MessyJesse69 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 I'm looking into advance timing plates. As I need a new startor because my banshee is cutting out at high revs. I have a .40 bore and stock pipes. Single uni air filter. Will +5 timing give me any extra power? Quote
VegasJeff Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Change the stock pipes out and the timing plate at the same time. Check the pick up gap and jet accordingly. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Also, you mention you are looking at plates and stators. Be very leary of the stator and cast plate combos. STAY AWAY FROM: RM Rick's Rickey Stator Electro Sport Racetech (suit your self folks, mine didn't work and I had to fix the replacement as well) Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 While this may be a stator issue you might wanna try to replace your spark plug caps with new ones first. Bad caps can have it break up bad/cut out in the high rpms. The caps are not expensive. Some suggest cutting back a lil bit on the wire before installing new caps to get a good connection. Quote
MessyJesse69 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Posted January 25, 2015 I've already cleaned carbs and changed plugs. New pipes aren't an option as I'm not made of money. I sold my dynoport 2:1 to get the stockers. So what do you mean by stay away from cast stator and plates? Quote

trickedcarbine Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 So what do you mean by stay away from cast stator and plates?Do not buy a plate that is cast aluminum. Make sure to get a Billit one. They are 20-30 bucks more, however they prevent catastrophes that are known to happen with the cheaper junk powder cast cheapos. Quote
salmon_slayer06 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 I modded my stock plate. The OEM stators are the best ones. Look online for a working used one. Make sure you seal the stator side engine cover with RTV even though it has a gasket. I've had problems in the past with water getting behind there. May have been the reason why I killed a stator last summer. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 Modded stocker is also a viable option Quote

MessyJesse69 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 Not the cutting out. With my current setup will it improve performance? I'm not worried about cutting out I know my stator is taking a poop. Quote

I'm not worried about cutting out I know my stator is taking a poop.Did you ever check the plug caps/boots? It's more common for them to do what you're saying than a stator. Quote
MessyJesse69 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Posted January 28, 2015 How would I check them? When I tore the motor apart last time stator was in ruff shape. I cleaned it up best I could. Looked like water seeped into the case on that side Quote
MessyJesse69 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Posted January 28, 2015 Can you answer my question about the advanced timing? If my bike is running fine. With stick pipes .40 bore and single foam filter with box and lid with holes in it. No snorkel will the advanced timing make it worth the cost? Quote
