2001JLShee Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Hey Guys, I came across a serious problem with my Banshee after having to replace a broken reed. I still have the TORS system installed on my carbs, which I know is a mistake to still have them, but I've been having problems with the left carb cap not staying tight, well I noticed the threads on the carb are all but worn off, evidently the TORS system on the left side has been moving around and caused the cap to keep coming off, now I have a carb that has zero threads left on it and a broken quad. I was wondering if anyone out there has a left stock carb laying around that they wouldn't mind selling or is there another way that I might be able to fix the carb? I tried using thread tape on it and that held up for all of 5 minutes and then it broke again, I got really desperate and zip tied the cap to the carb just so I could ride it since it's been sitting around since December. I'd like to just replace the carb and be done with it so message me if any one has a carb they wouldn't selling off. I've got an 2001 so I don't know how much the carbs have changed over the years.

skinindustries Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 This is really not a good idea but worked for me for about 3 weeks i took the cap off and drilled a little hole threw the cap, Then i took like a self tapping screw and put the cap back on the carb and tightened it down and it held pretty good. Not a very good fix but if you like put something like some kind of sealent on the inside of the cap it might work. Quote
