Slides wont close on carbs

[01bansheefox]

I put some 34mm carbs on my shee and for some reason the slides will not close they stay open maybe 3/4 of an inch im guessing they should be closed all the way correct? This is also why im guessing if i start the banshee it sounds like i have the throttle wide open. I am not sure how to adjust this i know it has something to do with the thottle cable and it seems to have extra slack.

make sure u adjust the idle screws..check the cable and look if they close ..if not my guess is that ur idle is too high ..

are they roundslides?if so they are make sure you don't have the slides in backwards.

Duh i have turned it all the way in and out, it doesnt change the slide.

2nd... Roundside carb?? Dont know what that is but the slides can only go in 1 way, for some reason because i tried it wont let me put them in the other way.

its either a damaged throttle cable,contaminated or damaged throttle lever, or incorrect throttle cable routing or adjustment or ur carbs just suck

So it does have something to do with the cable? My mechanic said the cable was not long enough... Then i went to the store with him and he picked a new one out and said it should be plenty long and when I got home it was the same exact size that was already installed. I did mess with the top of the carb where the cable goes in and it closed the slide quite a bit but i cant figure out the other carb now i have no clue what i did, one is open about 3/4'' and the other about 1/4'' or less,.

u dont have the tors right?

[01bansheefox]

There 34mm Mikuni dont only stock carbs have tors?

[FasterThanU90]

they can do u have any type of banshee book like a clymer or even the stock 1

[01bansheefox]

ya i got a book, would the problem maybe be in there? Similar with all carbs?

[FasterThanU90]

have u even opened it up? if u have the stock 1 it will tell u how to adjust ur cables and troubleshooting i dont feel like typin all that bullshit if u have a clymer manual like i got it is perfect tells u everything u need 2 kno and more plus full illustrations pick 1 up its a must have(and read the whole thing or at least up 2 chapter 3)

I have a clymer but i thought that was for a stock banshee, i dont really have anything stock anymore.

When installing bigger carbs you must replace the throttle cable with one that is recommended for the size, and brand of carbs your using. The stock length cable is simply not long enough.

 

Also have you tried adjusting the brass fittings on top of the carbs? If the carbs are still opened slightly you will have to screw the fittings all the way in. This will allow the cable to sit closer to the top of the carbs, letting the slides close further.

yes, the slides can only go in one way, but if you have the slides switched they will only go in backwards, I don't know what slides you have but if it has a cut out part that goes tward the airbox

Dont know about the bigger carbs but you can put the stocks in backwards. A buddy of mine did it.
