wade30 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Ok first i want to thank everyone on these boards for all their help This is my first banshee and everyone was a great help with helping me getting spark. Now I need help with the jetting. I have 87 shee. Bought it not running due to no spark. Have that fixed. now it starts and will idle, got it warmed up, put it in gear and went to take off and it bogs and dies. Fuel is spitting out the left pipe. pulled the plugs just to have a look, and the left is wet and light tan/brown? I'm colorblind. the right is brown/black and has drop of fuel on metal where strap connects. I bought it from a guy who was running it in Michigan. I'm in ohio, about 900ft elevation, around 40-50 degrees right now. It is stock as far as i know, except he had the boost bottle put on. The air filter is covered with a nylon cover in stock box and lid. I have cleaned the carbs. They have 220 mains, 25 pilots and air screws are 2 turns out, stock needle, clip on 2nd from top. I put them back together how they were originally set up. carbs are synched. crossover tube is installed. I just want to know if you can help me on why I'm spitting fuel, and what kind of jetting I should have for my location and temp at this time. Something to get me in the ball park. Thanks alot in advance everyone Quote
810darren Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 mains and pilot are correct but the stock needle position is 3rd clip not 2nd.im in flint michigan my elevation is 800 ft.is the needle 2nd clip from bottom our top of needle if its 2nd from bottom twards were needle meets the seat at the main then its probly running rich thus letting to much fuel in from quarter to 3 quarters throttle.

wade30 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Posted March 14, 2006 ok had carbs out again and checked reeds and reed cages while i was at it. Those were ok. I checked float level on left carb and was 1-2mm high so i re set that. the right carb float was sticking when i'd tilt it back and forth, so i turned the float needle around on the float tab, and that seemed to fix it. i'm gonna move the clips to the 3rd slot on both sides today, put everything back together and see how she does wish me luck Quote
wade30 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Report Posted March 14, 2006 Well thanks for all the help! I got her running good I adjusted the float on the left side, and moved the clips on the needle to the 3rd groove Now she takes right off in first no bog, no dying on me. I think alot of the fuel coming out the left side was from when i had the wrong pilot in, I lifted her up, and dumped a bunch of fuel out of the left pipe. Then took her out and haven't seen anything out of the pipe. Didn't get her out of first gear cause of location right now, but I felt her kick into the power band My first two stroke and first banshee, she's gonna scream! Well again thanks for all the help Banshee HQ rocks! Quote
