gatoman28 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hello everybody, I have a redundant question to ask. I bought the toomey T6 pipes, 2:1 HFFS I ride at Glamis, CA. the temp there during the day is about 75 degrees, during the night its about 50 degrees. The altitude there is about sea level, alittle below in some places, alittle above in others. I have wrote that I overheat, plus i have a loss of power also that I have to rev up alot so that i can move from a dead stop. I was told that I was running lean. that I should run 330 main jets with #30 pilot jets. i will also change my coolant to a better one in order to cool the bike more. I need your recommendations once again to make sure that I get eveything correct. Here are whats on my banshee: stock motor toomey t6 pipes 2 K&N filters w/outer wear (one on each carbs - RU0210) 280 main jets stock pilot jets I think they are #25 I removed the airbox Please give me your suggestions once again.

banshee tuner Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Your pilots is the biggest problem taking off, buy several main jets. You could run anything from those 280's to a 340. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatoman28 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 What pilot should I use for my application???? I want to run 330 or 320 main jets will this resolve my overheating??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Rod Todd Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I had the same set up. I was at sea level to 500 feet I ran. 320 main jet. stock needle 4th clip down from the top. some say stock location for the needle is ok. Mine seemed to run better on the 4th notch down. I also installed 27.5 pilot jets with the airscrews turned out 1.75 turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banchetta Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) I know the T5's like the 340-350 mains, needle 4th clip, stock pilot...I don't think the pilots will solve your issues....how does it start when cold? warm? if it starts up easy, then the pilots are good. Adjust the air screws and see where they like to be at..try .5 turn out, 1.5 turns out, then 2.5 turns out..the mains will help it pull harder on top and keep the motor cooler.. needles should help pull out of the hole..Run stock gearing or less w/ paddles.

gatoman28 Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I seem to have more trouble starting my banshee when cold, a minute or so. When warm it starts up right away. I have the needle at the 4th clip, needle is the one that came with the t6 pipe kit from toomey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
