So is the pickup setting supposed to be .20 or .020?? I just used a standard flat feeler gauge that said 2 on it.....

I took my emergency brake off, I put new 30mm Carbs on, put in a Ricky Stator Timing plate set to +4 degees, set the pickup to .20 and put a twist throttle on also. I just unplugged all the TORS stuff that went to the stock E-Brake perch and thumb throttle and I unplugged the 3 prong connector to what I believe is the TORS box. When I am kicking it over I'm getting no spark to jump the gap?? Any Idea's Thanks a bunch for any help...

Toomey T-6's, 30mm carbs, V-Force 2's, bought the superstock porting templates from race logic, Ricky Stator timing plate starting at about 4 degree's advance, Noss head. Want a reliable, 1st kick duner with some healthy punch. I've seen people write about T-6's being decent with a stock motor, will I be close enough to stock? Hate to shell the dollars for new pipes unless the difference is really dramatic.

Don't tell me that the billet water pump impeller I just paid for was a waste of money I am also relocating the reservoir....

Putting a new perch on there so that stuff is already unplugged

Actually I am getting rid of the parking brake crap and the thumb throttle at the same time as removing the carbs and TORS. Do I still need to unplug anything that wasn't unplugged when removing all that stuff?

I am putting new carbs on the Shee and removing the parking brake crap at the same time. Question is do I just unplug all the TORS and parking brake stuff and leave the empty plugs there. I searched far and wide and couldn't find an answer here hoping someone might be able to help. Anybody ever follow the TORS wiring to it's conclusion and remove everything, or most people just tape off the empty plugs that are left? Anything else I might need a heads up about?? Thanks!!

Need some help on getting new carbs for my Shee. 2002 Shee with Toomey T6's, Vforce 2 setup and mild porting. This bike is strictly a duner, but I want to keep some low end while improving on overall power. Saw a set of 30mm D slides on Ebay I was interested in, but see a bunch of 34mm on their to so what's everyones take on carb size?

Don't you get dizzy after a while

LMFAO!!!

Actually for most of this post I agree with you. Don't agree with the part about "back off the throttle for a moment when your thumb cramps up" though, because most of the serious racer's I've come across ditch the thumb throttle in favor of the twist throttle but that's just me. The comments I took issue with were "your only at 60% if you wanna keep up with anyone in a race" and "anyone that thinks they ride trail at a speed that would be competitive in race conditions are kidding themselves." When I trained for racing I did it at race speed, period. True every once in a while you have to push things to and past the edge, but I practiced at race speed so it was something I was comfortable and familiar with come race time. I think you'll find most pro racers practice at race pace. Again though I agree that race conditions are just about impossible to duplicate. Who said anything ahbout impressing anybody anywhere . I told you my racing background so that you would at least have an idea of my experience level which is why I asked what your experience was.

Actually I do, but they are on my home PC and I'll need to hunt for them. Basically looks like a stock 250r with a bigger jug and an extended swingarm. Used the stock 250r frame and fabricated custom mounts for the 500 engine. Actually use the stock rear fender, so you need to take it off to kick start it. Engine and pipe was built by an company called JT Racing who back in the 80's built the fastest odyssey's in the country including a car powered by a 500r cylinder that had a tunable while driving fuel injection system. Don't think that they are still in business, but they also were known as Dirt Werks back in the day and you can read about some of their stuff in the very first issues of Dirt Wheels and 3&4 Wheel Action magazines. I know I'm dating myself here

I can ride trail at race speed and I don't think I'm kidding anybody including myself. If I choose to "go for it" on a trail I am doing it at my "race speed". Faster than some, slower than others. Trail speed and race speed is totally dependant on rider ability and if you think any differently you are kidding yourself. I can promise you that Ricky Carmichael or Doug Gust riding "fast trails" will smoke 99% of the people out there in any race. For the record I have raced at the highest levels on ATV's including stadium racing back in the day. How about you?

That is frieking sick dude Don't recall ever seeing a 2 stroke with a turbo other than an old Detroit Diesel. Would love to hear a turbo Banshee though, talk about howlin at the moon

We'll be there along with some of the fastest Banshee's in the land. Memorial Day at Sand Mountain Nv is always a blast!
