What is your elevation and ambient temperature? Try to explain the problem with your bike, I'm sure we'll be able to get you sorted. From now on you better take everything that fool told you with a pinch of salt... Quote
Schizo Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 If it has always run great before then most likely jetting is not your problem. Could be broken reeds, dirty carbs/air filter or possibly an air leak. Quote

Bansheeman1121 Posted September 18, 2004 Author Report Posted September 18, 2004 I have the carbs apart now but i cant get the throttle cable back on the slide.... Its to dam hard to put the spring in then the cable then that little metal thig its drivin me nuts Quote
National Banshee Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 What alltitude are you riding at? It is odd that it worked well before, your jetting should't have changed. We have set up new Banshees with FMF Fatty's,everything else stock, at 3000FT alltitude and had to go down to 230 to make it run right, BUT THAT IS AT 3000FT ALTITUDE ONLY. Quote

Its to dam hard to put the spring in then the cable then that little metal thig its drivin me nuts Compress the spring then zip tie them so you dont have to hold on to them....it makes that job a whole lot easier.

If you don't have zip ties, use the little wire thingies you find on the plastic bag of a loaf of bread. Remember that the hole on the retainer plate inside the slide must be clear. Look inside the slide, you'll see what I mean. Quote
