Bsheetoy Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 Hi there I have 2002 banshee. It has T6pipes, boysen reeds,reeds spacers,boost bottle Carbs are stock , needles set at 3rd clip. I am at sea level. Temp outside 85 degress High humidy. I have put every jet from 310to 260 and still have big bog from 1/4 to 3/4 throttle. but does run better with 260s. Engine will rev up but you really got beat on it hard. I was thinking about going back to 270 and raising needle clip 1 slot to lean it out. This machine starts and idles perfect. compression is 125 equal on both sides . Any suggestions And the tors are disconnected Quote

I should make you read it very close but I'm not. Your changing the main jets to fix something only the needle can. The needle meters how much fuel flows through the main from 1/4 throttle to 3/4 throttle, but the needle is what you use to adjust that range. Put the 300 in there and then go up and down on the needle clips to find the best spot. Is it bogging from leanness or richness? Is it sputtery or flat bogging? I'd say go to the 4th clip then 5th and see if that helps, if not, go the other way. In all honesty, if your running strictly pods, the added flow at mid-throttle might be enough to constitute a needle taper change, but play with the clips and let us know. Read THIS to understand a little more on how to troubleshoot your jetting issues. Scott Quote
