Scrubtherubber Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Been having trouble jetting my new banshee, mods are fmf fatties w power cores, kn air filter with adapter, v force 4, tors eliminator. I've tried many different jettings right now I'm at 320 mains, 32.5 pilots, and needle clip 4, and af screw at half turn out. It has a bog to the point of stalling right off idle if I lean out the af screw at all I thought I needed a bigger pilot but even after going from 30 to 32.5 it hasnt madea difference. Really starting to pull my hair out has no air leaks, 134 compression both sides, any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lms1977 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I would think 260-280 main 27.5 pilots would be a good start. Maybe your going the wrong way. Both of the carbs opening the same and synched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 thats a big ole pilot and mains whats your elevation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubtherubber Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yeah they seem synced as far as visually and by feel, I also forgot to add on the first post that it only runs with the air box lid off if I put it on it really dies out on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I would think 260-280 main 27.5 pilots would be a good start. Maybe your going the wrong way. Both of the carbs opening the same and synched? X2 27.5 is a stone cold lock on the pilot. Main won't be any bigger than a 280. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubtherubber Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 500 ft abov sea level, 40 degrees outside ( I know isn't helping) I tried the fmf suggested jets at 260 main 27.5 pilot and it idles mint but any throttle kills it. I've been at it a while tried every main from 200 to 330, and combinations of 25 thru 32.5 pilots. Bought new vforce cages and gaskets thinking it has to be air leak, new intake boots, new carb to box boots, needles in every position. Haven't been able to run it enough to plug chop but plugs aren't fouling at all. Another thing it doesn't seem to get hot at all I'll idle it for 15 minutes and can touch the headers with just a slight warmth to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubtherubber Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I was thinking electric because nothing I do on the jet side seems to change the outcome bike appears to have a timing plate with numbers on it so I'm assuming that's aftermarket?

CFH87 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 How many kicks it take to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j stang Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Are your slide in the right carbs make sure the half moon cut out is facing towards the rear of your bike and the bowls go on one way also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubtherubber Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Starts and idles 1 kick, slides are in correct its weird it ran mint after I drained the carbs to check th floats they seemed in spec then after taking it for a run around the block it started bogging again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubtherubber Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Actually now thinking of it there is 2 different slides one has 2 square cut outs on the top, the other only has one is it possible they are in the wrong sides? I did hav them both off for the tors eliminator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrubtherubber Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Gonna peel the harness and rewire it the parking brake cable is gone and I saw a cut wire that after tracing is going to th felt front headlight so at least if nothing comes out of the running issue I found out why the headlight doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
