Huey73 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 first off history 2001 banshee,pro cicuit platinum pipes,vf reeds, just finishing tors removal. I was having trouble with a bottom-midrange bog.So I changed the clip to position2, jet pilot to 27.5 from a 30, and did a tors removal kit and was setting it up when it wouldn't idle at all. It was dumping raw fuel out the exhaust. I tried running it and shutting the petcock off and eventually the idle returned and then shot up when it finally ran out of gas. So I replaced both needle and seats. Checked the float height. Started it again and the same thing raw fuel out the exhaust, turn fuel off and it picks up. Next was putting a new o-ring on the choke plunger.still the same. Left side smokes more than right side. compression 125 and 129.please don't say ignition because when you shut the fuel off it picks up and runs normal. I also haven't set the idle screws because I can't get it running right. I read on here that somebody uses a drill bit to set the slides the same(about what size?) Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote
AKheathen Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 tear your carbs down, one at a time, and clean them out real good. remove the emultion tube, and air jet. also, check the pilot and airscrew passages. sounds like a blocked air passage somewhere, making it suck strait fuel. did you compress the float springs when you measured?

Huey73 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Posted May 12, 2009 compressing the spring is not the procedure in the clymer's unless I read it wrong. I had already cleaned the left side out good but will do it again. I think I'll order a new choke assembly it doesn't want to stay out and looks pretty worn too. May be a while before I can report back I've gutted my basement due to a flood. Thanks AK! Quote
