banshee#1 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 Hey i have a banshee with t-5's cool head 20cc domes trinity 2 in 1 carb 33mm vforce reeds k&n no lid my main is at 190 right now and its bogging a lttle and not being very responsive what should i do i have a 180 , 200 which would be bettr thanks Quote
dajogejr Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 Well...what do your plugs say. I don't have kehin carbs (yet...) but...from what I've read around here, your mains seem very rich. Normally...they are in the 150 to 170 range. However, you do have a 1 into 2. I'd start with a set of fresh plugs, go for a WOT rip, then see how they look (plug chop)... Plugs don't lie... Quote
banshee#1 Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Posted May 30, 2006 so would the 180 be better im also at sea level at 75 degreees or should i should all the way to a 170? Quote
differentstrokes Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 I don't have any experience with a 2 into 1 yet, but I will soon since I just bought one off of a site member. I'd personally try the 180 before the 170 cause I'd rather be a little rich instead of lean and work my way down. JMO Quote
banshee#1 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Posted May 31, 2006 its spuddering alot with the 190 would 180 stop the spuddering? Quote
dajogejr Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Do a plug chop. Sputtering could be caused by a few things... If the plugs are dark...or rich...then, leaning it out would be logical. However, old plugs, dirty air filter, bad reeds, failing or faulty electronics...and others, could cause this. Quote
banshee#1 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Posted May 31, 2006 lean it out by goin down in jet sizes correct, bc the gas mix is perfect Quote
dajogejr Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Yep...lower the jet number, the leaner it is... Quote
banshee#1 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Posted May 31, 2006 i just put a 180 in it nd its revving very hard does this mean its too lean or good very snappy Quote
dajogejr Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Again...check your plug. Search for a plug chop, follow the instructions.... Quote
RILS Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Run it wide open for a ways then cut it off with out lugging it pull the plugs if they are tan to light brown ur allright if its light tan to white ur lean if its dark brown to black ur rich. Quote
dajogejr Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 That's wrong advice for a plug chop. New plugs can take a while to color... Basically...warm the bike up with old plugs. Put new ones in. Do a WOT run (Wide Open Throttle) 1st through at least 5th gear. KIll the ignition, hold the throttle open...and coast back. Pull the plugs. Cut, hacksaw or grind off the threads, exposing the porcelin. There should be a light brown ring around the base of the exposed ceramic...about a 2mm ring. If it's light, it's lean...black or dark...it's rich. Looking at colored porcelin at the end of the tip, near the electrode, is not the best way... Quote
