P-man Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) I bought a 2-1 35mm keihin carb for my banshee. The bike has just t-3's and a K&N. I had a 195main in it, but it hasnt really been running right, seemed a little rich. Any idea what I should run? what are you guys running? Edited June 12, 2009 by P-man Quote

P-man Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Posted June 13, 2009 What needle is in it? hmm, how exactly do I tell? And btw, im at sea level Quote
Snopczynski Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Take it out, the numbers are stamped in the top near the clip grooves. Quote
P-man Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Posted June 13, 2009 Take it out, the numbers are stamped in the top near the clip grooves. OK, C6 L is engraved toward the top of the needle. And the clip is as far down the needle as it can go. Quote
Snopczynski Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Its probably a CGL needle. You need to have an eek or eej needle. The CGL is for a twin carb setup. Quote

[/quote your right it is a CGL, but it is the needle that came with it. It was this kit i believe https://id304.securedata.net/trinityracing....products_id=367 but i did buy it used. What is the difference in the needles? where should i look for one? and do you have an idea what i should run my main at? appreciate the help! Edited June 13, 2009 by P-man Quote
Snopczynski Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Trinity doesn't sell the 2 into 1 setups with a CGL needle. The CGL is an entirely different taper than the needle you need. You can get needles online by searching google, or from Cascade. Quote

Misssppelllleddd Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 I am around 500ft about sea level and have the Trinity Stage IV 2-1 setup. With all my mods in my sig, I'm running a little rich with a EEK needle (clip on 2nd from the top) and a 185 main. I should probably back down to a 180. I would say 195 is too rich for your setup but play with it a little. Once you get the right needle then try going lower and do some plug chops. Quote
P-man Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Posted June 14, 2009 What pipes are you guys running? I have some old t-3's Quote

I called cascade and they did not know what the eej or eek needles were, I think they need a part # to order it. Sudco and carb parts have them I believe but dont you have to have a minimum of like 50$ or $100? Quote
