  1. A lot of the build can be done without being so technical but here's what you're looking for. **This taken from right here on the HQ Banshee service manual section 3-42 & 3-43 https://www.bansheehq.com/technical-information/
  2. Got a set of Driveline cases for my 611 DM build. Look to be good quality and for sure a far better alternative to welding and puttying up oem's.
  3. Registered user is 100% right. So many variables and a lot of testing that you'll need to do on your specific application. Number one, It will take a LOT more fuel to keep from burning it down. Guzzler, Opened vents, big bowls etc. Don't get greedy when your testing, Baby steps as you go - I use Digitrons and do plug reads to monitor my passes. ***Even so you'll likely eat a piston or two during your learning curve. As for plugs - Most Banshees running gas use BR8 NGK's - On alcohol BR9's which is a colder plug are pretty much the standard. I use bored 39 PWKS and 41 Pro's (both the same bore size) in my 1/4 mile asphalt motors. The mains and dump tubes are drilled to .120 plus they have power jets. Pilots are as small as I can get away with (50 or 52 I believe) If you go to small you'll get lean hangs at best and at worst it'll rev to the moon at startup. As posted earlier, Alcohol generally requires a different dome configuration and additional timing. Now let's throw a wrench in it all - My son (Banshee) and grandson (Apex) run 2 -300 ft dirt drags and the fuel requirements are very different. Smaller mains/dumps and very little or no power jets needed depending on distance and track bite. Oil - I used to run 32:1 Blendzall but switched to 927. You'll have to do your own research to verify your oil choice is methanol compatible. I think mixing at 20:1 is fine. On a side note. I live in the Northeast. I liked Klotz Super Techniplate in gas motors for years but it's hygroscopic and did ugly things to the inside of our alcohol motors even with very good purging practices. Hope this helps
  4. Yes,,, Since things are quiet here these days it doesn't matter that you're one of the original "old members". Your hiatus makes you fresh meat! lol - welcome
  5. All I've ever run are Keihins. I have bored 39's on my drag port 4mil
  6. I like B-12 but it is wicked, Especially if it splashes into the eyes... Ask me how I know lol. Don't use it to clean parts before welding on them either. Imo if you used it as a fuel additive to clean out the carbs it likely won't work. There aren't many pieces to the carbs so with a Clymer and a little mechanical aptitude you'll be fine digging into them yourself.
  7. My son has a heavily ported 421 serval with bored 39 Keihins and it's a gas hog. It's a bad ass runner but only gets 50 miles out of a tank.
  8. What exactly are you looking for? There's some useful information in these links: https://www.bansheehq.com/technical-information/
  9. I keep this in my shop to remind me that lean is mean. This damage was caused from light detonation that was felt right away and throttled out. In addition to what you see of this Hot Rod crank bearing a tiny sliver of the race found its way into the combustion chamber and torn up the piston, dome and nikasil.
  10. I do have a Pingle but I always removed the screen when I used them on my alcohol asphalt Banshee's. PM me if you're interested in it.
  11. Better get to the root of the detonation problem before you tear her up.
  12. I'm not pulling the one off of the tank but let me check to see if I have another.
  13. I pulled a good OEM tank with a dual Pingle off of my wifes Asphalt Banshee if you're looking to replace that Vito's.
  14. I've been told by two builders who make pipes not to cut the singers any shorter than 10"
  15. Agree X 3 At 125+ on asphalt OEM 's have always stopped me just fine. Spend your money on chassis or performance upgrades that will make a difference.
