rider01 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 I just built my first banshee from a bare frame got the engine in and got it running but now its popping through the stator side pipe. Its got fmf knarly pipes and open air 6 inch k&n filters I installed 280 main jets and 25 pilot jets were in the carbs already and now it seams like the stator side cylinder isnt even fireing i checked and made sure that I had spark and both wires were sparking a nice big blue spark any help would be appreciated thanks Quote
Jereme6655 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 you have the choke tube in place between the carb? how about stepping up that pilot jet in the carbs to a 27.5. when i got my bike it had stock 25 pilots in it and had FMF fatties......thing would BARELY run on two cylinders until you got above 1/2 throttle........dropped in 27.5's and it woke the thing up and smoothed out my non-running cylinder issues Quote
fastquad02blaster Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah. It sounds like carb issues to me too. I'd go with the 27.5 pilots and make sure that your problem side carb is cleaned out good. Double check that choke tube. My bike wouldn't even start without it. Quote

Jereme6655 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 yes there is one pilot jet in each carb. If you take the float bowl off of your carb you should see a SMALL circle opening.....shine a flashlight down it and you should see a very small brass colored pilot jet. it requires a flat-head screwdriver to unscrew the pilot jet.

rider01 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Posted December 28, 2010 thanks ill try that tomorrow and let you know how that goes well found out what it was it was that the slides were in the wrong carbs I didnt know that there were windows in the carbs to look through but got it fixed thanks for giving me things to try Quote
fastquad02blaster Posted December 28, 2010 Report Posted December 28, 2010 In the future, only work on one carb at a time. It's harder to get parts mixed up that way. Quote
