dano3 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 5 minutes ago, 2 jugs are better than one said: Ok good to hear that’s what I was hoping to hear. I’m not gonna mess with anything tell spring now, I want warmer temps and if it runs good come that time I would like to do the tors delete bc that crap on top is a pain in the a$$ wow! as for pictures they look crappy when I resize them but the walls were spotless! The top of the pistons looked like coffee stain color and smooth 👌 also yes I did get my hands on flat o rings for both carb caps 👍 also screws were around 1.5 turns out prior to this all. OK, if you have jetting to compensate for the colder temps it would be fine but first step is to determine what your jetting is lol. TORS delete kit makes everything easier for sure. And i wanted to see the pistons to see if the lower compression side has signs of pitting from being lean but sounds like they didnt.

No it was smooth all around both cylinders and pistons. On another note my issue of fuel coming from the over flow that was not adjusted at all but I put new float valve/seal all in it and it’s doing the same thing still. Think it will fix itself this coming summer and flush out while riding our should I pull them dang carbs for the 3rd time 🤪.. also what about a inline fuel filter? And if so what microns would be good to keep any sand/crap out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont have any air leaks your lean condition is either from a fuel supply issue/plugged jet or passage, or caused by jetting and temp changes. I would pull the carbs and really go through them and clean all the passages and make sure float height was set correctly. especially since you dont know what jets you are running. When i clean carbs i pull out all the brass and blow carb cleaner through every passage i can get too using the straw on the spray nozzle. If you have junk in your tank then drain/flush it out and fill with fresh mixed fuel. I dont run a fuel filter to ensure i dont restrict fuel flow but maybe someone else can share their experiences with them. I have seen them for sale on FAST racing so if you really think you need one then buy that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 If you want to ride your banshee even in the winter and not worry about these kinds of problems, get a single carb Less floats to set/get stuck and less jets to plug, the stock carbs are junk anyway especially units with tors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 jugs are better than one Posted December 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) It warmed up to 40* yesterday so I put fresh gas in it with amsoil dominator and I mixed it to 32:1 like the last owner said he did. But the bottle says to mix it 50:1..the bike did run but it acted lean but smokes constantly. Should I mix 50:1 or use a different oil that’s 32:1 mix instead? The smoke was white Edited December 14, 2018 by 2 jugs are better than one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaFreak Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Which ratio do you want to run, 32:1 or 50:1? Way I have always looked at it, 32:1 is for people using 1 or 2 gallon gas jugs. And 40:1 if for people using 5 gallon gas jugs. Which ever ratio you pick, stick with it and jet for it.

SKEETER Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Wtf does size of gas jug have to do with oil ratio !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaFreak Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 If you knew math, you would easily see. It is all about ease of mixing. 5 gallon at 40:1 is 16oz. This is either a full pint or half a quart bottle of premix. 32:1 is 4oz per gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure they are genuine mikuni jets, ive seen jetting issues arise with knock off jets. -27.5 pilot with air screw half turn out would be a safe place to start if all you have is pipes and small stuff like that imo buying a single carb setup because you cant get the stockers to run is a waste of money sounds like user error to me Edited December 14, 2018 by Ayesully810 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
