Beerplease Posted April 25, 2010 Report Posted April 25, 2010 I have a 95% stock '01 Banshee(my first) and I am having some jetting issues after a fresh top-end: Heres the current setup: Stock bore with fresh pro-lites Stock reeds and carbs with boost bottle Stock pipes and silencers Stock airbox with snorkel and fresh Maxima pre-oiled filter Stock 200 Main, stock pilot(25) and needles are on the 2nd clip Air screws 2 turns out, slides opening at the same time 93 octane gas with Maxima oil mixed 32:1 68 degree day at 600' elevation Fresh NGK B8ES plus Heres what's happening: Starts and idles perfect, starts without choke, with choke on it seems to want to quit. After 5 min warmup or so it really does not want to rev cleanly and no powerband, with the box lid off and filter out it runs better and will go into the powerband but not cleanly. Plugs are wet and have 1/2 of the ceramic brown all the way to the electrode from the base I tried going up on clip on the needle(leaner) with no real change, tried going out up to 4 turns on the air mixture, no real change there either, and I de-oiled the pre-oiled filter just for kicks too, nothing changed. I though the stock setup on a stock bike should at least be close but it still is rich especially with the box on. Carbs have be cleaned and float level is spot on, like I said earlier the bike is 95% stock and has not been modded at all. I am not sure what I need to change next, go to a smaller main or pilot, or maybe go to the leanest clip position on the needle, I am getting close to a nice running bike but need some guidance as I am new to the Banshee.

What is your elevation? Is it running rich all over or just from midrange and up? I would move the clip up two positions and see if that helps. It would be in the fourth, or second from the top position, right? I just bought a stone stock '01. It was running rich in the midrange so I went up one position on the needle and it helped. When I disassembled it, the clip was in the stock or third position so I went up one notch to the fourth. It's still a touch rich so moving it up one more, or to the top should clean things up. Oh, I'm at 750' above sea level. Brad Quote

Brad I am at 600' so really close to your elevation, I only seems rich from idle to midrange so that has to be the pilot and needle jet. I tried going one clip up(leaner) but not much of a change, I guess it cannot hurt to go to the leanest position and see what happens. Quote
