  1. Check this link out. It has helped me before. Good luck Banshee Electrical FAQ - Banshee HQ Forums
  2. Bump for a great seller. Parts look as described, stayed in touch during deal and shipped quick. Thanks much Dan!!
  3. Do a search in the parts for sale section. There are a few of them in there. Good luck
  4. I bet he can whoop the shit outta that jeep!!
  5. When I pulled mine apart I could see my basket trouble. Looked like the steels and friction plates had been changed a few times with no basket replacement. I put in new steels and friction plates along with the springs and pancake bearing and thought I had a new quad. I have no regrets at all. I do not know if the FAST kit is better or not but I figure that if Jeff could offer a better product for a cheaper price it would be to his benefit to do so. I like to deal with the sponsors and have not found that the little bit I can save elsewhere is worth the trouble that I see people run into with bad parts and return issues. Nine times out of ten you get what you pay for. I hope everything works out for you, much more fun to ride rather than sitting in front of this screen!!
  6. Thanks for the explanation. Very clear, short and sweet. I pretty much only run in the woods, it sounds like something that would work out great for me.
  7. What is a cut transmission? I assume it makes it shift easier, but does anyone have the short version of what is done to it?
  8. ^^^ x2.....I would also get the billet basket to go with it. I just bought the same set up and it grabs great. You might want to call Jeff and ask him which springs he recommends with your set up. He has 2 different spring tensions that can go with it. I would guess he is going to tell you the lighter ones as he did me. Good luck!! http://farmandsandtoys.com/partdetail.asp?partid=39
  9. I run 19 domes at sea level and my compression is at about 165 each side with .045 squish clearance. The guy I got it from was running 93 pump gas but I saw some piston damage and choose to go with 100 octane Sunoco pump. Mine is not a gas pig so the 8 bucks a gallon is ok with me. You might find that you can do a 50/50 mix if your compression is too high for the 93. You will find different opinions on where the cut off is for the 93 but most will tell you between 155 to 165 psi. How far you can stretch those numbers before detonation problems has alot to do with your timing and also your air to fuel mixture. I would guess you will be using either 19 or 20 cc domes Best idea is to get with your builder and he will give you the best advise for your (his) build.
  10. I run the pro design and have not run into any problems but I have heard of the troubles with them before. I have read the guys in here seen to really like the Chariot or NOSS heads and you can use the stock studs with them and also get domes to suit your needs. Another option that seems to get good reviews is to give the guys at Mull Engineering a call and tell them what you have and what you are wanting to do and they can custom cut a stock head or cut your stock head to give great performance. No o-ring problems to worry about but also no option to switch dome sizes. Good luck
  11. I am not sure how much interference you are talking about but since you say you could beat in but it will not go flush to bottom of keyway on the crank I am going to assume we are not talking about much. They make small diamond files that will cut hardened steel but you would probably not end up with straight sides on the keyway. You would have to keep all the pressure towards the bottom of keyway while filing the sides so not to file the top of the keyway too sloppy. It is doable but not as precision as it should be done. I have also made step keys to fix similar problems. It would work best with a surface grinder or at least a mill though. You just grind the half of the key that fits in keyway taking the same off each side so your centers stay equal. Be sure to not be taking any material off the half that fits in the primary gear. Once again, doing this kind of shit with hand tools is a down and dirty fix at best. If you have a local machine shop it would be a breeze for someone to skim the crank slot until you had a good fit and the sides of the keyway would be nice and straight at the same time. Sounds like a nice build, I would either look in the local machine shop option or try to send it back. EBAY sucks in my opinion, I see some good deals but always seems like the troubles you can run into are not worth the little bit ya save. Good luck and let us know how it turns out for you. Chip
  12. Hey Russ!! I have not seen you in here for a while. Hope everything is good for you. We will for sure hook up before it gets too hot to move. Take care and say hey to your boy for me......................Chip
