won't idle

[fast@$$rider]

okay i just got my banshee and it won't idle i think it is just the idle srews but i do not know how to adjust them. and also when i twist the throttle the right carb slide comes up slightly faster than the other one is this a problem and if so how do i fix it. PICTURES WOULD BE NICE THANK YOU.

First off, I would pull the carbs off and clean them, so you can be sure to eliminate that problem. You mentioned that you just got the bike? The pilots are very easy to clog. And then, the bike receives no fuel on the idle circuit. To adjust the slides, I am assuming you have the TORS removal kit, because you said "twist the throttle". In order to have a twist throttle, you have to have the kit. So, on the top of the carb, there should be adjusters where the cable comes in. Open the throttle, and look into the little windows on the sides of the carbs. You will see an indentation on the carb that should show through the window(s) at almost WOT. Adjust those adjusters untill both slides are in the same spot on either carb. Then, you can adjust your idle with the idle screws. These are the ones with the locknuts on them, located on the side of the carb.

I had this same problem when I got done with a rebuild and came to find out that I had the slides reversed (slide for right carb in left carb and vicea versa). After switching them back I didn't have another problem at all with the bike idleing.

well i got it to idle thanks guys b ut now i have to pull the carbs apart because i found out the floats are stuck i found this out by leaving the fuel on and i came back and lost about a gallon of fuel in my yard.
