Stock carbs will work fine with jetting...

I agree... Why?

Heli-coil

I think he is to lazy to push the "cap lock" button.....

Yep...

Try unhooking the slides from the cables and see if they go all the way down, let us know.

Sounds like a bad lock-up torque converter to me

Sounds like the wrong slide in the wrong carb, there is a right and left slide.

I didn't think Vito's had 69 mm forged pistons, quess I was right.

fastbanshee4u, Can you please give me the part number for the Vito's 69 mm forged piston, please? Thank you, Ron

The Air Striker will be a little more forgiving in the jetting department. You will get a little better throttle response (throttle control) at lower throttle settings. The Air Striker also works better in jumping and very rough riding (bouncing around conditions) conditions.

I may be wrong but I don't think any one sells 69 mm "forged" pistons for the Banshee.

Plug the hoses back on to the carbs..... put gas in tank..... turn it to on

I really don't think is cost effective to rebuild either a stock crank or aftermarket cranks (exceptions would be a billet crank like twister). Any time you install a crank into a Banshee, it is a very good idea to have it welded, especially if you have or plan to have mods. The after market cranks like Vito's and Wiseco need the pins welded on both ends. The stock Banshee cranks only need to be welded on the out side halves. I don't feel it's a good idea to rebuild a welded crank with the exception of the billet crank, as cutting the welds and pressing them a part degrades the stock and Wiseco cast steel parts. Ron

How fast do you think an "Old 80" should be?

Yep, I'd say it's the clutch slipping too...

I would go with the 110 leaded fuel any day

Ps. Did your carbs fit the manifolds snuggly? Ron

If your carbs are genuine Keihin PWK 28 carbs they will have a brass hose fitting on the top of the spigot next to the choke assy. as seen in the attached pic. The genuine Keihin PWK's also fit a little lose in the stock manifolds and the stock clamps don't always tighten enough the seal the carbs (air leak). If your carb are PWK copies they may not have the little brass tube and I don't know about the fit on them either. Ron

BayBanshee ] Are you using the stock intake manifolds? Also, you did plug the fitting on the carb next the the intake boots didn't you? Or at least put a hose from one carb to the other.

Piston porting will work with other mods, like head work, pipes higher flow air filters and cylinder porting. You will not notice much with a bone stock set up bike. The ported pistons help the flow through an engine, but first you have to have a good way to get the flow in and then out again. Ron

Two Strokes love leaded fuel... And run great with it.

Yes I do Banshee pistons all the time and it works good. I would only recommend doing it to Wiseco pistons.
