easyrider470 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 So, here's the deal....i had my 2 into 1 dialed in running great with a regular 35 mm carb. I got a smokin deal (free) on an AIRSTRIKER 35 and decided to see if there would be any low end benefit anyhow long story short I installed the same set up I had in my other 35 mm carb the set up is as follws..... 190 main/.52 pilot/ and a DEK needle with the clip on the 4th groove. The problem is the bike won't idle at all....i actually had this prob when I have the other carb on as well but after turning the air screw WAY WAY in so it was almost tight the bike idled and ran like a striped ape.....the issue is that I also had to turn that air screw in ALL the way to get the new carb to hold an idle also.....is there somethibng I can do to correct this idle issue? Like I said the bike was running AWESOME with a standard 35MM carb.... Quote

easyrider470 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Posted November 18, 2009 to small? You mean to BIG??? Smaller pilot jet meaning a .50 or a .48...I see. Quote
GNR101 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 to small? You mean to BIG??? Smaller pilot jet meaning a .50 or a .48...I see. rofl sorry man its nearly 2am at work here lol yeh ur pilot is to big just drop down a pilot jet at a time say from 50 to 48 down and down till u find the happy spot Quote
GNR101 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 how do u find the 2/1 setup over the stock twins? like power? Quote
easyrider470 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks. I like the power way better....I am strictly a dune rider and find that the transitions and slow spots where you would kind of have that low end bog with twins is gone with the single carb.....it's better all around in my opinion. The stock carbs are a joke...so do yourself a favor and get rid of them whatever road you take will be better than those crappers. Quote
Snopczynski Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 You need a much smaller pilot and a bigger needle in it. Your running too rich on the pilot circuit, and too lean on the needle. Thats assuming your not riding at 4000-5000 feet. Quote
easyrider470 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Posted November 19, 2009 So a bigger needle? WOW....ok i have a CEL needle but that appears to be even MORE lean than the DEK i am currently running. This bike freakin RIPS...and I have NEVER EVER fouled a spark plug with this set up either...I would like to know what needle I should go with. Or would adjusting the clip help??? Quote
Snopczynski Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 I find it hard that the bike runs good, when you say it wont idle. I set up standard pwk 35's with eej or eek needles with about a 42 size pilot jet. Quote
easyrider470 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Posted November 20, 2009 WOW..a .42 pilot...that is the factory size. The bike rips BIG TIME....the idle was a little off that is for sure...it really doesn't idle at all....but hell who needs a Banshee that can IDLE???? HAHA seriously though I will try a smaller pilot. Quote
Snopczynski Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 42 pilot is the factory size? For what? They dont put pwk 35's on banshees from the factory. Quote
