eschaner Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hey guys. New here. I need some help. I have a 2001 and it smokes out of the right exhaust and not the left.

brugal Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Is it alot of smoke? Does it effect performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eschaner Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Is it alot of smoke? Does it effect performance? Yes there is quit a bit. There is oil in the pipe also. I cleaned the carbs and checked the jets, mains are 280, and pilots are(left)25 and (right)28. Could this be the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would put both at 25 but it wouldn't hurt to buy one of each and try both, the 28 and 25 and see what makes it run better. when you put them back together make sure there synced, that really important. Another thing don't mix up the slides cuz that will make your bike run like shit. Since the pilots are differentyou might as well check to see if the clip on the needles are in the same place.

SilverBullitt Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 does it have a fuel filter on it? wen my fuel filter clogged up it only let gas into the right cylinder and wasnt hitting at all on the left. i just replaced the fuel like from the petcock to the t-fitting and just got rid of the filter. workd like a charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What slot should it be on? Yes it has a fuel filter. I will change it and see if that helps. I just bought it a month ago, so I am still learning how this all works. I am going to get another 25 pilot and try that also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's on the clutch side of the motor and it smokes alot,it could be a crank seal. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would put it in the middle or third clip from bottom up. higher clip postion is leaner lower clip postion is richer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 They dont make a 28 pilot the stamp is prob a messed up 25,stock carbs take 25,27.5,30,32.5 at 2.5 increments.Do a compression test and a pressure test to make sure its mechanically sound before you chase your tail from an underlying problem.If all that checks out check plug caps,coil,exhaust packing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to a guy and said he had a problem and he removed the boost bootle. And he said to mix gas at 30:1. That seems like it would smoke more! I mix 40:1. I have to check compression and needle.

Unless your running like klotz or castor 927, or premix that can be mixed at 40:1 because your gonna have other problems. so is it still smoking more on one side then another.

bansheesandrider Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 If you are running Klotz, I recomend 40:1. I have been running mine that way for about 18 years and have never had a problem because of it, the only problem I ever had was when I was running Benol, I had problems with carbon buildup in the ring lands of the wife's bike. I switched to R50 and no more problems. As was stated, stock carbs have 25 pilot jets and go up by 2.5 increments. BOTH carbs should have identical jetting on a Banshee, if you have to stagger jet then you have some other problem and are covering it up with jetting. If your pipe is full of oil, take it off and douche it out, residual oil in the pipe will make it smoke. Make sure you have good plugs in it and try swapping plug wires from side to side, if it changes you couild have a bad plug cap or wire.

Sounds like tranny side crank seal sucking tranny fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
