yamahakid1 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 when i purchased my banshee it came with the tors kit removed and new carb tops. well im wondering if the 2 brass screw, 1 on each carb is the idle screw or the air/mixture screw. please help im very confused, the only thing on the side of the carbs as far as an adjustabvble screw is that. it is a brass color.

As a test, when you screw it in does the idle change? The only other brass screw heads you should be able to see would be flush mounted, and they are the pilot air screws. I bet you are looking at the idle screws. Quote
FasterThanU90 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 yes the brass ones are the idle screws i have mine out 5 1/2 turns Quote
2003LimitedBanshee Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 yes the brass ones are the idle screws i have mine out 5 1/2 turns 457007[/snapback] What? The idle screws are set by holding the throttle at the desired engine rpm, threading the idle screws in until they raise the rpm just slightly, and then backing off about 1/4 turn. I'm not sure how you could have a set 5 1/2 turns out, it's more just when it's right, it's right. Quote
Banchetta Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 yes the brass ones are the idle screws i have mine out 5 1/2 turns 457007[/snapback] They are both brass. One is flush mounted and the other sticks out a 1/2". Quote

Thats why I use a flashlight and look inside the intake and adjust them equally. I move them down until they bottom out, then move them back up 1/4 turn...Good way to sync them as well as a nice idle... Quote
FasterThanU90 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Posted January 9, 2006 talking about the screws on the side that replace the ones on top of the tors i thought this is what the whole topic was about excuse me if im wrong Quote

Unlike the pilot air screw which will be .5 - 2.5 turns out from fully seated (closed), the idle screw doesn't really have a set 5.5 turns. They should be set by backing all the way off, holding the idle at the appropriate rpm, running the idle screws in until they bottom against the slide, raise the rpm just slightly, then back the screws out approx. 1/4 turn.

Not to be confused with the pilot (idle) jetting air screws. But I'm sure some others will weigh in and set one of us straight. Quote

2003LimitedBanshee Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 k chek it out I is the idle screw P is pilot and cable adjuster is on top 457483[/snapback] Exactly! I've got that covered... we must just be missing on the explaining part, cuz we're both talking about the same part. Quote

We are ONLY talking about the different between idle and pilot screws...How did the cable adjusters get thrown into this???? I mentioned before about syncing the idle and idle adjusters, not cable...
