Well I am running again. This is my first 2-stroke money pit, well not including the oddyssey in pieces. Anyways. I have a 98 banshee that was tuned perfectly with the stock set-up. I decided to put a 2 into 1 carb set-up on it for my riding style( my daughter has a big bear 400, so i spend a lot of time looking back, and fouling plugs on trails).
What I have:
98 banshee mostly stock except for overbore and replacement crank.
Trinity stage iv 2 into 1 intake with Keihin PWK 35mm carb.K&N pod filter and sock.
I can not get it to idle. It runs well, warms up good.Seems powerful and responsive. but you have to slightly hold the thumb throttle to keep it running. I took the filter off and i cant even see the slide move up or down at all in this process. I have run the idle screw in and out as specified to no avail. I dont have a leakdown or compression tester, But what are the chances of an air/vacuum leak in the intake system? Would this cause it to die with no throttle?If there is a leak its between the trinity intake and the boot to carb, both are trinity parts.Didnt seem like there was any squish when I reassembled it on my bike. Can I use a little sealant on these surfaces? Also, Is there a decent jetting kit to buy or do you buy individually what you need? I have had the carb out 3 times and its no where near as bad as working on the stock setup. My elevation is 2700 and the areas we ride are in between 2800 and 2400. I bought this set-up used on ebay, cleaned the carb, but didnt note the jet sizing. Can someone give me an idea of what size jets I can order for my set-up? Also when I put the paddles on it sounds like my chain is jumping on the sprocket when I turn left and gas it. I replaced the tensioners and have a new chain.Not sure if it does it in more than one gear. Does not happen when I have the stock rear tires on.
Please help, I cant afford to send it out for repair anymore and I would love to conquer the world of jetting and actually ride it for more than an hour without something else breaking.....
Thanks to all for your help.
