CAJUN BANSHEE Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 What's a good epoxy for installing a powerjet? Replacing my old ones on my lectrons with billet ones. And just for the record, removing the old epoxy and jet is no picnic!! Quote
trickedcarbine Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 Billit power jets ehh.... Who makes those? Quote
CAJUN BANSHEE Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Posted June 29, 2013 Kevin at lectron fuel systems claim they're an upgrade. Said they are a better design. I've broke the brass hose barb off mine twice so he hooked me up with these. Should get em in next week, I'll post pics. Quote
J-Madd Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 JB weld works for me. People argue that alky breaks it down, but I have sealed up a hole in the bottom of a carb with it that's stayed sealed for years. Quote
camatv Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 devcon also. OR moroso a+b. that is alky safe. and MUCH cheaper and easier to use than the devcon alluminum putty.. i'd like to see pics of these billet PJ's also. in my experience the BEST power jet is the DMR but who knows if you can get those anymore at all.

CAJUN BANSHEE Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Posted July 2, 2013 Devcon Which one? I found the website but there's quite a few. Quote

I found the devcon but some reviews claim it's hard to mix, like a two part puddy. It's a tight spot between both jets. And I'll post pics as soon as I get it. Hopefully I didn't misunderstand what he sold me. Since yall never heard of the billet pj. Quote

If you end up needing help later on those Lectrons in a Banshee application, I'd highly recommend going to Packard. He's proven himself to be able to get them right. CAMATV on here too. But I've heard mixed reviews from going directly to Lectron in a Banshee application. Quote
Nieskes Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 Packard pretty much set mine up over the phone. When i got on the dyno I was only 1.5 turns off on my PJ and 1 turn on the rod. And that was starting from scratch! Quote
CAJUN BANSHEE Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks yall, I would like to talk to Packard or cam once I get to actually run this bike. It's just been one thing after another, not to mention the wife and I having twins 2 months ago. Not much banshee time, but I squeeze it in. Ha Quote
m671054 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 Are the powerjets threaded in or is the epoxy the only thing holding them in? If they thread in i wouldnt worry as much about alky compatablity. Im gonna try lock tight 5min epoxy on my next set. comes with mixing nozzle all you do is squeeze it out and apply. i have used plastic weld before on the bowl barbs with no problems. you should sent those abortions to dennis like we told you last time when you had the wrong needle and seats. btw, want to sell those 3.5? send me a pm if you do Quote
Deadbeat Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 Devcon Plastic Steel Putty is good stuff, it sets like rock and you can smooth it over nice with a bit of water before it sets Quote
Rotax Raptor Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 If you call Packard be prepared to talk for a while. He is a wealth of knowledge for what we do. Good Dude!!! Quote
