Banshee wont start

[bamaboybv]

87 banshee tors removed reed spacers full dg exhaust . I just got some good used carbs they are jetted at 240 and 27.5 tors already removed The plugs are wet/ kinda darkish. I cant get this thing to start and idle without using starting fluid I spray the fluid in the back where the air filter is but it wont strt without it. I play with the tors air screws that were tappped in I put them all the way in and I put my idle screws all the way in and after doing that it kinda pops/backfires but wont start. ALL of my hoses are connected. I know it's a jetting or air/fuel mix problem I just dont know what. Also when I got it to idle (still used fluid to start) it bogs when you feather the throttle or try to gas it and i've fouled so many plugs that the guy at advance keeps 'em behind the counter for me. Give me some help? good gas 40:1 husqvarna oil . Tell me this too.. what does the drilled tors screw affect i mean turning it in makes it richer/leaner what. Just give me a good starting point . Alabama 540 ft above sea level. Also for the tors removal I just took of the tors next to the ignition coil/ i had twist throttle already on it and the e brake is removed, but I saw nothing electrical to the e brake. i put silicone in the 2 tors fastners on the wiring harness that go to each carb and I siliconed the fastener that the tors box went to . since tors was already removed it may be something that i didn;t do to my bike, but it ran fine when I first got the carbs it just woukldn't idle, or start without starting fluid. But as long as you kept it running it was fast. I read and read the tors removal thread. but yall lose me on the wires running to the parking brake and the wires to the thumb throttle i cant find those but it shouldn't matter if the box is disconnected but idk. crossover tube is in and the choke hose between the carbs is good HELPPPPPPPPPPP!!!

woah, let's start wit the screws on the side of the carbs. they are the idle screws that the slides rest on. turning them in raises the slides, out lowers them. the air screws should be at 1.5 turns out. did you use the slides that came with the new carbs? the middle knotch should be a good place to start for the needles. move clip up to lean and down to richen. unscrew the choke and pull the plunger out to check the o-ring. i'm assuming that when you said the tors removal kit installed, that the cables go directly to the slides and don't still have the idle screws on the top cable transfers right? and please no more starting fluid- a 2 stroke should fire off as soon as it gets a little fuel. i hope you were'nt spraying through your filter. starting fluid is bad enough without throwing some dirt in the mix :shoothead: you have good compression when you kick it? also, you can torch your plugs witha propane torch untill they glow red and let them cool naturally, but let them cool naturally and check for cracks when your'e done.
