devan33 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Hello,im new to this forum,and would like to thank everyone for making such a good forum here.I recently got a 2001 banshee for next to nothing. It came with v force 3 reeds and a jet kit. not sure what make the jet kit is,no papers. I tore it down had it bored .40 over. I removed the t.o.r.s and put the eliminator kit in. however it didnt come with the idle screws. Now to the problems. It will start right up no problem,but it wont rev up at all and wont idle. It just boggs. I have been told you have to do some wiring modification when you delete the t.o.r.s.?? I thought maybe it was way to rich because it had 280 main jets in when i got it,and still has stock exhaust for the next week. Just not sure what to try next i tried wiring the 2 throttle switch wires together,tried wiring the clutch wires together,. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Quote
11AGUY Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 When you remove the TORS all you do is unplug hard plastic wire connections, no scissors required... Not sure what u cut.... That could be giving u the problem..... I just removed them last week Quote
Dicklez Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Unplug the tors controller on the left side under the tank. Quote
devan33 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Posted January 24, 2012 I unpluged all connections foor the tors. all i cut was the plug connectors for the tors and the throttle switch. I had the running problem before i did any of cutting. the guy i got it from couldnt get it to run after he installed the v force 3 reeds and jet kit. then i got it and rebuilt it, decided to remove the tors along the way.

11AGUY Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 You need the idle screws.....Jsparky on you tube has vids on the complete install... I brought mine to a machine shop to drill and tap Quote
devan33 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Posted January 24, 2012 will the idle screws keep it from revving up or just help with idle. ha i actually watched that video today trying to find an answer Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Are you sure you have the slides in the right way? Quote
devan33 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Posted January 24, 2012 Im pretty sure there in the right way,but i have had 3 other people ask me that. so iam questioning myself now. I assumed they are in right. i was told you can get them mixed up from one side to the other. if this is the case would the slide have a normal gap at the bottom (which it does) in the closed position. or would the slide be completly closing off the carb. I guess what im asking is can you switch them and still have it look normal inside or would it be obvious i have them switched Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Yes, you can switch them and they will be wrong. The cut out on the slide needs to be facing towards the back of the bike. What pilots are in this bike? If you don't have idle screws, you should be able to set the idle using the adjustment at the top of the carbs. Just make sure you get them synced the same. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 The angled "cutaway" faces the air cleaner, the bowl with the "BB" goes on left carb, 3" choke crossover tube goes from left to right carb right across from choke knob. Float level set, carbs clean, synced? Have to unplug tors "brain box". Quote
devan33 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Posted January 25, 2012 the cut outs are facing the back of the quad so they must be in right. stock pilot jets. the idle dont bother me as much as the fact that nobody seems to know why it wont rev up at all. I mixed fresh gas 40:1 put a new petcock in the tank,new fuel line. completly tore the caebs apart and cleaned them. sealed the around the reeds with black utv gasket sealer with new gaskets cause i thought maybe it was sucking air. moved the clip up on the needle valve tried stock main jets cause it acted like its way to rich. none of these things changed it 1 little bit. im lost at this point Quote
devan33 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Posted January 25, 2012 I unpluged the tors brain box and cut the wires. the crossover tube is connected,carbs are synced. the only thing is i didnt check the bowl to make sure i didnt switch them The angled "cutaway" faces the air cleaner, the bowl with the "BB" goes on left carb, 3" choke crossover tube goes from left to right carb right across from choke knob. Float level set, carbs clean, synced? Have to unplug tors "brain box". Quote
Larry's Shee Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Who assembled the motor? Are the windows on the pistons facing the carbs? Quote
devan33 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Posted January 25, 2012 I assembled the motor myself. Im new to the banshee but not to quads, i also have a raptor 700 that i have done over several times to get it where i want it.Its a 105.5 bore with a +5mm hotrods crank,54mm TB with a racersedge +2 head,dynatek,pc5 and much more making it a 778cc. The arrow on the top of the pistons are facing the exhaust and the windows are facing the carbs Quote
lt500rbigbore Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 parking brake still on the bike? if so that could be the problem. if not you probably have a dirty pilot. as far as the slides go, there are little balls on the side of each slide make sure they are facing the right side of the carbs (if your looking at the bike from the back) there are little bubble windows on the carbs thats what they are for, then just set them from there. hope this helps Quote
