Rohde Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Hey Everyone, First off I'll introduce my banshee. 1987 bored .40 over, FMF Gnarly pipes with powercore 2 cans, trinity 2:1 intake with k&n and half airbox, 38mm PWK airstriker carb, and some new veto's reeds. I am looking for some advice on where to begin with the tuning and jetting of the carb. This carb does NOT have a metering rod with a c-clip it has a set screw on the intake side of the carb to lean and richen up the needle. What size jets and what turns should I begin with on this project? Thanks! Quote

Air screw at 1.5 turns to start. elevation will vary these specs. Quote

Rohde Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Posted October 19, 2010 you unscrew the bolt retainer in the top of the slide, and the needle falls out through the top. Ok that is what I was thinkin I tried unscrewing the part where the throttle cable hooks up but it is dam tight... Quote
