bansheesandrider Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 o yeah its been converted too What's been converted?????????????????? Black plugs mean you are rich, however with pipes on it you should need bigger jets than 240s unless you are at high altitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Banshees don't have "rev" boxes. Do you mean aftermarket "cdi" box? Does it still have TORS ? Stock carbs? Clean carbs one at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicK Shee Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Sounds like an elictrical issue, check ur coil make sure its getting good ground n that all the wires are connected, if everything looks fine try a dif coil.. Friend of mine had same issue last wknd at Dumont, we replaced the coil n the sputtering went away.. hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 did you take the carbs apart at the same time? it is possible to put the wrong slides backwards in the opposite carbs.....and it is also possible to put the wrong carb bowls on the wrong carbs. pull the air filter and look at the slides......the half moon cut out should be visible from the backside of the bike (air filter side of motor) also look at the bows.....the carb bowl are side specific. the carb bowl that has a brass ball on it should be on the choke side carb. if you managed to flood it then you can take the pipes off and pour the fuel out of the pipes. then kick it over with the ignition turned off to get any extra out of the engine cases...... then report back...
