exxxtreme Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 if im pulling the carbs is there a much better needle to run. or is the stock needle perfect for a stock banshee ( fmf exhaust only upgrade) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppedupandcutdown Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 if im pulling the carbs is there a much better needle to run. or is the stock needle perfect for a stock banshee ( fmf exhaust only upgrade) Nothing wrong with the stock needle,IMO. Carb slides and bowls are side specific. The slides will go in the wrong carb backwards, and the left bowl is drilled for a choke jet so it has the BB stuck in the hole on the outer bottom.

special06shee Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Pull reeds and inspect them! If a reed peddle is cracked or broken you will have zero bottom end or mid range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 While you're cleaning them check jet size and post that up. Could be wrong jetting. Also, every machine is different, all things being equal, one might like 1 1/2 turns, the next 1 3/4 turns. It's called tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
