runts Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 Hey everyone I am new to banshee but know alittle common since about anything and what is wrong is the banshee has 34mm keihin carbs on it and the bowl hits the little clutch plate I dont know what its called but its right under neath the carb bowls and what it does is when you let the clutch out it hangs on the bowls. The bowls are setting to LOW. Please help Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 im not really sure how you would go about fixing that. maybe by havin smaller carbs on it because stock banshee carbs dont hit. would have a hydraulic clutch help? i say this just because i had one and i liked it alot better than the stock set up. i dont know if it would solve the problem or not. im guessin the only way to fix it is with smaller carbs.

itsaripper Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 Get on ebay and buy some reed spacers. Like about half inch ones. Put them on and they will raise the carbs up to miss the clutch release arm. They will also give you some better throttle response. Quote
Meat Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 Iv heard you can remove the drain bolt on the bowl and then seal it up with some epoxy or JB weld kinda stuff. Quote
bluestreak01 Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 TAke your bowl off on that side and grind the nut head down i did the same thing to mind works perfect but dont grind it to much just enough to clear the clutch arm. Quote
SICK BOY Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 The people I know that had this problem fixed it with reed spacers. Quote
Aussie Quad Racer Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 reed spacers or custom manifolds will get you out of trouble Quote
runts Posted January 11, 2004 Author Report Posted January 11, 2004 OK thanks guy Ill try to get some reed spacers as soon as I can and again thanks again. Quote
Proquad101 Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 Go to NOSS MACHINE and get some reed spacers, that will cure the problem. Quote
Minkia38 Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 reed spacers will solve the problem - BUT with spacers, you lose a few HP, but gain a little torque - from the words of Dynoedge racing. I've seen alot of the ground down bowl bolts - and that works too - my 34mm carbs are just normal, and i just let the clutch arm hit it - it moves it maybe a mm or so - but i live with it Quote
909 Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 im with minkia, i have 35s and am too lazy to pull 'em to gring the head down so I just refrain from using the clutch Quote
SYRacingInc. Posted January 17, 2004 Report Posted January 17, 2004 Adding spacers will increase the crankcase compression ratio which will give a more mellow power hit. Quote
