CadillacBanshee Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Today at el mirage i was racing all day and when i got home to clean my bike i noticed that there was oil dripping from my left carb where it meets the boot and both cylinders where they meet ther header. I was gonna put hose clamps to replace the stock clamps on the boots, is that ok? For the exhaust, im stumped. What can i do? Quote

If you have crap coming out of the carb boot, you may very well have an air leak. Putting regular hose clamps on them is ok, but the stock clamps should be satisfactory. As for the oil coming out of the exhaust, what ratio of gas to oil are you useing? What type of oil are you using? Have you noticed the level of the gear oil in the transmission dropping lately? Is your bike jetted correctly? Quote

CadillacBanshee Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 Where can i get the exhaust rings? My engine is running a little rich. I'm gonna try to lean up the jets one size and put regular hose clamps on the carbs. I also have toe repack my silencers. Quote

They would prob have to order it for you like a Yama-Dealer would or you can go to Glendale to Sandtoyz Unlimited where they have everything Banshee & stock up on all you need. Quote
CadillacBanshee Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Posted March 21, 2007 Found the problem. The exhaust ring was all chewed up. I have never replaced it and have been through 3 rebuilds. I also took my spark arrestors off and found that my packing was half ways gone on the right and completley missing on the left. I packed it with some high temp insulation i had in my garage. I left the sparkys off and now it sounds waaaay crisper. Quote
