  1. That thing sitting on your head in your sig is what got things all jumbled up from the dog chas'in it onto my bench. I was in the process of putting a rebuild kit in it and left for a few and when I came back,Everything was a mess. That's when I had to sit down and think about it and I remembered this site! Thanks for the help.
  2. More pics
  3. Here ya go!
  4. What is the diff between the 2?
  5. Need to know if it makes a difference which bowl goes on which carb
  6. You are absolutely right and that is what I did ! I had it bored .20 over and put a Wiesco topend kit in it. I just finished up this evening with the breakin and it runs great! my son has been riding it for several years without any problems and he finally wore it out. When I purchased it new in December of "03",I broke it in just like the manual said to do and I think thats why I had to rebuild the topend. I know that we did not have 75 hrs on it! When I tore it down and took it to my trusty guy,he said other than the ring gap and the wear on the bore that I should continue to do what I have been doing as far as the maintenance of the motor.You could still see the crosshatch in both jugs!
  7. Ok I did a search and found out about the leakdown test and the tester that a guy sells. After reading some info on the leakdown test I think the crank seals are fine. I also used a craftsman compression gauge tonight to make sure that the other guage I used last night was ok and I got the same results as before. So I tore it down and I was really suprised to see no broken rings or any scoring on the piston or cylinder! Everything just looked like normal wear.There was no carbon buildup on the head and very little on the top of both pistons. So now my ? is should I go back with OEM or go with aftermarket such as Wiesco,etc etc, Any feedback would be great, Oh I do want to keep the motor pretty much stock as it is my young son's quad and it runs very well for him !
  8. Ok I did a compression check when the motor was cold and held the throttle wide open. each cylinder was 90 psi Took it out and rode it and it ran fine until it really got warmed up then the left side missing again,but not all the time. Checked the compression again and the right was 90 and the left was 85. Now my ? is how do you do a leak down test?
  9. ok, thanks for all the replys. Now just 3 more ? What is the compression supposed to be for stock cylinders ? I assume the motor should be cold and do I hold the throttle Wide open when testing? How many times on the kickstarter to make sure it has built up the compression?
  10. Ok, Here is my list "04" stock motor stock carbs 270 mains,25's pilots,1 1/2 turns out on the air screws. tusk inline fuel filter tr6's tors removed for motion pro twist install Pro design filter with 12 vents in the box. Yamalube 2r at 36:1 ngk br8es The thing has run great for over 2 1/2 years since I've had it and yesterday it started missing and running on one cylinder at times.So I put a new set of plugs in it and still the same thing.The old plugs still looked real good and clean.{determined that it was the left cylinder} I thought maybe I had a reed problem so I pulled the carb and the reed cage and inspected. Nothing wrong that I could visibly see and the reeds did not seem to be broke or damaged! Put it back together and started it up.It ildled fine.Took it out and rode it and after it was warmed up it would not fire until I got half way into the throttle and then it would hit and pull like normal. So I switched the plug wires,left to right and right to left,same thing as before! So I then left the rightside plug wire on the left cylinder and tried to start it,but no go. I then put the left plug wire on the rightside plug and it fired and ran on the right cylinder only. I decided to pull the left carb and tear it down and clean all the passageways and everything looked good.I used carb cleaner and compress air.I also took off all the plastic and tank so that I could check all of the wiring harnesses and connectors and did not find any problems at all. I have not run yet since I checked the carb as it was to late tonight without pissing off the wife and neighbors.The way it acts to me it's electrical and not a fuel delivery problem but I'm stumped! Could it possibly be the coil starting to go bad. Sorry for the long post ,but I wanted to give as much detail as possible.
  11. This is exactly how i wired my sons shee and have not had any probs since.try it like dirtplay says.
  12. If your looking for more "bottom end torque" I personally would NOT recommend lightening the flywheel. Coolhead w/domes, timing plate +4, v-force reeds, Play port will all help the torque and fun factor!!! -------------------- F.A.S.T. Jeff Thanks fastoys and loco.I pretty much new that lighting the flywheel was a no no for me! Where do I find out more about this guy eric gorr----loco? and this playport ----Jeff?
  13. Hey guys, Thanks for the info and I will deff look into all your suggestions! I realize that banshees are not really low end motors,but I do know that there were some ways to gain a little more. It's actually my sons and he absolutely loves it.But He wanted to know if we could get some more off the bottom and I told him that I would research,hence joining this great site for info! As far as a stroker,Here's what I ride.I've got all the bottom end I need!
  14. Hey fellas, Motor will stay stock regardless,So here's my? With the TR-6 pipes and airbox mod and lower gearing, What, if any other mods can I use to give me more low end? 1. single carb-what size,brand 2.different reeds & spacers-what brand 3.how about the ignition-don't know much about the keys and plates. Any help or suggestions would be great!
  15. Just wanted to say hey, and I think I will find alot of useful info here!
