biggun6ss Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Finally got my bike running good and not lean. Only problem is when I sit and try to idle, warm or cold, it dies in about 5-10 sec. I still have the stock pilot jet. Do I need to bump it up to a 27.5. Also, abouth how far open should my slides be. I think I have them at about an 1/8 of an inch open maybe a little more. Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 your stock pilots should be fine, try adjusting your air screws. Quote

Bottom out the slides and raise them back up 1 full turn and go from there. your idle should be very close. If you have to raise or lower the idle, do both sides evenly. Quote
biggun6ss Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Posted October 5, 2005 what are your main jets @? 422823[/snapback] I am running 310 as mains. I am at 3000-3200 ele and about 80 degrees. I tried 280-290 and my plugs were white. So I had to bump them up. Quote

midnite Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) 2 1/4 turns out with #25 pilots is very lean. I had a similar problem where I had a weak power from idle to 1/8th throtle with 27.5 pilots at 2 turns out. I made it a little better enriching the curcit by going to just 3/4 of a turn out. Finally tried #30 pilots at 1 1/2 turns out, and the lack of off idle power disapeared, I got a strong idle, and stronger power from idle to 1/8th throttle. I suppose you don't need to change pilots, as most banshees spend most of there time in the needle jet and main jet curcits, but if you want the idle to 1/8th throttle curcit jetted properly you need bigger pilots. Anyway, at 3000ft elevation, you might get by with #25 pilots at 3/4 to 1 turn out on the air screws. Personally I would try 27.5 at 1 1/2 to 2 turns out. JMO Edited October 7, 2005 by midnite Quote
