need help or input

[twoody]

i have a 96 and having problems and new to the banshees. it will sit and idle beautiful, crack the throttle and good response but you ride and get above the 1/4 throttle it seems raspy, may backfire and seems no power but then you hit the powerband holycow hold on.

 

im running my premix at 40:1, running pwk 28s 155main, 50pilot and needle on 3rd pos. from top. i have k&n air pods, w/ a hard plastic reed spacers on the jug side, running w/ stock reed cages w/ boysen pro stock carbon fiber reeds, im bored out .040 w/ a light port polish (looks like just a clean up), i have pro circuit platinums w/ 304 silencers. everything else is stock, can anyone tell me what i could try or does this seem right? i thought about moving the clip up to the 2nd position.

1/4 throttle to 3/4 is "mid-range" - sounds lean try moving your needles up= clips down 1 notch on both carbs/slides.

 

Welcome to the WOW feeling :biggrin: You wont get that on the new 4-stroke's.

cool thanks for the input, all the post i read and help i gotten off here has been great for a beginner. i tried moving the clip down one and really seemed to help except for getting rid of the raspy sound. seems like it is coming from the 1/8 to 1/4 throttle. so im thinking of going to a 52 on the pilot jet. am i thinking right?

i was talking to a friend the other day and told me that when you crack the throttle you loose a little at first but the best thing to do is crack it open twice then the power is there. i want all the power when i want it, not doing something twice like that. what im thinking is that when i crack that throttle it should w/o doubt on pavement bring the front up w/o any problems. but it just doesn't seem it has what it takes to do it. im new to the whole 2 stroke and just wondering if my thinking is right. i hope i explained this for someone to understand and hopefully get some input.
