bluebanshee1998 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 well, the only reason it would do better is if you are adjusted too rich on thoe pilot/airscrew, and mabey needle. they lean out the bottom a bit, but do not do anything for power.....just tune your carbs good and sync and it will run better and have more throttle response with the stock tube. oh okay i put the one on mine the power band kicked in fast than with out it and my buddy had one on his brand new shee with nothing done do it and it done the same thing that's why i was wondering and i also seen a Billet Intakes carb Crossover i didnt know how good those do either.

AKheathen Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 well, if you tune it right before and after the bottle, i gaurantee no improvement with the bottle Quote
t3h hott! Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Posted December 5, 2009 Ok, I took the bike down to the frame, I'm getting everything ready for paint now. I'm a little confused as to what to measure on the porting, like do I just measure in a cross pattern? (Top to bottom, side to side). I should have all the numbers for u guys soon. I have some piks but they are on my pc, I'm using my fone right now. Quote
AKheathen Posted December 5, 2009 Report Posted December 5, 2009 well, the best thing for measurin your ports is in degrees of durration. but if you can't do that, then you first measure the deckheight assembled, then measure from the deck to the top of each port in mm.... are you gonna straiten the top of the frame? also, check the steering loop above the gas tank, those are usually bent back, but can be straitened easily. you can tell by how the rad.and tank plastics line up......

t3h hott! Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Posted December 5, 2009 Ok, well tomorrow I'm taking my juggs to a local "builder" a couple of people have recomended, ima have him check out the ports and I'll see what he tells me, I just want to try and get an understanding of how the porting works so I noe if he's just trying to get me or if he's telling me the truth... As soon as I mention to anyone that I have a banshee the first thing they want to do if a full all-out drag port and I'm not looking for that unless this port job is soo bad that I have to... If I can clean this up and have it run like stock then that's my best option. I haven't had a chance to get to the frame but judging by my friends bike its not that bad, I think I can prob straighten it out my self... The steering loop doesn't look that bad and my a-arm bushings don't look too bad either, just dirty... Ima clean all that ish and re grease everything... I do need 1 wheel bearing cus 1 of the front spindles rocks with the wheel of! Quote
t3h hott! Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Posted December 6, 2009 Aight, I got to take the top end off the motor, and I found out Its bored .60 over (65.5mm pistons), the rings looked new, had a nice shine, no burnt spot or anything, the walls looked pretty good, nothing u can feel with your finger nail, no deep scratches just some alloy stains but they too didn't even look too bad... I'm starting to think that dude wasn't lying when he told me the cool head had fucked up domes... Hence the reason for different comp readings. everything under that looked stock... The rod didn't have too much play side to side and none up and down... The gaskets didn't look too bad, not leaking from anywhere... I doubt its stroked cus like I said the rod looked like a factory piece, no billet or anything... Its stamp I think 29L on the rod, and its a copper/rusty color... I think I'm not gonna touch any of that cus honestly it doesn't look too bad, everything looked pretty clean. I haven't had the porting checked yet, but judging by what I seen, it too didn't look too bad, its a little rought, I feel like they could have done a better job of smoothing it, I might just get it done, don't noe how much that'll cost yet, I'll now more about that hopefully next week. It looks like its just a mild port job, there's still a lot of material left... Over all I think ima just get a new gasket set, order some new rings(just in case) and put everything back together and see where I'm at. as far as the carbs go, I have to send my findings to dennis packard and see what he recommend I do about them and what needle to use... I checked the carbs with a schematic on their website and they looked to be complete so I guess ima just keep them... Since I'm bored out and ported I guess I can prob just use them. Quote

t3h hott! Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Posted December 24, 2009 hey guys, just wanted to update ya on the status of my bike... it's still down to bare frame, i'm waiting for some parts and my frame to finish getting painted... dude who paints had done it already but it flaked off on a small area and i sent it back to get done right! im in the process of getting 28mm carbs, ima just ditch the lectrons cus i honestly dont need them, and i found a local dude selling a torqueline cool head for cheap so i grabbed it, i'm waiting for 20cc domes to come in so i can finish the motor, after that just tune and ride! hopefully i'll have it ready b4 newyears! heres a pik of what its looking like...

AKheathen Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 nice goin........you should post those lectrons for sale on here. they are supposed to be some really nice carbs once you learn how t tune them right. someone should be happy with them... Quote

Posted December 25, 2009 Author Report Posted December 25, 2009 nice goin........you should post those lectrons for sale on here. they are supposed to be some really nice carbs once you learn how t tune them right. someone should be happy with them... Yeah, actually I'm trying to work out a deal with a fellow hq'r for some 28's... The lectrons are great carbs, sad part is that I don't wanna build my bike to the point I'm going to need them. I even spoke to dennis packard from packard racing and he told me how to tune them and what I needed, seems pretty easy, just 1 needle to mess with, but mines even have a power jet so they really are great carbs for anyone looking to drag or dune! Where I ride is mostly tight trails and 1 of my main goals in life is learning to cat walk my banshee so I need that low end! Quote
AKheathen Posted December 26, 2009 Report Posted December 26, 2009 yah, i'm lookin at some lectron 30's when i get paid, mabey. i was gonna get mikuni 28flats a while back, but got some 28 rounds that were bored out to 30 at a good deal, so i went with them........i was a little leary about the bottom, but they run pretty damn good Quote
