tooomeys need stock pilot 280 main 3rd clip, go from there. i am in Kanasas city running 260's 2nd clip, boost bottle, pro circuit pipes, kn, 4+ timing, reed spacers, carbon fiber reeds and i am rich.

go to stock pilots see if it is better if not lower main

try 280 mains if your bore and cylinders are stock

Well i got to little sahara on saturday and the shee was running like shit, shooting flames and poping out of the exhaust. I was thinking about driving it off a cliff and then it started pouring rain. We got back to the house we rented and i was taking it apart and this guy comes over and says his buddy that is staying next door is a banshee mechanic. Turns out he is friends with toomey and has been building them since 89. He took my carbs apart 4-5 times and dialed it in perfectly. The final settings were stock 25 pilot, 260 mains, needle second notch from the top. So whoever told me to start at 320's you need to make sure your settings are right because i was blowing gas out my cylenders around my pipes after i got it dialed in right. He said his ported and bored 98' runs on 300 mains and thats in texas same elevation as me 500-1000'. He also told me never to mess with the pilots on a banshee only the needle height once the mains are close.

OK i got the mains perfect, 280's the bastard with pull em up in 5th now on the highway. did a plug chop looks dead on. Now it wont idle and backfires at low rpms, i am still running the 30 pilot should i drop to a 27.5? do you all think this will get rid of this shit, the airscrews didnt help either way no change. I am happy though it runs like a striped ape other than the idle.

well i was about to stay at home this weekend instead of going to waynoka with my friends because i was so pissed at the thing. Then i decided to give it once last once over, i took the tops off the carbs and realized the slides were in the wrong carbs......i moved the needle back to the 3rd groove, kicked it over and it started idling high and sputtering like before, i took it in the field and revved it to the moon hoping it would explode, and then the powerband hit and it was like it was before. i rode for 10 minutes , set the idle then rode it around a little more, i still have some low end bog in first and second before it hit the band, and second falls out of the band then back in, but the rest of the gears are solid. I am happy as hell thanks for the help to bad your advice didnt cover my stupidity. I am at 320's, 30's, 2 out, 3rd clip. I did another plug chop and its really dark black all over, and gas on the plugs. Tomorrow eve i will drop the mains to 300's and see how close it is, then mess with the air screws im done with the slides and needles those throttle cables are a pain in the ass HEre is advice for all, check or mark the slides before you take them out it runs like shit otherwise

Ok went back to the 320's and left the needles on the 4th notch, basically the same setup as i started with, by lowering the needles i should get more throttle response from idle right? Well its worse now, and the choke doesnt make any difference on or off ussually it wont hardly run with the choke on now it runs normal. Did i mess something up in there when i took it apart any suggestions?

airscrews 2 turns out, it was running ok with the 320 mains, stock position, 30 pilots . It just looked a little rich on the plug chop i prolly shouldnt have messed with it but i wanted to get it dead on, what if i go back to the 320's and just move to the 2nd notch.

hey all i ran 30 pilots and 320 mains, it was a little rich. i dropped to 300 mains and changed to the 4th cliip now it has major bog and feels like the motor is cold, from idle to top. did a plug chop and looks close chocolate brown color. whats do you suggest? feels ok once reved but at botom and top feels like the engine is cold/doggy. 2004 banshee reed spacers boydston pro carbon fiber reeds pro circuit pipes and silencers k and n filter box 3 1'" holes no snorkel 300 mains, 30 pilots, 4th clip boost bottle

I just ordered 280's, 300, 320, 340 and 27.5 and 30 pilots from magicracing.com finally found a good site and good prices, now what size should i start from ballpark figure i just dont wanna start at 340/30 if its gonna be 280/25 you know i dont wanna take the thing apart 80 times

Hey guys i ordered the pro circuit power kit from Moto-man.com it came with reeds, reed spacers platinum pipes, mains,boost bottle, and no directions. The mains were 260's and i figured that since its a kit they would be close. Anyway i rode all day saturday then was looking around here and the recommendations were anywhere from 280's-340's. Also where is a good place online to buy jets and pilot jets? No one carries the banshee pilots. 2004 banshee Pro circuit Platinum pipes 304 silencers boydston carbon fiber pro reeds reed spacers boost bottle k/n filter airbox snorkel removed and underside of snorkel area dremeled off, 3 1" holes at the rear of airbox lid 260 mains right now stock pilots havent even messed with the air fuel mixture screws or idle since it started and idled first kick after the install of all this crap. Thanks for the help in advance
