Michael66 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 Tried out my banshee today and man will this thing run!! Only thing is the bottom end seems sluggish and then it screams after it gets revved. I think it is my pipes.I currently have toomey t-3 installed and also have these others that i dont have a clue what they are. Would they help even out the power band?? The darn thing died while idleing and wont start back now. I think the coil went out cause it wont start with starting fluid either. It usally starts and i dont have tors. anyway. Would the air fuel screws help the bottom end?? I am currently 1/2 turn out on them. Does in or out richen it up? Quote
bennieben1 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 A picture is worth a thousand words, and it would go a long way towards identifying the mystery pipes! Quote

Use Photobucket or Imageshack to host the pictures, then you can resize them to fit the format you prefer. Cut and paste the link. That is how I do it anyway. Quote
AKheathen Posted September 11, 2009 Report Posted September 11, 2009 also, a pic of the left pipe would help distinguish between fmf/toomy Quote

Michael66 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Posted September 12, 2009 will these give me more bottom end than the t-3's??? Quote
dajogejr Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 OK...first things first. Get the igniton fixed. Without proper spark, you'll chase your tail all day long. Once you've verified that's working correctly, work on the jetting. It's possible you're just jetted improperly. If the air screw is set properly and 1/2 turn out is right, you need larger pilot jets. It's also possible the top end is just worn out... Quote

Well it isnt a dog on the bottom end, just doesnt pull like it does on the top.Where do you start on the air screw?? It idled good so i left it there. That is my question, will the air fuel affect bottom end and which way to adjust (out i Guess). I checked compression and it seemed good. I have an extra motor though as you can see in the pics so if i blow this one sky high i dont care! Edited September 12, 2009 by Michael66 Quote
