached a link showing my wiring. (White wire is with the yellow which is positive and black is negative.) I also tested bare wire up by the lights and didn’t get a reading either. (I tapped into the harness back by the kick.) I also asked the guy I bought it from and he said that there was no voltage regulator on it so do I need one of those? At this point do I need to start checking wires farther back? And what am I supposed to set my tester to so that I’m sure? https://imgur.com/gallery/smVNUr8

I would really like to do the LED lights but I am lost as to what to do to get them to work. I wired up both headlights to the stator but do I need a rectifier (DC current) to get them to work or will AC work? I am getting mixed responses when I research this.

Okay I will give it a shot. Will xenon lights work with the stock AC current or should I stick with stock bulbs without converting to DC?

I don’t believe he DC converted it which might be the problem. What should the voltage tester be reading on the socket? I’ve never done too much with stators so I’m still learning how it all works. Also, I don’t have the stock bulbs for it anymore so what could be the brightest/best ones I can get that will work with AC?

So I just recently bought a banshee but the headlights were the only things that was not set up. The guy had taken the toggle switch off and told me that he was having some problems with the led bulbs that he was putting in. One of them is very dim to the point where you can see a little light coming from the bulb and the other one on the left side doesn’t come on at all. I’m not sure if my wiring is incorrect, I need new bulbs, or a new stator.

How much do you think I would look at spending on a built bike compared to building one from scratch?

So currently I have an 08 Honda 700xx but I’m looking to add a banshee to the collection. However, I’m looking to make a project out of it and sort of build it from the ground up off of a roller that I found for $1000. Is there anything I need to know going into this? How difficult will it be putting everything together? I’m looking to call it the COVID-19 project bike so I’ll probably work on putting it together and sourcing the parts over the next several months. Any manuals, tips, parts list, etc etc. Would be extremely helpful since I’m just now getting me feet wet with the banshees! Thank ya! Connor
