csavage17 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 just got done replacing the pistons and rings becuase of lack of compression a few days ago. broke the banshee in have been trying to get my new 35mm Keihn Pwk to idle. Changed the pilot get out to a 48 still cant get it to idle. Started out with a 52 and 50 pilot jet. Have been messing around with the idle screw. hit a brick wall do i need to still go down in jet size. the banshee runs great and its so close to being able to idle just needs a small adjustment. need some ideas.

Your throttle cable screws into your thumb throttle housing, im pretty sure u know this already, just covering the basics. Anyway, take a pair of pliers and loosen the locknut thats holding it in place, then try to unscrew the bolt with the cable through it a bit. Start the bike and adjust until it idles. Just watch you dont unscrew it too much as it could make your throttle hard as hell If that doesnt work, you may need to adjust your slide height, directly on the top of carbs. Pretty much the same procedure as by the throttle, if u have to do this just make sure you do both carbs the same, aka SYNCING. Quote
