well i went you to mic the pistons and just check all my clearances and i guess i didnt look close enough at the pistons last night, the left side piston on the exhaust side was all messed up and i could see where carbon had made a trail down the side and the bottom ring was really tight in the ring land. the jugs were already at 66.50mm so im on the hunt for some replacement jugs redo the top end and then ill start the tunning process all over. i put helicoils in place and the stator plate is nice and tight and loctited them in so it wont happen again. not quite sure why there was a second "woodruff key" in there it almost looked homemade. the flywheel was really really tight coming off almost broke my tool. cleaned everything. put it all back together with no extra parts floating around this time. i also noticed my slides are kinda worn, i can see copper showing thru the plateing, so im going locate some replacement slides and probley switch up my needles. i think im going to get them ported before i throw them back on.

do you still have the cylinders, found i need new ones today. price shipped to 08210

well today im going to put it all back together and mess with it. the pistons are still fresh and i still see good crosshatch on the walls. i have the needles set in the middle and im going to put the 50 pilot back in and see if i cant get it running better. im not going to worry about any other mods till i get her running better incase i have to buy different carbs. i have a bunch of stock carb bodies that are kinda beat up but i dont have the caps and slides and all. and if i go and put money to the rebuilding the stock one ill probley just pick up a set of 28mm pwk. im not looking for a lot of top end out of this, im all about throttle response and trail and pit riding, we dont have any good wide open spots i know of in south jersey. ill update later tonight with what i come up with after messing with it.

ok so two weeks ago i got my first banshee, she came with trinity IV pipes and 30mm oko carbs. it was running like crap so i got her home and pulled off the carbs. the right carbs needle was not in the slide, it was chilling in the needle jet passage. so i put that back in and changed the pilot jet from a 52 to a 50, the bike ran better, still breaking up bad on the low end. once you get thru half throttle she rips. there is a 160 main. so i got 48 pilots and put those in, big difference, but off idle she bogged real badso i took a look at the air screws and brought them to 1.5 turns and that took care of a lot of it but when you hit the throttle she boggs then opens up. should i go back to my 50 pilot and mess with the air screw? im located pretty close to sea level and its been around 35-40 degrees out lately where im at. i would of kept messing with it but when i brought her back from my test run she was idleing and then shut off. i went to kick it over slowly and she was all bound up but still moved a little, sounded like i did something bad in the cylinder. so i pulled it all apart tonight to find nothing wrong in the cylinders, took the side cover off just to start exploring this beauty and found two of the stator plate bolts where stripped, one had fallen out completely and the top one backed out and jammed aganist the stator flywheel thingy. so im currently working on fixing that mess and putting it back together. any suggestions would be awesome, the bike is pretty stock except the kn air filter, pipes, carbs, another thing, when i pulled the flywheel thing off my woodruff key came out and so did another woodruff key looking like thing came out. it was boogered up and i could not see where it came from. but it was in the "general" shape of a woodruff key but i know its not, and could this issue be effecting my low end issue being that i had a couple pieces bouncing around the area that deals with my timing? im still kinda new to quads to im trying to learn as much as i can thank you for any help you can lend.
