swhitey917 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Ok guys here are some of the problems i am experiencing. 1) When i first start my quad is it very easy to start, i don't have to use the choke or anything, but after riding for a little bit when i shut it off i have to kick it quite a bit for it to be able to start. 2) I am burning a lot more fuel than i used to. My brothers banshee is way more modded than mine and i burn fuel way more than he does, what could cause this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black sunshine Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 What are your jet sizes and clip position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitey917 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 What are your jet sizes and clip position? I don't know at this moment. i just took my carbs off today and i am going to check them tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitey917 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 A little confused. The carbs had two different main jet sizes in them. (one carb had a 190 and the other had a 200) these jets seemed kinda small i think. but from what i have understood i need to go even smaller?

sheeman09 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 i dont think that goin smaller would be good on the main jets but the pilot jets quite possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitey917 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 i dont think that goin smaller would be good on the main jets but the pilot jets quite possibly The only reason i said a smaller main is because i am running really rich. My plugs are black and i smoke quit a bit. Once i figure out where the pilot jets are, i will drop them down one size. (I am new to the whole carb thing so i feel like a complete idiot trying to find where things are located) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO73 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 The pilot jet is located next to the main...the entire bottom of the carb has to be removed "the 4 screws" it is up in a hole you will need a small screwdriver to remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogs Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Make sure thats oil smoking and not a broken ring or something that can do damage to your pistons. I'd make sure you either have 190 or 200 in the carbs I wouldnt mix and match. And as for the fouled plugs that sounds like the pilots. If it hits good up top the mains are fine. Down low is where your having your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitey917 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 thanks guys, i will pull them back off and drop the pilot down a size. I am going to have to order another 190 main so it will be a bit before i update with that.....I am also thinking about just putting the shee up for sale....anyone interested.

swhitey917 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 does anyone know a ruff estimate on how far the screws on top of the TORS system should be turned. it seem like no matter how much i turn them nothing really changes.
