promod80 Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 i took my banshee out a lil bit ago and man.....it ran like crap! It had no power at all.....i checked the compression and it was at 95psi and the other was at 115psi. What does this mean....one side was smokin and the other was not. Also. those little screws on the back of the carbs....what should they be set at? thanks for any help Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 From what I've read, never had this problem yet. I would thing that you need to rebuild your engine. I heard that a difference of 10 ment that it was time for a rebuild. I am sure someone else with experiance can better answer your question. When was the last time it was rebuilt? Quote
promod80 Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Posted December 17, 2003 i am not sure...i just bought it a month or so ago.....it is a 2002. That is why i didn't think it really needed a rebuild but hell i don't know Quote
promod80 Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Posted December 17, 2003 oh yeah.....do u think a .20 over bore and re ringed, well do u think i will be able to tell much of a difference? Quote
eehsnab2 Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 you are in serious need of re-build. Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 If you mean other then running like it should which has to be alot better then now. my guess is no. Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 Oh yeah I probably would do it soon so that you do not cause any other further problems. $$$$$$$$$ Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 damn thats alot of change between the 2 cylinders, you gonna need a rebuild. Quote
bansheewizard Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 yeah man your gonna need a rebuild mine did that when i blew it up smokin only one pipe, and you are gonna need to get it bored some so just go with .20 over your not gonna to tell a big difference but maybe a lil and dont just rering it it will only last bout a month just go ahead and put some pistions to while your there or it will cost a lot more and dont be a dumb ass like me and ride like a bat outta hell the first day you get it back and blow it up 2times in one week that really suck Quote
promod80 Posted December 18, 2003 Author Report Posted December 18, 2003 alright.....thanks for the input guys. I'll have to take it apart and get that done as soon as possible. I was expecting it to run like a bat outa hell but i new something was wrong when my buddy beat my ass on his Raptor! Quote
Banchetta Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 No doubt you need a rebuild. You also might want to find out what caused this...Are you still running the stock air filter and filter flange?? That would be the first problem. Get a K&N w/ flange for $90..Money well spent.. You might be able to clean it up w/ just .010 over..check w/ who your boring the cylinders w/...You won't notice any power gain w/ the boring, but will notice more power w/ the rebuild and higher compression...

promod80 Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Posted December 20, 2003 yea i still have the stock filter and flange.....why would that cause the engine to f**k up?? thanks Quote
Banchetta Posted December 20, 2003 Report Posted December 20, 2003 yea i still have the stock filter and flange.....why would that cause the engine to f**k up?? thanks The flange that holds the filter has a foam seal on the front where it mounts to the air box...sand will get by this and you'll notice your carbs will have sand in them. This sand will cause scratching and wear in the cylinders at a much faster rate...I've got almost 4 years now on my pistons and rings and only have a 3 psi lost on both cylinders.....A clean intake is crutial... thats why most shee owners will suggest the K&N w/ flange for the first mod..

ScreaminShee01 Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 i run prodesign filter and billet plate... good stuff Quote
