BansheesRock

My elevation is 611 ft.

I just found what was wrong, somehow I let one of the O rings around my dome fall into the cylinder as I was putting everything back together. It was a stupid mistake, I'll remember that one from now on. I do have another question if someone could answer for me. I have 20cc domes; can I run pump gas on these?

I just replaced my stock head with a pro design cool head with 20cc domes. Once I tightened all the nuts to about 20 lbs. of torq I tried the kick start and the pistons moved so far and got jammed. I think my pistons are hitting the bottom of the cool head. Is this common? any suggestions as to what might be causing this? I do have stock cylinders bored to 65.5 (.060) over.

V-Force it is then! The most popular I see on the market right now is the Delta 3. I have heard that the V-Force 2 reed valves were better than the 3, is this true? Also, since I will be going with the V-Force 3 reed's do I need a spacer as well, if so how thick?

Yes, those are the one's I'm referring too. They sound convincing on their web site. I think I will set back and let you guy's help lead me in the right direction.

I have been looking at the G3 power curve reed valves and was wondering if anyone would recommend this product. What product would you recommend over this one?

I have a set of FMF Fatty's on my banshee w/power core tips. I really like the punch they give. Adding these pipes was the first step I took towards performance enhancements. It made a difference right away from stock. Since then I have jetted my carbs., installed V-force 3 reeds, 20cc dome cool head and most importantly K&N clamp-ons. When I threw out the air box and put in the clamp on filters, that is when everything came together and these pipes showed their true colors. WOW!

I bought a Banshee about a year ago because I'm an old school fan of 2 strokes. It was in pretty good condition but the plastic on it was faded out and cracked. I did the same thing as you did and started shopping. I like the original Banshee look but took a chance and tried the new look. Now when I unload at the local track, I'm not just riding "another one of those Banshee's" as I have heard from people. Actually it draws curiosity and people want to know what it is and I'm happy to show them in second and third gear. It's what is under the skin that makes a Banshee what it is. I might decide to order the traditional front plastic later on when I get tired of it, but it will still be the same machine with or without it. It's all up to what you like, thought I would be the one to post a pic. of the new racing plastic that everyone hates. Hope this helps ya man, oh by the way this is not the most recent pic., I have done a lot more work since this was taken.
