ur talkin about the little sleeve type cover that goes on the filter right? my banshee has one of those, i would assume it would let water in it if it were to get there, how else is air gonna get in? not sure about banshees but my gf has a 400ex with no lid on the airbox , kn filter and no cover thing and i took that thing through all sorts of mud, got it so muddy you couldnt tell it was yellow and it didnt seem to affect it at all. now if you were thinking about taking the airbox off and running filters i wouldnt go thru mud with that kind of setup.

okay, took the carbs apart and it turns out that it still has a 25 pilot jet. should i buy a jet kit? i found one with several main jet sizes and then just a 30 pilot jet with needle and stuff. or should i just buy some individually?

alright guys, got this thing back together. had to be resourceful until i can get enough money around to get the right stuff ordered and i wanted to get it running as soon as possibly. i got my tors elim on and idk, the idle screws dont seem to do anything for it. i couldnt quite figure them out. maybe the slides are in wrong? idk i put the carbs back the way they were taken out. the little half moon shape is facing the back of the bike while on it. sync'd by eye and the kit appears to work. i was having a problem with starting, it would only start with starting fluid and throttle open, i think it has since gotten to where it starts by itself but it will bog down and takes some effort to get the revs up and not have it stall. while i had the carbs apart i did notice that the left carb with the choke tube had a little tube from the body of it that would be sitting in gas im guessing, the right one didnt have this and i am unsure if it is supposed to or not. i would think it would have it. riding this thing it stumbles down low and takes a while to get going (longer than i would expect) but when it does its fast as fuck. is this normal for a banshee? im not to sure on what work has actually been done to this quad, its got fmf fattys, boost bottle, supposedly bored .040 over but you cant tell that without opening it up. 340 main jet, i was going to try runnin a smaller jet, is that a good idea? i still have a backfire out the right cylinder as you sit over the motor. i was thinking maybe lean but with a 340 jet and everything hooked up is that really possible? or maybe too much and its just excess fuel thats getting burned up, and causing it to bog?

thanks, i had actually found one of those diagrams last night after i had been posting if there was one or not. looks like i have more things to buy.

i think i got the clutch fixed, pushing the quad it will stick a little then free up but i dont have the cover and fluid on. im guessing with fluid in the case it wont stick. plates were lubed before i put them on, just need to know of that center screw has a nut as a locknut or if it just sits there. tors elim is awaiting a drill press to drill the hole, carbs are out and cleaned. they have a 340 jet or main jet whatever the higher one is, everything i have read says like a 320 jet is normal but i dont know what is done to this motor. couldnt find the other jets to tell what they are lol. should be back together by the end of the week. I CANT WAIT!

okay, well i looked at everything the other day. just got my internet working again. im thinking i should probably get a new clutch basket soon. i thought it was just missing a bolt but it has a broken bolt hole. im going to try and make stuff work until i can get money for the clutch basket. tors elim kit came today and springs are in i just have to pick them up. gonna try and get everything put together and post back when its done. also, while i got the clutch cover off. is there supposed to be an actual lock nut on the center screw on the clutch. mine has the part that looks like it goes to the ball and is hex shaped with a lip and fits in the pressure plate and the screw part, nothing else.

okay, ill start off by just pulling the clutch apart and coating the plates with some oil to get that figured out. ill look and see if i can find a bolt set online somewhere and get some springs too while im at it. i was told its a pretty much brand new clutch but you cant always trust ppl so ill check everything out and post what i find.

i recently picked up a 96 banshee for what i would consider a fair price. only thing is he said all it needs is clutch work. i am fairly new to quads and this is my first banshee. so i dont quite know what im doing yet but im learning. to start with things i took the clutch cover off to check out the clutch and found the screw thing in the center of the clutch all the way out. screwing it in puts pressure on the clutch and i guess its used to adjust it? then i notice there are only 5 of the 6 springs on it and there isnt even a screw/bolt for the last one. can i just pick up a bolt from any hardware store or is it something i need to special order? or can i run it with only 3 or 4 of the springs? i adjust the screw and lever and just try to roll it and it doesnt move like the clutch isnt working, is this an accurate way to test if its working before putting the cover back on? also is there a way to modify the stock clutch cover for easy access to this bolt/screw thing so as to not have to take the cover off every time? i had thought i had gotten that right, got it all put together and started it up, turned out it was only firing on one cylinder unless i sprayed starting fluid then the right one would fire at idle. looked into it more and found the slide was in the open position the whole time got that to come down and apparently trying to do that messed with the idle screws since im a newb and couldnt find the info on the tors. but now i need to start it with starting fluid and keep it revving it wont even idle for a minute. this question can kind of be answered at a later time, i have ordered the tors elim kit with idle screws so im going to install that and see what it does and clean the carbs while im at it. just need to know what i need to do to get the carbs off the throttle cable i guess and i can get that started. sorry for all the questions but i would like to get this fixed soon. any help is greatly appreciated, i have heard great things about you guys on this site.
