77bansh33 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 I have an 04 banshee mods listed below. I just installed new mikuni tmx35 carbs and it starts and idles perfect except past mid throttle it bogs and loses power. If you slowly give it gas the power band will kick in but besides that it bogs. Could this be as simple as bad plugs? Tha ks in advance for any help. Quote
dcalsv02 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 Your mods aren't listed. Sounds like a jetting issue. I would get new plugs and make sure your carbs are tuned properly (I.e. correct jets, air/fuel screw,needle, synced etc.). I don't know enough to give you exact numbers. Post your mods, elevation and temp you ride in. This should get you going in the right direction. Quote
77bansh33 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Posted June 25, 2012 It's got carbon fiber reeds, pod filters, ported and polished, fmf gold series exhaust. The main jets on them are 350. Quote

77bansh33 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Posted June 25, 2012 I don't know the elevation. I live in Missouri. I ride in 80s and 90s degree weather Quote
Jereme6655 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 better learn how to do plug chops cause those main jets are making your run rich as shit.... Quote
77bansh33 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 better learn how to do plug chops cause those main jets are making your run rich as shit.... I moved th needle jet clip 2 positions up and it's running a hell of a lot better now. Feels more powerful and the power and really kicks in now. I will still be getting it Jetted correctly but it runs a hell of a lot better now. Quote
dcalsv02 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 The needle is somewhat of a fine tuning circuit. Once you get the mains, pilot, and air screw all set, then you can adjust the needle clip to get it just right. Quote

I adjusted the needle up 2 clips and it rides way better. I can hit every gear as normal. Before I could t. It seems to me the needle is more than a fine tune if it made that big a difference Quote
dcalsv02 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 I think your jetting is jacked up. The needle is cleaning up your mid throttle. You need to get the rest of your jetting in line. Quote
