Is my Jetting OK?

[kswayze]

So, I am in the middle of a top-end rebuild and was cleaning my carbs today. I have owned this banshee since new when my dad bought it for me from Alba. I have FMF fatty pipes, pro-design intake/K&N filter with outerwear, no airbox lid. Right now my mains are 300, 32.5 pilot, and needle on the 4th clip. I Ride on the Oregon coast so elevation from sea level to 250ish. I ride when it is around 50-80 degrees F. Let me know what you think.

Thanks

32.5 pilot is HOOOOOOOOOOOOGE, are you sure its a 32.5 ?, for a 300 main a stock pilot (25) should be plenty.

I was thinking the same thing. I triple checked it to make sure I was not reading it right. Maybe when I wake up today I will bring it into the house with better light to make sure. Other then that, does the rest look good?

yeh 300 sounds about right, do a plug chop to see how its burning and go from there. you will have to play with the needle position to get it perfect if it isnt already.

This set-up is how it came from Alba and has ran perfect for the last 8 years. I think I will buy some new jets and start doing some tuning the next time I go riding.

if thats the case, and it was riding fine. Leave it as is and do a plug chop just to see. If its gone this long it will do it again .

if it was idling good , had good throttle response and had good topend you would have to think its pretty close if not perfect.

Once I get it put back together and broke-in, I will do a plug chop and see. I know I do have to adjsut the idle. The last time I went on a ride, I noticed that it would not idle very well.

how many turns out from seated are the air screws ?

[kswayze]

It looks like about 2 and 1/4 turns out. So, I am looking at my Clymers manual right now and then at my carbs and cannot find the Needle jet anywhere. Where is it and why cant I find it? Did I lose it while taking the carbs out?

you screw your main jet into the needle jet, its that brass piece under the main.

 

 

2 1/4 turns is border line to many, but alba might have it that way for a reason.
