shamial101 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 My banshee just got a full engine rebuild and has a new athena 392 big bore kit on it. It starts up fine I have to pull in the choke and give it a little throttle and it'll start up in a couple kicks. The problem is it is leaking gas after a couple minutes of running. Sometimes I can hear it about to turn off and I give it gas and it stays on. i am pretty new to banshees and I don't know what to do. The shop says I need new carbs since these are worn out.

kawa110 Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Stock carbs? Replace the seats, needle valve and ensure float height is correct. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qliphoth Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 i had similar problem inclusive missfires on the clutch side, which also caused less smoke-exaust on that site in idle. purchased a Moose carbs rebuild kit, at least the leaking was gone, but missfires were still there. so i purchased a pair of used OEM Carbs, which were actually meant for Tors delete. i swapped over the carb rebuild kit to the "new" carb, only the pilot jet i leaved in its place, after that, the missfires were finally eliminated. i knew it was the pilot jet, but i couldn't explain, why the jet always got clogged by dirt particles. maybe this carb was worn out too. i don't know!

Probably need new needle valves and adjust the floats. This is a 10 minute total process. Anyone with a screw driver and ruler can do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
