gatesy Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 Mine was doing this, I think it is moisture causing the carb too stick. Mine was only doing it after going through puddles or riding in heavy rain. I just used a bit of silicon around the top of the carb and where the cable goes in, I havent had a problem since. May or may not work for you but seems to work for me Quote
gatesy Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 the banshee carb is a VM26 and yes you can get chrome slides for them(here in aus anyway). I have a set of chrome slide for a set of vm34 carbs 148311[/snapback] Where did you get them from. Your the only other aussie I have come across on this site Quote
Aussie Quad Racer Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 i got them from the local bike wreckers. I completely solved the problem by using a single 34mm mikuni flatslide powerjet carb Quote
Shee-Male Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 The RZ had a choke tube too and I can't imagine there's be a runaway 2stroke street bike without the factory making some very obvious changes!!! 127961[/snapback] Befor I ripped apart the Rz I bought for the engine, I took it for a ride in the parking lot in the rain and the carbs stuck just like my banshee's just not as severe, I think the RZ airbox helps prevent it, if you've ever seen on it would make you giggle at the obstical corse to the carbs. I think someone needs to try 2 right side carbs w/o choke and see? Oh ya, the rz carbs are also fed oil via the pump. Quote
ROB Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 Purchased a new 2005 about 6 months ago.. I had removed the TORS, Re-Jetted, T-6's, K&N..etc... Silconed the throttle cables at the point of entry to the carbs to keep out moisture...Still stuck wide open, until I feathered the throttle... It was really starting to piss me off... Until a riding buddy, had similar problems, he took his slides out.. There is a black coating on the slides (not on older models). Took a fine grit sand paper and sanded the black off until it was bare metal. Did not stick after that... I did the same. Rode this past weekend.. First time I had ridden it (through mud & water) with the slides sanded... Needless to say, they did not stick once!! Quote
TheBansheeMan86 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Posted January 11, 2006 Didn't read any other replies on here, but if it hasn't been said, I just put stiffer springs in my carb slides LOL! Quote
