So, I am rebuilding one of my 2 banshees, this one for the last time. It has been almost 15 years since i last actively rode one. It would not start by kicking it, i could push start it. a compression check showed 110 in the right and 40 in the left. broken piston ring. It was already at 66mm bore. i was told it must be resleaved. i was able to have a shop bore it to 66.50 mm. the pistons the shop ordered were incorrect. They was 66.5 mm pistons, however they was for a stock crank and i have a 4mm stroker. All balls racing was able to provide a 66.50 stroker piston kit. now its time to re install the cool head from Pro Design. when i dissembled the cool head, it did have the factory metal head gasket as well as the O rings for a cool head. i am not sure if that was right or not but that is how it was. when i got the piston kit from all balls racing, it come with two metal head gaskets, a thin one like normal metal head gasket, and another one, much thicker, that had a tag saying only use this in plus 4 mm install. my question is do i need the metal head gaskets with a cool head install? does the cool head and its O rings install directly to the top of the jug without the metal head gasket? Thank you for any input

I had a simmilar problem and it turned out to be water in the gas. I drained the tank and carbs, changed spark plugs and all was beter

On my wifes 02' stock i took the snorkle off the air box lid and it helped out a little. i wouldnt take off the entire lid cause without the groove in it the air filter cant stay in place. No air filter and or loose means bad things happen fast.

Ok, i got 320 's now. So what about the pilots? i checked the other carb and both pilot jets 2.8 . This could of been why i had so much trouble runing the bike when i first got it till finaly "That Day" when she died. i am not sure my freind works at napa and is into this stuff and said its really weried pilot and most lickly incorect. he said i should start back at stock pilot and go from there. I have been told 27.5 pilot. Is that a good idea?

Ok so about 320 is the more common answer. so i will start there. as far as the pilot its eaither 2.8 or 28. theres a . or nic, and hard to tell, i tried to take a pic but its way small. im gona open the the other side (carb) and see what i can figure out. I dont have the boost bottle just stock aluminum tubeing. I will go over everything to ensure theres no air leaks. Thank you all for your help

Thanks, The previous owner must of put them in. Im sure they are not stock. I never did get to far in jeting. 320 sounds good i guess, im not sure why the other owner put in 400. i did recheck the pilot and it was 28 as there was a nic or somthing on it. would the maker of the pipes and silencers make any difference? I know the pipes are not stock but thats it and the guy i got the bike from is gone far away.lol. I live in michigan to close to manton /lake city .

Hi, i am a new member here, thanks for leting me join. finaly i got my jugs out of th machine shop. My question is were am i as far as jetting. i have a 99' banshee. The bike has 66 mm wiseco pistons, Hot rod crank, cool head with 20 domes, K&N air filters(Box removed) , V-force reeds/spacer, pipes and silencers( unsure of what kind), Curently 400 main jets and 2.8 pilots. I am the 2nd owner so there are somethings about the bike i am unsure of. I am aprox +900 ELV. Will i be able to use the jets that i got now? Do i need to use different ones??
Thanks

Thank you for the input. from what i know, the domes are correct. However, if they are wrong, then they have always been wrong. is there a number or stamp, maybe a measurement i can take to identify what domes i have ? as for the orings and gasket, do you think i need to use them both because the bore is so big and at its maximum? right now, with both installed, im getting 110 in each cylinder. i feel like 125 per after a fresh rebuild should be more like it. im guessing remove the metal gasket and try again? thanks
