I have seen people run diesel in chain saws and even snowmobiles, they didn't last long. Diesel fuel has certain lubricating properties to help lubricate valve train components and the injectors. It'll run but I don't recommend it.

I recently got a 1987 banshee on craigslist. I just wanted to know if I can throw a yfz450 rear shock on it. Will it fit the stock swingarm and linkage. Thanks for your help in advance, Tyler.

So im redoing the top end in a 1987 banshee. Stock no mods. I was wondering what people think about namura pistons vs wiseco pistons. I know that wiseco is forged and namura is cast but thats about it. What do you guys recommend?

I'm looking for a set of stock carbs or maybe 28mm. I'm just curious to what I should pay. right now on eBay theres a set with the TORS and cables ready to bolt on and go for $115 free shipping. Is that a good deal?

Yeah the guy had rolled up mud flaps as boots because his "precious" k&n's wouldn't fit the carbs lol. Those white plastic fittings are for an oil injection system.

Here are the pics of the carbs if anyone wants to see them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that was an option but then I would have no way to choke it to start it. I'm gonna try to find some stock carbs but if I can't ill have to go that route.

Thanks for the help guys. Ive been trying to load some pictures but iPhoto on my computer isn't working. Anyways I got it down to school and showed my teacher the carbs. Turns out they are old sled carbs, the type that use a primer bulb. The primer fitting wasn't hooked up and was sucking air so thats why it was hard to start. (lucky I didn't blow it up) Did a compression test and tested 110psi in each cylinder so thats good. Should be a fun project Ill post some pics when I get my computer working. Thanks Tyler

I recently purchased an original all stock (so i'm told) 1987 banshee for a school project. It runs and drives, however starting the thing is a pain in the a$$. The guy told me that it has an auto choke but I don't know if I believe him. After it starts it runs awesome. When its below 50 degrees fahrenheit I have to use starting fluid and it starts up no problem. Above 50 degrees it starts on about the 7th or 8th kick. Did they ever make an auto choke for a banshee, especially a 1987? Anyways should be a fun project. Thanks Tyler
