89sheeman Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 ok i have a 89 shee with a 01 motor all i di was replace the float and neddle valve assy on the right side of the machine when sitting on it ive looked thru forums and alot of people are talking about floats are different on both carbs how do you check this getting ready for a big ride in shamokin pa need my banshee to run right Quote
AKheathen Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 the chokeside carb bowl has a little brass bead on the outside of the float bowl. if it's on the wrong carb, the choke doesn't work, so it may be reall hard to start cold, but not hurt performance. when you replace the float needles, check your float height Quote

fastbanshee8 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Posted November 5, 2009 You have one of three problems. Either the pilot jets are plugged, are too small, or the air mixture screws are too far open. Air mixture screws should be opened about 1.5 turns. Quote
