dajogejr Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 A. Do a search. B. Get a Clymers.... Seriously, it's not tough at all..but, no one is going to write 3 or 4 paragraphs of a walkthrough...I"m sure it's already been done. Quote
platinumjason Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 Very easy indeed. I have never rejetted my Banshee until about a month ago and just tore it apart and saw what I had and just swapped out my mains and pilots. Quote
arlis Posted September 1, 2006 Author Report Posted September 1, 2006 how about needle i hear that is hard to get to!!! Quote
dajogejr Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 GET a Clymers.... It explains it all in there.... You basically have to scrunch down the spring, flip it upside down so the retainer clip falls out...then shimmy the cable out. Two phillips screws hold the cable tower down. Remove 'em...remove the needle...change the clip, then reverse this order. If you are able to put pipes on and remove the airbox...you can jet your carbs. Quote
LiftdT4R Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 not to doubt any members' advice, and it just might be me, because I'm not the swiftest, but I had a hard time jetting carbs, especially 2 of them. It seemed hard for a while to get the air screws, mains, pilots, everything right. The kyt for me was understanding how a carb actually works. I always skipped over that in Clymers, and until I actually read it and understood it, I had a tought time. Understand it first, and then go from there. Quote
dajogejr Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Very fine point indeeed. There's a jetting FAQ as well at the top, which explains the different circuits of the carb...so you know what/how you're jetting will be effective in relation to the throttle postion opening... Quote
Ducman Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 BenBB Jetting FAQ This is a great jetting how to article. You need 27.5 pilots air screws 1.5 turns out Needle on the 3rd clip from the blunt end (no needle adjustment needed from stock). 310 main jets Dont forget to reconnect the choke tube between the carbs, that gets nuebies every time. Leave the carbs connected to the cables, just pop them out to the side, take off the bowles, change main and pilot jets and adjust air screws and you'll be good to go in a half an hour as long as you dont F-up.

Bens how to is the best and easiest to understand, IMO. Print it out and keep it in your clymers. Read it all and then read it again. As far as 310's with clamp ons I would suggest something in the 340 range. I ran 310'a with a pro design foam filter and no lid. 340 or so and you'll be good to go. Quote
Mad Max Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 BenBB Jetting FAQ Leave the carbs connected to the cables, just pop them out to the side Don't forget that both slides will fit both carbs- The cut out on the bottom of the slide goes towards the airfilters Quote
