2003LimitedBanshee Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well if it is gray, that would indicate that it is lean. You are wanting to shoot for a light chocolate milk type color. White/gray, is too lean, dark brown/black is too rich. However, when you say you weren't able to get it into 6th, do you mean you just ran out of space, or would it not clean out and pull through 6th? Because if it is the latter I wouldn't expect a gray (lean) plug color. Also make sure you are pulling both plugs, even though you are running a single carb, it is still possible to develop an airleak, say around one reed block. Sorry, don't have any experiece jetting the single 36mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003LimitedBanshee Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 is that wat happens wen u put parts on it runs leaner? 465650[/snapback] Not really that simple. But in this case yes. What you have done by adding the pipes, as well as the K&N's is increase the engines ability to take in and expel more air. You've "opened" it up so to say. Anytime you affect the engine's ability to intake or exhaust more or less air, you will have the basis for changing the jetting. If you are able to add parts, and the engine requires more fuel (would be leaner without jetting adjustments), this is a sign that you have increased the performance and power capability of the engine. I would think that dual 36mm would be really big for what you've done so far. Is the bike ported, or is it just filter and pipes so far. If nothing else has been done, you may actually be holding the performance down, as compared to stock carbs, for now. Even if you were ported on stock cylinders, I would think these would be kinda big (correct me if I'm wrong anybody), probably more appropriate if you were running Cubs or something along those lines. Good choice by the way on the pipes, you'll find they come highly recommended for many types of riding, a great all-around performance set of pipes. Lends well to future mods. Now it gets expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazaa187 Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 well i jus bought it like 2 months ago an the guy said it had a big bore kit so i cant say if it really does but the cylinder says ct racing on it an i looked up wat they did for banshee an they did porting a 370cc or 400cc so its one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRST BANSHEE Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 gray sounds lean to me,I would step up 4 sizes on the main and see how that does.I think the ct 370 kit is a long rod package,and the400 is a stroker. I'd call them and tell them your having trouble jetting there engine and need a starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix a tank of gas at 32:1, plugs will turn brown after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
