gregbowler Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 About 3 months ago I bought my first banshee. It's a 97 that was bone stock, even stock tires. When I bought it it would run but leaked gas from the overflows so I ordered 2 kits and rebuilt the carbs using the new needles,needle jets and removed the tors. At the same time I added carbon tech reeds and a proflow w/K&N in the factory air box with lid and snorkel. The problem is now at mid throttle only under lite load it will backfire out of the right side. Plugs look the same from side to side. Needle clip is in the stock location and mains are 200. Help!!

CadillacBanshee Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 You need to rejet and adjust your needle a bit. Quote
sand rocket Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 sound like a intake air leak. Check all the gaskets on that side. Quote
gregbowler Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Posted February 26, 2006 What size mains and which way to move the needle clip? Quote
gregbowler Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Posted February 26, 2006 I ripped the reed block gasket when installing the reed blocks but replaced both of them to be sure. Should there be a gasket between the intake and reed block ? Quote
fastbanshee4u Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 You added more air flow now you cant stay with the stock 200 jets. Quote
gregbowler Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Posted February 26, 2006 So what size should I start with ? Quote
Wicked98Shee Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 (edited) I would try 210 main and 4th clip from the blunt end of the needle, if it plug chops fine, but ya end up with a sluggish midrange go back to the 3rd clip on the needle with a 1/2 step washer under the clip. also run at 1/2 throttle and do a plug chop to see where your at. also make sure your carbs are in sync Edited February 26, 2006 by Wicked98Shee Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 What size mains and which way to move the needle clip? 479146[/snapback] I would try 230-240 mains,and put the cilp 4th from top.also remove the snorkel and cut the back of the lid to the clips. Quote
sand rocket Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 I ripped the reed block gasket when installing the reed blocks but replaced both of them to be sure. Should there be a gasket between the intake and reed block ? 479150[/snapback] Should be gaskets on intake to reed, and reed to cylinder. Quote
gregbowler Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Posted February 28, 2006 Are you sure ? The banshee microfiche doesn't show one. Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Are you sure ? The banshee microfiche doesn't show one. 480177[/snapback] you need gaskets on both sides. Quote
sand rocket Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Just added insurance!! I dont use gaskets, I use the black rtv silicone on them. Sure makes it a bithch to get apart. I did intake to spacer, spacer to reed, reed to cylinder. Quote
