Thanks everyone! I sent out everyone's discs that had replied prior to today so I'll reply to your emails to confirm. I still have a lot of discs left so let me know. I'll be making another trip to the post office later this week. Tate

Any last minute orders for today's mail run?

Yep that's exactly what I'm doing and that was actually a question about the blaster carb. I got her started yesterday and she sound really good. Just did one heat cycle yesterday and probably 3 more today. I still have quite a few things to finish up on it like brakes and axle etc. but getting close!!

I do see all of your replies and payments coming through I'm just not replying to all of them right away. I will be shipping them all out on monday though and then I'll reply to your paypal emails. Thanks everyone! Tate

Alright with a fresh mind this morning I figured it out... yep it was the needle valve... had some dirt in it... doh.

Alright guys quick question because I'm having a brain fart... I have a carb that is leaking from where I circled it in the picture below. I think this must have to do with float height or a bad needle valve but I've never noticed a carb leaking from here when either of those are faulty, just through the overflow outlet... I'm I thinking correctly or does anyone know of any other reason why it would be pissing out of there? Oh and ignore the dirt, this is a pic of a spare carb...

Got it thanks man. I'll get it sent right out. Tate

BUMP!! Any more orders? Get them in as soon as you can so I can hopefully only make one trip to the post office!! :biggrin: I'm making a big batch this weekend and shipping on Monday! FREE SHIPPING! Just a straight up $20 bone. Thanks all!

Hey guys, Yes I will ship to Canada and no extra for shipping just the $20. and that's it. :thumbsup:

Yeah it will stumble the motor not increase. Keep trying you'll get to the bottom of it...

Oh and take it easy, stay calm, and be patient... :beer: These bikes can sometimes be frustrating but there IS a solution...and you WILL find it...and once you do, the Banshee will knock your socks off buddy! Then you'll never turn back! Tate

There's a how to just at the top of this forum pinned but basically go to a hardware store and get 4 rubber stoppers to plug each intake (with carbs off) and each exhaust (pipes off). You'll drill through one of the plugs and insert a pressure guage that can read 6psi and then drill through another plug so you can insert a hand pump of some sort and a valve. basically you pump 6 psi into the motor and it should hold it for a min. of 6 min. if it doesn't, you have a leak

After reading all of this there are two things that tend to stand out in my mind right off the bat... you said your slides are in the right way but please double check this because they are VERY easy to put in wrong and think you are correct... There's two ways to make sure, 1. on the RIGHT side of each carb there is a tiny window, push the throttle untill you see a ping mark appear in the window, if you don't see one they are wrong. 2. pull the airbox and look into the intake side of the carbs, there should be an angled edge showing toward the rear of the slides, if it is just a straight cut bottom edge of the slide they are in wrong. Having slides in backwards makes it REALLY hard to start and then run like shit. If this is all correct then my other thought like others have said, do a leakdown test OR if you can get it to run at a decent steady RPM, go around the motor, intake boots, cylinder base, etc. with a can of carb cleaner and as you spray these areas listen for the motor to hesitate or drop RPM's then you will have found your air leak. Otherwise you'll need to build a leakdown tester. Tate

Damn, that sucks... That's alright I got some coming from another member on here now so all's good. Thanks anyway

PM sent

Alright guys I

Cool thanks guys, I'll hit them up and see. Kinda broke right now so it might be a while unless they feel like donating...

Anyone making or have a big HQ sticker I can get? I will put it on the ramp door of my enclosed trailer... Something like 4 feet long or so? Tate

I'll powder coat in trade with you or possibly pay cash, PM me if interested. Tate

No you probably don't want to do that, your bowls could just keep overfilling and cause other issues. Your float valve needles are probably bad or stuck. First try tapping the sides of your bowls with the back end of a screwdriver if it doesn't stop, get yourself a carb rebuild kit. The kit will come with a new float valve needle and it will seal. Also like mentioned before it could be your float level too so check that as well.

You got that right. Well I'll think about it and post up what I think about them if I decide to go with them.

yeah that's kind of why I wondered because I never saw any other posts from the guy... not sure

I'm still thinking about it but I might try them. I've never run anything but wisecos and never had a problem with them. Yeah it doesn't get ridden quite as hard as mine but my friends and I rip it up once in a while...

Great guy to deal with! Excellent communicator!! Thanks for the business man!!

Did anyone ever try any of these pistons out? Curious because I'm about to redo the top end of my wife's banshee on a budget and they have these listed on ebay for $108... :cool:
