CARBERATOR HELP!

[Braden]

I NEED HELP WITH MY 01 BANSHEE, IT HAS FULL FMF EXHAUST, K&N, BOOST BOTTLE, JETS, VFORCE 3 REEDS AND POWERNOW VALVES. I HAD MY MECHANIC FRIEND TAKE IT TO HIS HOUSE TONIGHT AND HE FINALLY GOT IT TO FIRE BY KICKING IT BUT HE SAID THAT IT NEEDS TO BE SYNCRENIZED??? AND THAT HE DOESNT HAVE THE TOOLS OR THE SKILL TO DO THAT, THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY WHO OWNED 2 100+ MPHBANSHEES , THIS WAS WELL OVER FIVE YEARS AGO BUT ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

A gage is not necessary to sync your carbs.

 

What I like to do is to first get the cables in sync then the idle screws.

 

To start remove your filter so you can see the back of your carb slides. Then back out the the idle screws so they are not lifting the slides. At this point loosen up the lock not on the throttle cable where it hits the carb top and back cable adjuster to the point where when you loosen it the slide does not move downward. Do this for both sides.

 

At this point you need to look at the carb slides and gently press on the throttle to make sure the slides both move at the same time. If one moves before the other adjust the cable on top of the carb until both move at the same time. This may take some time but is essential in maintaining good throttle response. If you are satisfied that both move at the same time tighten up the cable lock nuts and to finalize check the slides one more time.

 

A this point the cable tension is pretty even. Now move to the idle screws. Adjust the idle screws the same way as the cabels so when you hit the gas they move at the same time. Now you are ready to ride.

 

 

PS; If you have stock carbs make sure the carb slides are in the right carb.

hey chris, thanks for the help, i got it back tonight and me and him were talking and he said he took the carbs completly apart and the right slide was in wrong so he put it back in right, put the right sized jet in and messed with the air screw, he got it to kick over which is good cuz it wouldnt start at all before, so basically my carbs all in tact, just maybe not dialed in/sync'd right, have you ever heard of those powernow valves, if not here is a link to them, http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDet...&brandId=75

 

 

this beast ran perfect before i put the reeds and powernow valves into it. HELP ME PLEASE i need to ride my banshee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
