karab32 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hello, im a new members ! Just bought a banshee recently and everything was going fine tried it was running fine. one morning, i decided to go for a run and it was running prettry weird throttle was kinda sticking it was also throwing gas at every place possible. So i dissasemble, clean the carb, adjust pilot air screws, also synchronize the slide. i also checked if there was any airleak. I noticed my KN filter had to much oil so i cleaned it and i also notice a little piece of wood in the vforce so i inspect them eveything was fine. Motor have very good compression. i changed the carburetor gasket. Yesterday, tried to go for a run same problem so i retire air box open carb again everything was fine. while i was reassembling i noticed without air box that one of the slide was sticking like 2-3 mm higher than the other(the left one) I also realised that my caburetor slide on the left side was kinda used. the slide is completely or almost grey metal there isnt paint anymore on the right one there is more paint. i decided to buff it a little but is didnt do anything same problem. I also called yamaha dealer and the slide are kinda expansive. so now im asking if there is a solution carburator are very good and clean the wire is brand new but still sticking. i wondering if i can paint them with something or i dont know.. someone have any sugestion thank you !

tfaith08 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I had that problem with my left carb. I just took a file and beveled the cutout on the slide and rounded the pin off just a bit. Do you have wear on the pin? Have you oiled your cable recently? Is your adjustment nut on the other one stripped? Have you checked to see if the previous owner cut the springs to reduce pull? I have taken 200 grit sandpaper to some slides and slide cutouts in the past and it solved the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karab32 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Ok i'll try this do you beveled it alot? Cause i did it with sandpaper a little and it doesnt seem to change anything. Yes i oiled my cable recently. There is no strip on any adjustement I will check for the spring. And what pin do you mean? do you mean the jet needle ? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfaith08 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Only use the sandpaper to get the edges just a bit. The pin I'm referring to goes here: *NOT MY IMAGE* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2004LEBanshee Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I had same issues years ago. I took the carb apart and used fine steel wool and smoothed it out. Slide and body. Never had a prob again. You dont need the grey stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
