I re-checked. It is a DEK needle. Is that better or worse? Trinity couldn't help me much, they said they didn't know where to go with stock pipes.

32:1 amsoil; 92 octane non-ethanol; oil is spitting out of exhaust

I can't seem to find any info on the web to help, mostly because my banshee is stock except for a trinity 2 into 1, and foam filter (twin air??), lid removed. I am at 4200 ft elevation. It came to me from sea level with 180 main, 52 pilot, EEK needle on 3rd slot. It has a PWK on it, but I don't know which one. It idles good, spits oil all over the garage floor, seems to have good top end (I haven't doon a plug chop yet), but has an off idle bog. I replaced the 52 pilot with a 48, and it doesn't seem to help. It still spits oil, and has a slight bog off idle, then all hell breaks loose, and pulls the front wheels off the ground. I am not too worried about top speed, but the off idle bog sucks. Any suggustions?

I am a new Banshee owner. I picked up a clean, mostly stock 96. It hadn't been started in a few years, so after cleaning, replacing fluids, draining and refilling the gas, it seems to just purr. The stock exhaust couplings are rotted out, and in need of replacing. Can I use heater hose, or will that melt. Any other options besides stock? I just can't see paying what they want for a little piece of rubber.
