ok I will get to it.

okay I think I may need the carburetor sync tool. I have the tors. Its a pain to adjust these carbs with the tors. One carb slide moves up and down and the other barely responds with the the big flat head screw

I have learned so much from working on this banshee. I still have a low end bog and tremendous smoke. Top end is new and I have replaced seals and done a leak down test. The bike pass the leak down test with flying colors I don't even think it dropped a psi. Once the powerband hits it hauls a$$. Seems like my pilot jet is wrong, but it is stock and my plugs are black. only mods are fmf and k&n filter with lid cut in half. Could someone please point me in the right direction. I feel that I'm so close. here is a video https://youtu.be/R7Rut7oZ-Cs

I believe its both. Mostly fuel. Raw fuel and I seen some coolant in it also.

I had another thread with my issue, but its no longer letting me reply to post. what could my problem be? I have a banshee of course, that has raw fuel in the exhaust pipe. I know this because I went to run my leak down tester, which didn't go well at all. I poured raw fuel out of the first pipe to the cylinder. What can cause this? Also it smokes white when its running.

the secondary was within specs. 5. something I cant remember exact

my ignition coil primaray is reading 1.4. According to southwest banshee video on youtube. the specs are .28 to .38

ok i checked them again today, and i can see ligt through them! im thinking of the carbon boyseen reeds

can the reed cages be rebuilt? Do i need to buy all new cages?

will do, what is the specs for it?

yes the reeds are stock, that could really be my culprit also!

i know thats why i said i will make my own tomorrow

went back to old compression guage and had a reading of 115 psi! That should be enough for a 2 stroke right? Also Zillafreak, the plugs would be black, same color as the spooge. Could the bike spooge and still run lean? I thought I was far away from overheating, because of all the unburnt fuel. What I think it is, correct me if I'm wrong is my jetting. I think I'm a little too big, but the pilot is stock and it controls the bottom end power until about half the throttle. Once I get to half the throttle that's when the powerband kicks in and it hauls A**. Tomorrow I will get a leakdown tester. I have seen were people build there own. I think I may do the same. Could a leaking seal be a culprit of all this?

I will most definetly try to get my hands on a leak down tester. I also see where they make a carb sync tool. I need that also. I hope its the hose that's lieing to me. It has to be the hose. It does make sense that an air leak is causing all this mayhem.

its ironic because this is my first time using this tester on this bike. I just recently brought this harbor freight tester. I will try my old one tomorrow. carb syncing could also be an issue, the hole in the piston is that from overheating or detonation?

harbor freight tester it is lucas oil 32:1 ratio

Im glad i have found this forum, i need some 2 stroke 101! I'm very good with 4 strokes, I rebuilt those on a daily basis. I'm having trouble with this 2 stroke banshee. I'm going to tell you what has happened and what I have done and maybe you can help me or point me in the correct direction. Once upon a time, I had a banshee come in for repair. It was leaking from the overflow and had spooge with the bottom end bog. I adjust floats, and still get smoke and spooge. Well I know spooge is leftover fuel that the chamber didn't burn. I then check the jetting, it have 25 for pilot and 280 for main. Although the main is a huge jump from stock, the bike has fmf pipes and k&n filter with the lid cut in half. My first instinct is not to toy with the jetting just yet because as we all know a 2 stroke that is starving for fuel or running lean will lock up, due to lack of cooling. I then go on to change the clip on the needle jet. That made a difference, it was actually rideable. It still had the bottom end bog, but once it hit the power band it would haul A**. My next thought is we may need to take it to the dirt and open it up, and burn all that spooge out. I was totally wrong. What happened next is the spark plug porcelain engraved a hole in the piston on the right side. Well without a doubt we had to purchase a top end kit. Where I purchased it from, ebay! was that the best decision probably not. ​I go on to install the new top end cleaning all old gasket material off and torqueing the head bolts in the number order. The banshee comes back to life, but still smokes like crazy and spits spooge. I can feel raw fuel on the back where the pipe meets the exhaust. Although it smoked the compression was at 115 psi in both. it was consistent. Well this sequence happened about a month ago. Today I go back to diagnose it and it wouldn't start. I check my compression again and its a 60 psi in both cylinders. What the f*ck? The carbs were completely off when I was performing this test. What could have caused this? failure of break in process? The bike has not been ridden at all since the rebuild. Also the reed seem to be in correct order also when I checked them. I'm lost for words on this one. I'm in need of help really bad.
