Hey all, My 03 banshee with FMF pipes and PC2 silencers, uni filter, boyesene reeds etc had a little issue this past weekend. I was at around 3500 feet in elevation and its pretty much jetted correctly for that elevation and I had an off idle/low speed bog and it ran ok at higher rpm's and sometimes at idle it would shut off on its own. I drove for a few K like this and then found my left side carb top (TORS) loose. I tightened it and it ran better at low/off idle but still would occasionally die at idle. I rechecked the top and it was still tight. So when I got home I removed the carb and the area under the carb top where you would remove the needle (top of slide) was really dirty..sucked in mud/water I guess. Inside the carb passage above the bowl had some dirt as well but it may have gottn there as I was removing the carb. I also noticed the gasket that sits between the carb and the carb top is not attached to the carb top anymore. I pulled the reed and it was ok. I also noticed that I had gas/a clean area on the carb at bowl height just before the intake boot and that intake clamp wasn't completely tight. As for exhaust, more oil out the Right side than the left. So I was running leaner on left than right
So, what do u guys think, just a dirty carb from the loose carb top, gasket maybe not in place properly, loose carb to intake clamp or something else.
This should have nothing to do with it but, Both float height need adjustment or needle/valve changed--This is getting fixed this week as well

Let me know what u think.
