hey duner i have not had the tops of the carbs off yet. i just bought this banshee last week and all i know is that it wasnt ridding in like a year. all i have done to it so far is pipes, jets, boost bottle. new plugs, crankcase oil, fuel, k&n with no lid and some cosmetic stuff. umm when i pull off the tops of the carbs will it be obvious if the slides are in backwards??? thanks for the reply !
