my property is in town of Decatur in Schoharie county . 4hrs north of nyc .

ok so, I just put 45 pilot jet in and idle screw at 1 1/2 , and moved needle clip to the 3rd position . took It out for a quick ride and seemed to be more responsive low end , pulled the plugs and they are much lighter in color ( white with a little brownish color ) . I thnk I'm close with some minor airscrew adjustments needed ,I will have a better idea when I get a chance to ride it for more time hopefully its just aircrew adjustments from here on out .

Banshee#527 ..I live on long island . No good spots to ride here anymore . unless you want to spend your day running from cops . most of the local pay to ride tracks suck and don't like people with banshee believe it or not . I ride mostly in upstate ny I have 70 acres to ride on . Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

I will try it out this afternoon . I will post the results . hopefully get it dialed in before I go on a 4 day ride in upstate ny for memorial day . Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

Yes New plugs do help but quickly get black , fuel is fresh . I will try the airscrew ajustment . if it improves do you think drop a pilot jet size and bring airscrew back to 1 1/2 turns out. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

I'm chasing the same problem . my plugs look exactly the same . are you getting a low end bogg after its warmed up . mine is bogging like a son of bitch when warmed up. But hits hard past 1/8 to wot . I do a lot of trail riding so think I'm narrowed down to rich pilot circuit. Good luck man hope you figure yours out as well . Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

Reeds are good . they are seated good no cracks . electrical is solid . got good blue spark . I checked harness out all good . it's the black spark plugs that is killing me . They look rich . and the bogg getting worse when it warms up seems everything symptomatic of a rich running pilot circuit . Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

whats up guys , well here is my symptoms 2001 banshee starts firts kick idles nice . has slight bogg 0-1/8 throttle cold . when she warms up the bogg becomes much worse . 1/8-wot she hits hard no issues . plugs are comming out black and appaer to be rich which is what i think is my issue . i just would like to get your guys opionion before i lean her out .so paranoid of leaning out and blowing it up . Any help you guys can give it would be much appreciated .

Good point . never thought about that . I changed mine to metal soon as I got them . I have had them for over a year . no sighn of denting the slide as far as I can see . but good point sheerider something to keep an eye on . Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

Im running a set of chrome flat slide 28mm pwk carbs .I have not had any issues with them at all . only thing I don't like about them is the plastic idle screw . But you can change it out to an easy adjust metal idle screw .

Ok ..let her sit for a few days and tried with fresh plugs . and same issue . so I figured I would pull the motor and tear it down and go through everything , as i took my pipes off I noticed something in them . long story short God damn mice got into both pipes and packed them up with insulation from my garage . cleaned them out and she fired up first kick and is running good . thanks all for your help much apreciated .

I will let it sit a few days . work is crazy busy for me right now . so no rush it can sit a few days .

How long should I let it dry out before giving it another try ?

I know the sizes are diferent than makuni . I have keihin pwk carbs . I will double check but I think it's correct size for my mods and altitude I ride at

Do you know offhand what the pop off pressure should be ? I think it's around 7psi but not sure .
