willbanshee Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Hi i am new to this site. I just purchased a used set of 34mm Keihin carbs for my 01 banshee. My banshee is running a cool head 22cc domes, shear in frame pipes, i think trinity stage 5 reeds, it is bored .80 over. I am 100 ft above sealevel in Wilmington,De. I started with 45 piolet jets, 158 mains does this sound right. I put the carbs on and started it and it fired rite up sounded pretty good didnt bog when i rev it up. It woulnt idle so i ajusted the cable as far out as i could and it barely idles. I think the carb tops are a little messed up when the adjustment hooks to them so i think the tops are messed up so i guess order new tops and maybe a new cable i think it could be stretched. Were is a good wesite to use to buy carb parts like jets, cables, and carb tops. Any help would be great Thanks WILL Quote
98_shee Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Sounds close on the jetting, check your plugs so see if your rich or lean, white = lean, black = rich, you want them to be light brown. To adjust your idleing you turn your choke knob, don't use the cable. You should invest in a carb sync tool to sync the carbs its the best investment i ever made. Go to F.A.S.T. Racing (site sponcer) for parts and the sync tool. Oh and welcome to the HQ!! :beer: Quote

Oh and welcome to the HQ!! :beer: Thanks well i am gonna order some pods, new throttle cable, and carb tops because i turned the knob clockwise as far as it would go and it still barely idles with the cable as far out as i can so i guess it is stretched and the carb tops are a little messed up from the person i bought them from. I took it for a real quick spin earlier without filters and ran threw first threw fourth then pulled the plugs and they were a dark brown. One thing i did notice is it didn't feel like it had much more power with the larger carbs but like i said all i took it out for was a little spin down the street, but did feel like it didn't take as long to hit the power band like the stock carbs did. Once i get the new parts in i will try to ride it a little better and i will inform ya of how its running. THANKS WILL Quote
speed-racer Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Make sure tors is not giving you the idle problem. You probably already knew that...just a heads up. 45 pilots sound about right, but the 158 main may be a bit fat. Good place to start though. Edited December 3, 2008 by speed-racer Quote
