Mikuni main jets do come in increments of 5 up to 200, then increase by 10...

 

Wow, your right. Although, I have never seen a banshee run a jet smaller than 210-220. I would have to be at 10,000 elevation to need a 175.

ok, what we're telling you is not gonna blow your motor. what your mechanic did probably will. being too rich will only foul plugs, but being too lean will create enough heat to melt the pistons. does he do something else to the carbs when he jets them down, like plug the air jet, so that it only sucks fuel through the emultion tube? (aka needle jet) which advise was wrong, and did you follow through? i.e. plug chops, trying more than just the 290's, playing with the needles/airscrews. the first time you jet, it may seem complicated, but once you've done it, you'll realize that it's kind of easy. plus, you have however many people on this site for reference/questions. i don't believe that there is any vehicle/equipment with nearly as many people all experience with working on the same exact thing. so that guy has 5 banshees- we have over 5000, and every mod you can think of, plus the gained years of knowledge of what works, and what doesn't. that's like saying that cheveron doesn't know shit about techron, or how much to add to a 1000 gallon tank of fuel, because your friend thinks that it works better to do it diferently than 1/2 a million other stations, not realizing that he could be damaging several catalitic converters.

 

ditch that delrio carb reference, start over, with your jetting, and follow through. i bet that you've never felt how a banshee really runs once it's tuned properly. you'd probably have the fastest banshee in your area, and that guy would ask you to tune his 5.

the banshee was available with 190,200,210, and 220, but was assembled with 200's by default.

and i put it in and it blows then what???? WHo's going to pay for the damage??Plus im broke right now so all that i can afford is to buy jetting and some bush bearing that it needs. If it gets blown up then it will sit in a corner in my garage all its life

can you afford this jet kit

 

plus, you can sell what you don't need. i baught the kit for mine

All i said is im looking for a website on how to jet my banshee. I trust alot of people here its just that they told me the wrong jetting.No big deal. And if i would've put the jetting that was recommended I would have blown it up, and no one on here was going to pay for the damage im sure.

 

ok, you said that your buddy said to run 160 mains and that we (bansheehq) said to run like 300 mains? well, the bansheehq jetting spec, ain't going to be what blows up your engine...its RICHER. its going to be your buddies primo spec that makes your engine go south. also, you say that you can't afford to rebuild it? from the picture, it looks like your living in a pretty wealthy neighborhood. just ask your paps for some $, as he probably bought the quad for you in the 1st place. also, you said something about race ready? are you planning on racing this thing? if so, that's going to most likely cost you more than a top end rebuild. racing is expensive. if you want jetting help, post every stinkin mod you have, elevation where you live, temps that you ride in, and people will give you a very good ball park setup, that will require very little to no tuning necessary.
