Not to steal this thread, but if anyone else has a brake light switch assembly, I would like to purchase one as well.

I took it back out on my lunch break and ran her around the back yard a bit. Im thinking that the right side is getting more air than the left and therefore more lean. The pipe warmed right up fairly quick. Someone else suggested that the carb caps might not be tight so after runnin a little I tightened them both. After that the left pipe warmed up and the right seemed to cool down so they were somewhat equal. I will check again after it cools down.

No, everything from the rod down I left. My air filters fell off last year at the dunes going up Sand Mountain and the right cylinder seemed to suck in the sand and the carb was stuck wide open.

I just rebuilt the engine. I had the cylinders bored .10 over and installed Wiseco pistons.I have Prodesign Cool Heads, Boyesen Power reeds, and Toomey T5's. After the first start up I ran it around the yard to break it in. After the first 15 minute interval I stopped to feel the pipes and the right pipe was too hot to touch and the left pipe was barely warm. While I let it warm up I noticed that the right tail pipe smoked when the left didn't. I replaced the coolant, I tore down the carbs and cleaned both. I dont know what would cause this. Please tell me what I did wrong!

Thanks that is the answer I was looking for on my banshee.

Thanks for your advice. Guess I don't have an easy solution for this one. Just another opportunity to learn how to rebuild my engine.

OK, so i had just barely cleaned out my K&N filters, and put them back on my banshee. I made sure that I tightened the hell out of them. well i went to the dunes and on the way down Sand Mountain I lost both filters. Didn't know, and went up the other side. made it to the top no problem, but on the way down, the throttle stuck, almost like it was dying from lack of gas, but the tank was full. so i stopped at the bottom and one filter was bouncing around within the cage, and the other was missing. so we looked around and found it covered in sand at the base of the first hill. I looked at the carb, and much to my horror, the right carb slide was stuck wide open. i sprayed carb cleaner and knocked the side a little, and it wouldn't move. First question. How do I get the slide to close without damaging anything? second, I don't know how much dirt got in my engine if any. But how do I get rid of the dirt? and third, what do I have to do to keep those filters on!

Would I also run the risk of the chain binding in the smaller drive gear?

Since stock is 14 and 41, if I were to get a 12 front and a 43 rear would my chain still be the same length?
