SWEEEEETTT thanks

I tried 6 psi and it held with no fluctuation for 2 hours after about 3 1\2 hours it dropped about a needle width.I have sprayed the entire engine with soapy water and found no leaks even the flywheel side crank seal. Am I in the clear????

Keep in mind that if you have the pressure on one side and the gauge on the other, you have a leak in your crank seal between the cylinders and the crank will need to come out

intake gaskets are sealed tight,and carb boots are brand new and checked both of these areas with carb cleaner(using the thin straw) and both seem to be sealed up Thanks holyman i'll look forward to hearing from you btw how much air pressure i dont want to create any more problems???

I've been having some troubles after putting a cub motor together,thanks to everyone for any help the've given me along the way. Anyways i put new base gaskets on yesterday(used a thin coat of yamabond 4 on base of cylinder and top of case) and let it setup over night .I get up this morning go out bike fires up 2 kicks seems to sound better so i thought i had my air leak solved. So i spray some carb cleaner down under the carbs on top of the case and it died I am ready to give up so if anyone could lead me in the right direction i would sure appriciate it

Thanks i look forward o speaking with him

we were in the middle of swapping intakes and last thing i heard from him is that he had shipped my intake and now its like hes gone havent been able to get a hold of him for 2 1/2 weeks tried calling pm's(seemed like a decent guy worked through an issue) where are ya charlie????

for sure a good mod quick turn around ,day he gets your flywheel he does it and gets it out the next day and he does a nice job unbelievable how much material is taken off

late 80's early 90's not for sure could give you the vin#, i live in arizona

the gsr engine is mising the turbo but is complete with computer and all,you would have to build an exhaust for it but putting it in a quad or single seat rail would require that anyway,the 900 is huge and almost all of the wiring is there if anyone is interested i can take pics and get info for these engines i dont know what to ask for these so any resonable offer will be considered-i dont know about shipping ? maybe a crate on a common courier???????? trades can also be considered

they dont have any in stock,not a yamaha town my stealership also deals with harley if i needed anything for my fat boy it would be there but a banshee 7-10 days. plus my gaskets were custom cut for my drag porting.

ok i tightened the cylinder base nuts and the engine no longer dies,but it does loose enough rpms to notice when spraying carb cleaner around the base of the cylinder ,so i did some plug chops w/ a 165 main i'm starting to get just a little color on the bottom of the porcalin,my shop in town did not have a 170 so i had to get some 180's not much of a difference on plug color! i guess this weekend im going to take the cylinder off and put some gasket sealer on both sides of the cylinder base gasket any objections to that????/

3000 ft elevation,no reed spacer its a mono block intake i've had it apart o-ring in good shape and gaskets are all new,i guess i just need to tighten the cylinder base nuts down and see if that helps,its just pissin me off i havent really ridden my bike in 3 months i'm goin on a month havin this engine together and cannot find this leak,had carbs off several times intake,and carb boots but not fixed yet wesw ive got whatever air strykers come with for needles on third clip haven't moved those yet,165 mains and down to 42 pilot,when i start my bike i do not need any choke fires up first kick,so i pretty sure i need to lean the pilot some more it just sounds really low to me from seeing some of your jetting,but i guess every bike is different i'm about ready to drive 100 miles and have someone do it for me,but i always seem to get screwed into something i dont need and could have done my self!!!!

yeah i re-tightened them the cub cylinder gives you no room to re-tourque using a tourque wrench so i did the best i could.

i just put a 4 mil cub together w/noss head custom 21 cc domes,v-force 3 the cub has been drag ported,35mm air strykers with a boss intake,for some reason it kept missing on the left side at idle,you could see r/s silencer smokin and l/s only once in a while untill you rev up the engine,i cant seem to have any luck with the jetting yet still working on that ive put a 42 pilot in the l/s plug is wet but you can still see the white color on the porcalin of the spark plug,r/s plug is dark black almost like fouled but still is working,swapped plugs after a few revs then let it idle plugs come with same read,tried new plugs same! if you spray carb cleaner near intake the bike just dies,took of intake and cleaned gaskets and re installed ,a little better but plugs still look the same,so i swapped carbs and now both sides run equal is that WIERD or is it just me i would think the r/s would or should have a problem now. i want to get this thing jetted right but dont want to blow it up(too lean)i just put a 165 main in the carbs and did a plug chop you can feel the engine is real hot and not just the porcalin but the top area around the plug where the threads stop is white do you think i still have an air leak if you spray cleaner near base of cylinder/bottom of intake still dies if it were an air leak shouldn't the engine rev???..........please help!!!!!

live in kingman work in bullhead city and lake havasu couple times a week it damb hot out side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope you have a lot of experience wrenching,i have had about 5 vw sandrails 16oo single port to 2500 fuel injected and your always wrenching on something whether its carb(s),spark plugs,coils,generator,alternator or just plain oil leaks(vw mark thier spot) i have had more fun AT THE DUNES on a quad than ever in a vw powered rail,but good luck to you maybe you'll get a decent one that you can have fun in

sign up at planet sand,i dont think theres an entry fee for the race,but it is $20 at the dunes or $60 for a season pass,last year they gave away trophies but you can ask the guys at planetsand for details......adam

i am pretty sure that banshee wars is a yearly thing,i went last year (by accident happened to be there) i didn't have a banshee at the time i was stuck on a 250r,but it was an awsome event.i am pretty new to the hq and planetsand but i met some interesting people last year that were suprisingly cool at the event and am planning on going again this year with about 15-20 people (only 6 banshees but we'll make a nice weekend out of it!!! )
