gmctruck1976 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 Sorry about the crappy topic line. Not sure what to put for this. Kinda worried that I have something wrong with how I put this banshee back together. Not sure if I have it jetted to lean or if my water pump has sheered. Seams like it might be running to hot..... Im not for sure on this or not. It seems to run too good..... I am not bragging on this one. I can not see how the heck this thing can run as good as it is. at least not with these stock carbs and reeds. It starts to easy. The rpms seems to be a little high at idle. ive not really run it to hard and not rode it more than a mile yet. I am worried about over heating this thing. This is what I know for sure. T5 Pipe, 50 over bore, port pistons. Stock Crank..... I think..... Not sure on that one know its Aftermarket but no idea if its stroker or not.... at least when I put it back together Its not put together that way..... Stock head, stock carbs. I think they may be messed up. They are jetted. yeah not sure what right now. Its got some sort of aftermarket needles in it. It has the stupid TORs tops but the freaken wires that useally go to them are cut... I don't see an idle adjust screw installed. So I am thinking this is why the thing idles so darn high. This is not my first banshee, I built the last one It ran pretty good but nothing like this one. I may not be use to these pipes yet. Ran FMF on the last one. with single carb. It seemed to run better at the bottom. It seems like Ive got to hold it in the Pipe a lot more on this setup. Quote
Jereme6655 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 why not try a plug chop to see if its lean? also you should find out what jets are in it and tell us.....at least then we can try to get you close to where it should be. Quote
gmctruck1976 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Posted December 13, 2012 Well Took her for a run today.. She seems to run pretty good. These pipes are weird. Kind of touchy. If you hold the throttle right at the point of the pipes starting to pull Man will she scavenge every bit and just pull like crazy. Just don't try and crack it to hard. She doesn't seem to pull as good. I am going to have to get caps and throttle a just screws. Idle is to high for my taste. The only thing I am a little concerned about is she seems to boil some. n not puking yet. Only seems to do it when I shut it off. I still have a head bolt leaking some. but don't think she's leaking internally. Shes not smoking or any thing other than the normal. She starts really easy. Gonna check fluids tomorrow. Quote
Jereme6655 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 She may be idling high either because the idle is set too high or because the bike is running a little lean (remember 2 strokes like to rev when they lean out) If you look at the top of the carb boxes (TORS) there should be a large screw/knob on the top.........this is your factory idle adjust. Mke sure to adjust them equally. Quote
