    I'm new to Banshees, and inherited a '96, stock displacement, aggressive port/polish on the exhaust side, 1.5 oversized carb throats, Toomey T5's, and the standard Toomey airbox vents, as well as an aftermarket timing plate. It's jetted for near sea-level for Florence, Oregon, but I have it in Idaho at about 2200 feet. I put fresh mix in after it sitting for 10 years, and it started first kick and idled beautifully, and ran perfectly. Within 2 weeks, it's loading up BAD in the low/midrange, but screams up on the pipe. Not sure why it changed so quickly over maybe 2 hours' total runtime, but can B12 chemtool additive be added to the fuel itself in a certain amount to clean the carbs safely? I'm not quite yet at a level where I can tear a pair of carbs apart and then have to re-synch them. Half a left turn on each air/fuel screw improved it a bit, but not much. I don't think it's the jetting, because for a while it ran beautifully and never bogged. And then it just started bogging one day.

    In theory yes.. but i wouldnt. That b12 is nasty stuff, if left in the fuel too long it can eat at the tank ,fuel lines ect. Plus you would have to mix it in at a pretty precise ratio, 2strokes need proper jetting. Who knows how that stuff will affect the fuel, and could cause a lean condition. If it were a stock motor and jetting you would prob be safe.  Also that stuff just wont replace a carb cleaning. If that machine has been sitting a while there will be stuff in places that will require hand cleaning. Sounds like you need to dive in and start learning how to work on these machines. Only one way your going to learn and thats by doing it.. if your not willing or too affraid, you honestly might better just sell it
