[building a trail/sand motor.... need help]

First off..... If your floats are set too high, what symptoms are you gonna see? Cause right now it takes about 10 kicks, then it fires right up. Once it starts and warms up it'll start real easy (one kick, no throttle) BUT if I wait 30 minutes or so, same thing, 10 kicks to fire. ADDITIONALLY there is a lot of black soot/oily shit dripping from the exhaust pipes. This all started happening after swapping the float bowls to the CORRECT carbs, and also the slides. Which nmeans they were both in there 180* backwards. A buddy of mine said I probably accidentally bent the float arms when I had the carbs off. This makes it fill up too much and leak fuel into the cylinder and those first 10 kicks are just to get the excess fuel out and the oily black soot is it all getting burned up in the exhaust. Also now when I'm riding and after a run thru the gears or powerband it'll sputter on the way back down to idle.... Which tells me jetting or just too much fuel (rich). What do yall think.

 

Now to the fun stuff.... I'm trying to spend my tax return before I get it.... I wanna go with a stage 2 port either by herr jugs or FAST. Right now I have delta 2's and fmf fattys. .020 over. Hot rods crank with about 20 hrs on it. I have a cool head and 20 cc domes thatll go in it too. The thing I'm having problems with is what carb set-up to go with. I'm thinking 28mil flatside mikunis with billett intakes. But I've heard 33/34 keihins. From past exp I like keihins better. That being said I think they'll be too big for the port job I want (which would be stage 2 (herr or FAST). I really just want an easy to start reliable bike making about 50-60 hp. Any help would be good. I'm willing to spend 1-1.5K on the motor.... Carbs, intakes, port job, timing plate (???) MAYBE a set of T-5's..... Just like the sound.... Powder coated black FMF fattys need to go....

 

 

What youll probily want is a set of 32mm pwk's with a boss intake and some v force reeds a dune/play port from fast with your cool head and some t5 pipes and youll be set. as far as the bad startind/running always start with the plugs (seams like its always the simple things) your probily to rich to. when its parked not running do you smell fuel? thats with the petcock on. if so that night be you have float issues, but proper jetting will make a diffrance in starting. hope i helped

I dont really want to but i think im going to sell my banshee. its a 1996 banshee, resent rebuild .30 over, it has 35mm pwk's knock off k&n pods boss intakie, boisen reeds, fmf fattys and only year old sliencers. its got pro taper bars and a twist throttle. cut front and rear fenders. stanless steel +2 axle its got the chevy elmblem cut into stanless for the grill. it runs pretty good i just put a transmission in it a year ago. 15/41 gears it gets up and moves still and pretty fast. it does need a seat cover. i want to sell it so i can get a dirt bike. i love my banshee but i have more fun on a dirt bike. i may change my mind still. i would be interested in a trade for a dirt bike or a car/pickup, let me know what you got.

 

$2200.00

[exhaust burnin air filters]

I zip tie my filters together and they clear my CPIs x2

cheap easy fix

I guess i dont understand how you zip tie k&n filters? they are melting from touching them and smashing a good set of filters just dont make sense to me.

 

 

You don't have to spend $50 bucks on header wrap. I wrapped exhaust heat shield around my stingers. It works great and only costs $10 bucks a sheet. You will only need one sheet to effectively wrap both stingers if need be. I personally wouldn't zip tie my filters together. I would think that would add stress to the boots and eventually cause them to crack. Thats just my opinion though. How are you burning plug wires?

I burn spark plug wires on my pickup alot thats why i was gonna get the header wrap, and just cut off a chunk for my banshee. but rocky mountain sells heat shield, i don't know if that would work it might melt the glue if i stick it on my stingers?

[need help with next mods.]

Also if you wanna go faster try light weight parts like aluminum stuff, and traction, tires and sprockets, just junk that will make a little bit of a difference.

[need help with next mods.]

ok thanks chevshee i think im going to have to get one now... the more spool .. the faster the bike goes no???

it lets the motor rev faster, I think. i have never had one or messed with one but from my understanding thats what it does. i think its more of a trail thing.

 

Chevshee

[need help with next mods.]

hey thanks man .. im going to get rid of the stock duels and probably hit some 34s. and would like to get a 4mill crank .. whats the price look like for that?? and what does the lighten flywheel do?? thanks

 

Lightened flywheel lets the motor spool up quicker and all that junk.

 

Chevshee

 

oh and i payed $300 for my carb's throttle cable and jets, 25 for air filters, 125 for the boss intake.

[need help with next mods.]

I would grab a boss intake and a set of 35mm pwk's, that will get you some more air. thro on some k&n pods to, just watch out they might melt.

do that and run the fancy spark plugs.

 

chevshee

 

p.s dont for get the boost bottle.

[exhaust burnin air filters]

I think I'm gonna buy some of that header wrap, wrap my headers and do my banshee exhaust. its 50 bucks a roll at shucks but its worth not having to buy air filters and spark plug wires every other ride haha.

 

Chevshee

[exhaust burnin air filters]

So what could i put on my exhaust pipes to keep my air filters from melting?

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks

[throttle cable]

i have a motion pro "turbo" twist throttle and 35mm pwks, i use a terrycable cable

don't know if it helps

I think that will help, alot. but if anyone has any ideas let me know.

thanks

 

Chevshee

[throttle cable]

Sup,

can someone find me someone who makes a throttle cable for dule keihin pwk's and a twist throttle? It's a YZ style twist throttle if that helps. i cant find one.

 

thanks

[aftermarket heads]

Any head the uses a prodesign dome, like noss head. i think anything under a 19 or 20mm head you want to run a high octane fuel. it depends on your starting compression. Im not sure about the horse power gain but i think its between 0 and 10. :shrug:

[shift star]

A shift star would be pretty simple to do if you have some simple hand tools and a 32mm socket for the clutch. All you need to do is drain your fluids and take off the clutch cover. then take off the clutch. be sure to remember how it came apart, in the proper order. take out the kick start gear and the shift shaft. then you'll be able to see the shift star, take out the old one give it to me, and put in your new one. reassemble and have fun.

I think cascade makes a pretty good one, I don't know for sure tho.

[Is this fast for a banshee?]

my buddies got a banshee and he was racing his friend on grass and his friend has a honda cr450f dirtbike and they were neck and neck the whole way, the shee would win a few and the dirtbike would win a few, both are good riders and the banshee rider weighs at least 250lb, i havent seen many atv vs dirtbike drags but i know for a fact a few dirtbikes i had would smoke one but this 1 must be pretty quick, any thoughts?

I have a friend with a 2003 yz250, not stock buy any means. i think it had v-forse 3 reeds, jetted, fmf gnarly pipe and silencer, and maybe a K&N filter. 4 out of 4 times i won. he got me off the start but i would walk buy him. and it was about the speed of a walk difference. i know my banshee goes pretty fast but i don't know compared to like a 450 or 700.

I would say that's pretty good tho.

[best boost bottle if any?]

Red is boost bottle and blue is stock.

[terrible machineing]

What I was sayin, it sounds to me like the machine shop is tryin to cover up they're fuckup. That's why I said to mic the pistons. To show the shop that they ain't different sizes.

 

What size were the old pistons/bore? Was there a lip on the top of either cylinder wall?

 

Ok ya that makes sense. ya thats what i wood do, that wood fuck them if they wear the same and the bore was different.

 

 

Chevshee

[terrible machineing]

i think hes talking about the shop said that the pistons he ordered are different sizes correct?

 

souds like he said that the cyis. wear bored too different sizes. i just want to know how hat happens? some one in that shop that did your cylinders is retarded.

[The Banshee is running but!]

If it constantly burs a lot of oil on the right side and you foul plugs on the right side your crank seal might be leaking or your cases may not have sealed. your jetting sounds rich try dropping the pilot down a size or to. start at 1 turn out on the air skrus.

 

hope i helped

[Pinging noise from engine]

That's the weirdies thing i have ever heard of, I wood do like dsmrx7 said and check your bearing. Dose it look like that right cyl burns oil or something? and dose you oil level go down in your trans after a ride?
