Hilarious

I remember someone posting in a thread about a drag Tecate. I'm in no way tring to take over your thread but.......I remember on some forum, there was a guy that his screen name was asshole. He used to make threads about crazy shit like, rebuilding a handlebar pad or whatever. It had to be this website cause he made a thread one time about how to polish ur banshee axle by puttin a rubber band around the throttle and settin it up on a jack with it pinned in sixth gear. and then puttin some mother's to the axle then it took off into traffic and "flowered" the whole thing up. Someone here has to remember some stupid shit like that . Maybe its just me. 2 tall boy budlites back to back can do some stuff to jar one's memory.

I wouldnt run a damn thing but premix thru my banshee. If I wanted to clean the carburators, they can be removed with just a screwdriver. I wouldnt do it if I was you.

Moving the clip up results in the needle sitting lower in the needle jet, therfore leaning the needle circult. Moving the clip down results in the needle sitting higher in the needle jet, therfore richining the needle circuit. Sounds to me like you leaned the needle (midrange) circuit. Id say to ride it a little more, get a feel for it and check your plugs. Tell us what all mods you have done to your bike so we can make an assumption.

I ordered from magic racing. They have em for 4 bucks a piece.

The clip position on a stock banshee is in the 3rd slot on the needles. I believe the air screws were at (2) turns out on mine. I would check the sync on your carbs again and make sure the choke crossover tube is in place.

I love threads like this. How about the word shit? Well would you looky there.

What exactically do you mean by getting your head ported? I was under the impression that your cylinders are where the porting takes place. Do you mean shaving your head to increase compression? I don't believe you would need to change jetting for an increase in compression but, you would need to change jetting for port work due to the increase of fuel mixture in and exhaust out of the combustion chamber.

I'm hopin ol' Bush doesn't send rita over my house like he did with katrina.

Check this website out. HERE It has a complete detailed explanation of your carburators. The air screws are the small, flathead screws, on the left side of each carb closest to the air inlet on each carb. IF you do not have the TORS, I believe your idle screws will be located under the carb cap retention screw, the screw that holds a little bracket that keeps the carb cap from comming loose. Like I and others have said, If you have the TORS units still on your carbs, there will be a fairly large screw head on the tops of them. While you're at it, you should get some new spark plugs and some beers and do a plug chop after you get it running good.

Jesse Jackson, while visiting a primary school class, found himself in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the Rev. Jackson if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy." So the illustrious leader asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy." "No," says the Great Jesse Jackson, "that would be an accident." A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.""I'm afraid not," explains the exalted spiritual leader. "That's what we would call a great loss." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Rev. Jackson searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally at the back of the room a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says: "If a plane carrying the Rev. Jackson were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaims Jackson, "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says the boy, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either."

That doesn't work. You will usually wind up having one of your arms bigger than the other.

Getting your carbs in sync: if you still have the TORS units on top of your carbs you will have to adjust the two, big flathead screws on top of the TORS units. While doing this adjust one or the other until both carburator slides move up and down at the same time. If you have removed the TORS units, adjust your idle speed screws and check your slides. After getting the carbs in sync, you may have to re-adjust the idle setting. Make sure, when doing this, to make equal adjustments to each carb to keep them in sync. As for your bike being hard to start, you may have to install some larger pilot jets if you have not already and adjust your air screws. I believe a 25 is stock for pilot jets. I have 27.5's installed in mine and it usually starts within the first 3 or 4 kicks everytime whether it is warm or cold.

Like I typed in another thread somewhere's around here, you guys are hilarious. Oh and by the way, I shoot rubber chickens out of cannons into the winshields of airplanes. The pay isn't half bad.

The wrench I have is made by motion pro. I believe that it states in the clymer's manual that it is 50mm. I know I read it somewheres. I think I paid about 30 bucks for it. It was pricy but it sure made the nut removal and installation much easier. Actually its a package with (2) wrenches in it and they each have a small hole in them made to fit a 1/2" drive socket wrench or torque wrench.

While we are on the subject of carb settings with FMF fatties, I gotta ask you guys a question. Do ya'll have a flat spot? I've pretty much got my carbs dialed in and it runs great. Does not overheat or anything. Nice chocolate brown color on the plugs. But...i've got a flat spot. It happens at a certain RPM before the powerband and does not pertain to any certain throttle position. I have stock needles and it did this prior to installing the v-force 3 reed cages. I'm thinking its just the nature of the pipes. I've changed the needle clip position up and down and it runs the best in the stock (middle) position. It also has a pretty good, crisp off idle response. Other than that the thing really runs great and eats the fuel up like a mofo. One more thing, I just gotta say that the finish on the FMF's suck.

That's funny right there.

I dont know of any easy way to go about gettin those nuts off other that what I did. I broke down and bought that 50 mm wrench that is specifically made for takin those nuts off. And then beatin the crap outta it with a hammer.

I had my warrior goin 82 mph one time......... when it was in the back of my GMC......... I gotta admit though, the ole warrior sure works well to haul a case of beer around.

i believe the toomy 2:1 filter set up clamps directly to the carbs, therefore requiring removal of the airbox.

I am not running the airbox lid. If you run the lid, id start at a 300 main and work down. The engine breathes a lot better without the lid. Just be carefull runnin through puddles and shit. And also when washing your bike. I'd keep the lid and put it on when washing your bike. Id also suggest an outerwear if you dont have one.

I'm about 400 feets above sea level and I'm runnin: 330 mains, middle clip on needles and 27.5 pilots. But i'm also runnin v-force 3 reed cages and a K&N filter. Should be a good starting point for you though.

Two old ladies are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain. One of the old ladies pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking. Maude: What in the hell is that? Mabel: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet. Maude: Where did you get it? Mabel: You can get them at any drugstore. The next day, Maude hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what brand of condom she prefers. "Doesn't matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel."

Man, you guys are fucking hilarious.
