BigRed350x Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 1. remove carbs 2. clean carbs 3. install carbs. lol Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 When you clean the carbs don't forget to check what main size jet you have in there Quote
Jereme6655 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Also make sure you are cleaning the carbs peeper rate as there are side specific things on each carb. S to ease things just finish cleaning and reassembling one before cracking into the other. IF you open both up at the same time.......I use small aluminum foil pans to keep the parts seperate. The other thing that's great is yon use those same disposable aluminum pans to drain your oil into and after you pour the oil out of it you can just toss it. Quote
Kybansheeman Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Posted February 29, 2012 Im going to have alot of questions hope you all dont mind. But for idle adjustment, is that the screw on the side of the carbs? Quote
Jereme6655 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 nope....we dont mind. First you need to decipher whether you have a TORS eliminator kit on your carbs or not. If there are large silver colored boxed that are connected to your carbs through the carb caps then you still have the stock tors. if they are not there then you have the elimintor kit. If it was fully installed then there should be a larger style screw on the outbound side of each carb. That screw would be your idle screw then. HOWEVER....if you still have the TORS boxes still on your carbs then your idle adjustment would be the large knobs on the tops of those boxes accessed by removing your seat. The small screw that i believe you may be talking about is your idle/air screw. Quote
Kybansheeman Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Posted March 1, 2012 The tors is gone, no boxes on top, has a screw that sticks out about an inch on the side of the carb kinda a large screw. Also, it was running bad on the br8 plugs, I put a set of br9s in it and it runs a lot better. Is that ok? Thanks Quote
blackshee03 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 If this is your first banshee then you might not be used to them, its a 2 stroke twin with no balls in the low.end unless you tune it to, mines all mid to top end tuned to be. Quote
