My bad, I actually meant to say IDLE SCREW... Sorry... So are the idle screws standard? Because once removed, you can see where the guy grinded down the opening... And almost every nut, bolt, and screw on this Banshee are hammered... The guy who owned this before must have known nothing about maintenance...

Well I got into the carbs again today to start dialing in the jetting, and the nut on the airscrew is stripped, so I can't adjust how many turns out!!! He has the twist throttle kit on it, so I think the airscrews are aftermarket, right? So where do I get new ones, or should I just roll the friggin thing out of my garage on trash day... Sorry dealing with someone elses crap always makes me tense... Also I really need to thank you guys for all your help and information, bansheehq.com really does kick ass... If only there was a comparable site for CR500's, all the ones out there I have seen are pretty lame...

You will definitely lose... Sorry, but the 450 is pretty damn fast, even the 426 almost keeps up with my 2001 CR500...

What are the stock pilots on a 2004?

Right now it doesn't idle welll, has off idle bog, and is basically just a pain in the a$$... I don't know too much about about Banshees being a two wheeler, but he figures since I can wrench on my 500, I can fix all his problems with no info... And I don't really feel like tearing his motor down to find out what all has been done (even though I probably end up doing that). I just wanted to try and get a good baseline on the jetting to start tweaking from...

Need a good baseline for rejetting my buddys Banshee. As far as I know it is stock bore (friend just bought the thing and knows nothing about it...), stock reeds, but has FMF's with PowerCore II silencers, no snorkel, no air box lid, and a K&N with dust boot. It is running b8es plugs, and currently has 310 mains, 40 pilots, and middle clip... Now does this sound right for 0-2000 So Cal elevations? Or would it be better to be running more like 340 mains, and 30 pilots, and middle clip? Any help would be appreciated, I wanna try and go get the jets today... Thanks, -Brad-
