dirtbike77 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 alright heres the problem im fixing my 99 banshee.... just put a fresh top end and gaskets, brand new spark plugs, cleaned carbs and etc... the bike is bored .30 over with t-5 pipes and silencers.... the bike will not idle? you have to keep playing with the throttle to keep it runnin.... its kinda bogs down a lil bit when starting out but once you get in second gear it rips? i already cleaned te carbs twice? checked and cleaned the pilot jets.... i tried adjusting the idle the float hieght,, and at ties when the you rev it up to keep it running , its stays up reving high and evenutally cuts off suddenly? i tried adjusting the air screws, even doing the plug chops to check the color and its like a dark carmel color? when the bike is running i sprayed around the motor checking for vacum leaks and she's air tight?

okbeast Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 Try to adjust the throttle cable some up at the throttle housing, mine was at the point where it wouldn't idle and when I adjusted it I went too far and had your high revving symptoms, just play around with it till you get it almost right and then do the fine tuning.

Handyman Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Did iyo uadjust your jetting after you bored it out?? I had to pyut in a bigger pilot after i bored mine out. i went from stock to a 27.5 pilot...I was having the same problem you had(or at least one of my problems) Went to the bigger pilot and now it idles like a dream. Also might want to list what engine mods you have for us to help you out better. Edited November 15, 2006 by Handyman Quote
dajogejr Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Do you have the TORS removed or still on? If Off, did you replace the carb caps and drill/tap your carbs for the idle screws? Plug chops won't help the idle circuit...which is the air screw and pilot jet. Try pulling the choke out half way when it's warmed up, and see if it will idle. If it does, chances are you need to turn your air screws in further, or...you need to bump the pilot up one. What are ALL your mods, including air box, no airbox, lid, etc. Riding temps and elevation. Current jetting you have in it....and the question above about the TORS. Quote
