banshee boy 98 Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Posted March 18, 2004 ok i just cleaned the carbs....both piolets were pluged up. jetting is now piolet 30 main 280. air screw is 1 1/2 turns out. starts and runs TONS better, but it still poping out the silencers. i just had the frame painted and i cleaned the grounds but i wonder if the are not clean enough??? its kinda like it looses spark for a second and then it fires giving it a pop. i havent rode it yet to see what will happen? could it a bad coil? i have 2 other banshees that i can try the coil from? any other ideas? also the carb bowls were on correctly, the bowl with the little jet is on the left.

bigboybanshee Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 could it a bad coil? i have 2 other banshees that i can try the coil from? That could be a safe assumption Quote
banshee boy 98 Posted March 19, 2004 Author Report Posted March 19, 2004 ok it is lean on the main. now i have to track down some larger jets. i went to local bike shop and they didnt have any thing bigger than 280 i'am going to find some 310 jets somewere on friday.!!!!!!! Quote
Banchetta Posted March 20, 2004 Report Posted March 20, 2004 The popping at an idle could be caused from your carbs being out of sync...I'd raise the needles one clip also... Quote
banshee boy 98 Posted March 20, 2004 Author Report Posted March 20, 2004 it is poping only when you have it from 3/4-wot Quote
Banchetta Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 I played w/ JKJK's shee w/ T5 pipes and those like some huge mains...I was up to a 350 and they were still borderline of lean, but passable. This was at sea level and 70 degrees out....so if I were you, I'd go straight to 350-360 at sea level and go from there.... Quote
banshee boy 98 Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Posted March 21, 2004 i put 310 mains in it and it made it worse. i think i might have an electrical problem? when you ride it at wot it sounds like the egnition it breaking up??like it is against a revlimiter???so i put the 280 mains back in it and it is a little better but still not right!!

badlarry Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 My bike did the same thing. I removed the lid and it almost threw me off the back the first time i wacked it. I never got the jetting tuned perfectly and it melted a piston. lol Quote
Banchetta Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 Sounds like you another problem besides jetting....Is the tors still connected? Little black box above the left exhaust?? Disconnect that and the parking brake switch on the handlebars, follow that towards the gas tank to a connector and disconnect it...make sure the equalizer tube between the carbs (1/4"x2") is still on also...

banshee boy 98 Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Posted March 21, 2004 i think i found the problem....i think the magenets in the fly wheel are broken. i took the flywheel off and if you shake it it sounds like little parts are mooving around in it???? i'am going to pull the flywheel from the other banshee to see what happens??? are fly wheels different from year to year??? some people say they are some say all the same???

Banchetta Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 As far as I know they are the same...sounds like you sheared the key, that'll put your timing way off and cause the problem....let us know what happened. Quote
sredish Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Hey man, I was gone over part of the weekend. Glad to hear your getting close to the root of the problem. Those electrical problems can be a bitch, you get your jetting all screwed up to find something else is the problem. Good luck and keep us in the loop. Quote
Banchetta Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 what about the tors?? little black box?? parking brake switch?? Quote
