  1. I have a set as well if doobie doesnt work out. $75 shipped.
  2. Honestly, I have owned, tuned , or jacked with numerous sets of both and keihins on gas are easier. Lectrons need the needle adjusted which requires 3 screws to be removed which means you have to pull them from the intakes at least, then do the screws. I can do a mainjet swap in a few seconds on pwks , and needle selection is a snap with adjustments made pretty quick. I like either carb but I wouldnt pick one over the other based on how hard or easy it is to physically make the changes. If you have the wrong needles on lectrons you will be out 50 to 70 dollars easy and wait time would be a week. If you have the wrong keihin mainjets you can usually get them locally or do what I do and drill them if you need bigger.
  3. In my opinion I would chance putting it back together after a very good cleaning , and the few new parts you cn see it needs. The banshee transmission actually runs up off the bottom of the cases and has no pump or anything. It is also segregated from the crank, rods , pistons etc. unlike a 4 stroke. I only see about $60 or less in new parts needed.
  4. Make sure it is getting spark when it is in the "non running" condition. Coils can quit sparking after a while when they get warm. My guess at first was gascap vent and a fuel delivery problem.
  5. Mine is a wcr but he had horrible reviews lately. Id use someone else.
  6. Here is the link. It is very simple to do , costs nothing but a few minutes when you have the trans sitting in the case half. The key to the assembly is being able to turn the transmission backwards in every gear without binding. If you dont do it , then you basically dont have a duneable transmission. http://sandslingers.com/index.php?/topic/499-duneable-override-spring-explanation-and-adjustment/
  7. IMO if you balance the tension properly on the duneables where the sliders will freewheel properly you can get away with much more backloading without having fork wear or bending/breakage. I did some writeups but was too lazy to do it on here. It helps a bunch.
  8. I have brand new red and brand new white. $60 shipped for either one. They have been in a box together so might have tiny scuffs from being boxed but they are brand new meier brand.
  9. Wow. I had no idea about this jambo. I havent been to lake mac in years. Is there any normal yearly atv riding there too? It would be hard for me to make this one but wow would I like to. They need to shave a june jambo there too.
  10. Is the jetting spot on. IMO they should work unless jetting is off or bike has an ignition problem of some kind. What carbs and what jets?
  11. You could absolutely mount that fixed to the bike and check the true of an axle.
  12. Banshee. Lets do 175 for stator and cdi if you say they are good. Otherwise I will buy the cdi. I will take it. Pm or post paypal.
  13. 28s I have tuned on were in the 155 to 160 mainjet size but I would start bigger, maybe 162 or so they also sometimes need a needle change if they are rich off the bottom.
  14. Swap carbs. See what happens to check for carb prob. Swap plug wire sides to see if it switched the wet side. Since you checked reeds you then want to check piston condition, crank true etc.
  15. I would prefer to keep the old pistons as a spare and use new but have reused pistons after porting or cha ges to the motor many times. I have changed base gasket thickness as well as domes , changed porting and use the same pistons with no problems. The shape of the bore and the piston break in is important and using a broke in set of rings is safer with new porting than new ones if you ask me.
  16. The athena kit is not great at all as for lowend power. Most hate the athena kits and their spraypaint thin plating that doesnt last. I would put one on if I was dumping the bike.
  17. You should talk to tony and see what he says. He in the past had said on the bigger heavier pistons such as supercub, cheetah, and DM he would recommend the billet cranks over the forged ones due to the extra mass of the pistons.
  18. Get the right filters. The 35s are a much better carb for it IMO. If you need to you should be able to get filters thru a kart racing company. They usually have KN style filters to fit that size carb and you can get the proper angled ones.
  19. We have rode with 5 outta 6 plenty of times just to get by for a dune ride. Seen it done on banshees many times and raptor 700s twice. Use a small amount of blue loctite if you want and dont overtighten next time.
  20. Keep em for a playbike. They make good power until the cyls are drag ported then cpi or shearers are better. They look like powerpros to me too and I used to have a set on a 370 I liked.
  21. Why in the world would you post anything bad about the guy when he did everything he could to make good by you including giving you another set of cyls? This whole thread is ridiculous. " IM NOT BASHING FLOTEK ....BUT i really am." Even when he took care of me. If you had let him fix the cylinder and then posted a review good or bad about your build you woulda been ok.
  22. I couldnt care less about flotek as I dont know the dude. You shoulda called him FIRST. Most builders unfortunately will flame another and say everything they do is crap or that they are incompetent. I would take that as a $1400 lesson on what NOT to do.
  23. HE discovered it. Not you guys. You were no help to him whatsoever.
  24. It wouldnt work on the supercub or super wampus due to bolt hole placement. CP sells a cast stock looking head for supers.
  25. Do that and a black set of paul turners and tell people with 450s its bone stock. Cool head mod.
