  1. Toomey T5's and might have a ported intake. Looks cool, sounds cool, and runs great. I recently changed the anti freeze, engine oil, spark plugs, new front sprocket, new chain, new rear brake guard, new seat cover, new hand grips, and freshly rebuilt carbs with all new jets ,gaskets, and orings. Email: [email protected] for pic Thanks, Justin Montgomery, IL
  2. Some good info Gotta_GoFast. Just remember to start by only making one change at a time and see how it responds. Start by warming up the engine to full operating temp and see how the Main Jet "feels" (full throttle). If you can't tell by feel....after engine is warmed up, install new plugs, haul ass in 3rd gear and rev it out for about 5 seconds straight, immediately hit the kill switch and come to stop, pull the spark plugs and read them (or do a plug chop). (google how to read a spark plug in a two stroke). After you get them main jets set, then work your way down to the needle, and then pilot. The needle jet affects the "half throttle" and pilot affects idle to 1/8th throttle or so. You have to do it in that order though cause changing the mains after setting the other two will change everything slightly.
  3. What's a new chain cost? And, is there anything I would need to know about buying one? Thanks, Bean
  4. Ok, summers here, let's get this stuff out of my basement! make offer please
  5. I don't have shock covers.
  6. I'll have to take off the spring or at least compress it and check for smoothness of the piston. It did not come off of my quad, but my friend says it's good.
  7. I don't have the grab bar anymore and the rims are 10 X 8 and they do not fit on the rear spindles, only the front.
  8. I just want to make sure you read the previous posts and saw that they were not in working condition. And, I would like to keep the owners manual, sorry. Let me know about just the lights.
  9. Here are some pics of my red, white, blue, black Banshee. Let me know what you think
  10. I pulled the carbs apart today and I looked at the needle and didn't see any markings on it telling me what size it was. It also had 6 positions to place the clip when the clymer book shows that the stock one is supposed to have 5. Maybe an aftermarket needle? I have a question about the washer by the c clip. What side of the c clip does it go on? So here's my setup and dilema: 25 Pilot jet, 340 Main jet, needle clip in the #2 position from the top out of 6, air screw 2 turns out. With the air screw 1.75 turns out, the main jet spark plug reading was rich. When I turned it 2 turns out, the plug looked perfect at W.O.T., but I checked the plugs after an 1/8th throttle run and it was wet and had a little carbon on the rim, and I had the same result for 1/2 throttle. how can I fine tune that?
  11. I will, thanks. If I remember right..... only change one setting at a time, and start with the mains, right? Eventually, I want to experiment with the pilots and the needle clip position to find the best / safest combo.
