Just a question. Do most of you use an inline fuel filter?? And if so any recommendations or are they all the same?? Any help would be great. Just had my carbs apart 5 times in the last week and the pilot jets were plugged 3 times. must be some junk in the tank or something. Thanks in advance

First i would like to thank everyone for the suggestions. I tore it all apart again. Took out the reeds checked that, inspected boots went through carbs again. this time adjusted float level and cleaned everything again. and now it runs like a champ and it even idles. not sure exactly what fixed it is the only problem. think i need to put an inline filter the pilot jet wasd plugged again on both carbs. any recommendations on a filter. just anything or a certain brand?? thanks again for the help.

yes i did remove all the jets and make sure you could see light through them, the choke tube is connected it is clear and you can see the fuel go through when the choke is pulled out. the slides are in correct. the curved side toward the rear or towards the airbox. if not the idle screw for the tors wouldnt work so i am sure about that. also one other thing i did notice was a couple times the thing was just screaming and had to turn the key off and put it in gear. alsmost flipped me off the back once. i checked the boots between the carb and air box and they look good. tonight i going to take the reeds out and look at them and double check the intake boots and reeds look good. i will check the jetting. i going to assume it is real close to stock. it has always run fine. nothing really changed except for the new top end. but it ran bad b4 that too. the same.

Hello, Last year shee started running shitty. Late in season so just left it till now. Just redid top and put tors removal kit in. It is stock except it is bored .050 over and has a K&n filter with the lid. I cannotg get this thing to idle. been through carbs at least 3 times. soaked them in carb cleaner. all jets are clean. thing starts with choke on first or second kick. Then just wont stay running. seems like it is loading up or fllooding. have to keep fluttering throttle to keep it running. think it might be in the carbs but at a loss. any help would be great b4 i light it on fire. thanks in advance

The thing runs good. I checked the plugs and the plugs are brown. Still waiting for compression checker. Any ideas on a good compression rating?? Hopefully get it checked tonight.

Hey all got a 2000 banshee pretty much stock except for the k&n filter. After I ride for awhile it won't start when hot.Going to do a compression check tomorrow. Was looking for any ideas. Starts on 2nd kick everytime when cold. Just not when hot. Kick Kick Kick Kick. ANy ideas on how much compression it should have. It is bored 30 over. Redid top end couple years ago. Might be time again. Thanks Rick
