'04limited Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 my banshees an '04 and i only have a tube in my left carb and my wifes is an '06 only the tube for the left carb on hers also. Quote
Klaus Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 05.Banshee.SE are you talking bout the jet in the float bowl? The one which looks like a pilot jet? This is something many people overlook as they don't even know about this, I didn't, till a someone told me to check, my bike took a good 20 - 30 kicks with the bowls switched around, now 1-3 kicks As I understand, when your choke is open, the cylinder without the choke draws fuel through that jet and then through the connecting pipe between the carbs. So if the bowls are switched the choke circuit is messed up. Quote
blk02banshee Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Both bowls should have brass tubes attached to them. They are vents, and are where the gas overflows if the floats are set too high. If one was missing, it would be pissing gas all the time. It's been a while since I had mine apart, but I'm sure, as stated earlier, the bowl with the little jet in it goes on the carb with the choke plunger. Quote

shee4speed Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 For some reason I was thinking he was talking about the brass tube in the carbs itself.Only one carb has that tube.I just pulled the bowls on my stockers and the bowls both have the tubes. BAM! those are the overflows. Quote
blue-banshee Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Posted February 10, 2009 Thats how mine look. i got it all sorted out yesterday, i had it right, the little jet (looked like a polit jet) was in the choke side carb. looks like you can take it out with a little flat head (didnt bother though) thanks for all ur help Quote
blue-banshee Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Posted February 10, 2009 one thing i noticed about ur carbs is that the little piace of plastic that go;s in the polit jet hole and underneath the main jet(its white) if you know what im talking about( hopefully) is missing i always wonder what it is for and if it is really nessary?

That's a baffle. It'll run without it, but better to have it. It helps keep the fuel where it needs to be, when it's sloshing around in the bowls, I guess. Quote

AKheathen Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 i think it helps keeps the junk and water from sucking into the pilot jet, and running through the larger passage of the main instead Quote
shee4speed Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 hopefully you don't have any water in your bowls. That little plastic thing keeps the splash down. Quote
IceAlmeida Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 I have a 2005 bike and have them in both bowls... Maybe they did this so people wouldn't put the wrong bowls on the wrong carbs after a certain year? I never knew there was ones even without it....................mine are stock too. my 2005 has em on both bowls too bro Quote
