Bansheerook

have an '03 banshee. Theres gas leaking out of the overflow while the engine is running. We think the float might be getting stuck. Anybody think we might be on the right track. When the engine is not running it still leaks. What do you guys think. Thanks for the help in advance. Later.

I have a few stories also. Heres the funniest...............now that its in the past. We were drinking at my house and decided to go to a town near by and hang out with some friends, and of course drink some more. We were already fucked up. But we showed up and continued drinking. ( i was only 17-18) My friend started passing around shots. I have a shit load of I don't know what. I don't whos house I we were at but here came the bong around the table. Fuck it. ( inhale) When we left I couldn't drive. My buddy said he could drive. He took my car and other friends lead the way back to my house. Not sure how it happened but my friend driving my car rear ended the friends we were following. No, no, they weren't stopped. Just cruising home and we got a little too close. Everyones Ok. We get to my house, I get out try to go to my back door and fall down. My dog jumps on me and delays the trip to my house by I don't know how long. My friends say they watched and laughed for a while. I wake up in my bed the next morning, not sure how I got there. My mom said she had to clean my puke up off me and the utility porch the next morning. Then she had to get me to bed before my little brother woke up and she had to explain what was wrong with me to him. Glad I've grown up. Got stuck in a farm field one time and a tractor that was plowing the field towed us out, and drank a couple of our beers with us. Just got caught up laughin and shit and drifted off the road into a farmers field. Thats right my name is lucky. Have a couple of bad stories to tell but I don't feel like depressing anyone. Later

Ok. I did do a plug chop at 270. Looks pretty close. 2mm. light choc. Didn't stall out in any gears. Felt pretty good about it. My buddy just got his Kawasaki 400 out after running Curtis Sparks pipes and a K&N. He wanted to drag me on dirt. Ha Ha Ha. Wasn't even close. I smoked him from start to finish I want to make sure I'm dead on with the jetting so I'll probably test it again. Thx for the help on this topic.

Ok, ty. I called and they're only around $20.00. Thx for the input.

Elevation is 500. I was going to go 2 sizes and then put the 30 pilot jet in like was suggested when I bought the set up. I probably need to let it go, what was suggested by fmf(260 mains and 30 pilots), but it keeps poppin in my head that I should try there recomended set up. Do I need to get that out of my head? How many sets of plugs am I going to use before I'm dialed in? Little frustrated. Thx for the replies.

Ok I piinned it in six gear and killed the sw, etc, etc. It looks like I have a rich reading. Clors right but I have soot marks and its about 4mm tall. The only thing I doidnt do is keep the throttle pinned after killing the engine. What effect would this have on the plug read? I think I'm going to go ahead and put hte 260's in. What do you think? Thx

Is this very hard? Am I just changing out the small sprocket?

Ok, I also heard a little rumor. Is it true that if I go with smaller tires I am going to have to regear? Tell me no please. If so, is it very hard?

LMFAO Alright then. This fuckin rain needs to stop. I'll get back and give my results when I get a chance to take it out.

Oh yeah. They are 19-10-9. Smaller tires better?

Did some research on and off for a couple of weeks on tires and just bought the itp mxr4's for 64.00 each. Heard they have a lot of bite during acceleration. Any body try them yet. Forgot to ask the pros here at HQ before spending the money. PS Stock dirt tires on the street. Blew a chunk out of one of the rears about an inch in dia. Oops, my bad.

Damn it. Thank You. I just read that on Jetting Faq too. Ok, Im going to buy new plugs and try it over again. Quick ? If FMF says I should staart with 260 mains and 30 pilots, would stock pilots and 280 mains be close or do the pilots control a different part of the jetting process. The reason I'm scared is because everyone says I should run jets that bog it down in higher gears and then drop main sizes from there. I didnt do that because I could only get 280s at the time. Now i'm close. If my next plug chop looks good should I still go up in mains and make sure it bogs at higher gears w/wot? I did get some 300 mains now. Or should I call it good and start riding like I stole it. Thx for all the help. I'll be posting a pic pretty soon. Shes starting to come along.

heres the plug

Ok. I got it into 6th with new plugs. I turned the air screws a half turn in so now their 1.5 turns out. It doesn't stall out at all in first anymore. I took the plugs off after getting it through all six gears w/WOT( all 6 felt good) and putting to my buddies house about .25 miles away. The plugs seem really dark brown. Really dark. My plug chop sucks ass. There is no silver in it I just didn't have a hacksaw and improvised. I will do the other plug after buying a HS if need be. The color goes all around the plug. Looks rich to me. I have 280 mains, stock 25 pilots and air screws 1.5 turns out. I'm tempted to put the 260 mains and 30 pilots ( like fmf recommended ) in to see what happens. What do you guys think? Thx. Attached image(s)
