Fastchecker Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Just wondering if it is normal not to run the 32/1 fuel oil mixture? I got an all stock 06 banshee with only modification of a k&n filter / no snorkle 220 mains 25 pilots. I seem to foul a lot of plugs at idle like when im warming it up. I do rev the throttle while warming it up to keep it from loading up. I have also played with the screws turning them out like three turns. Do you think i need to go lower on the pilot or can you just play with the fuel/oil mixture? Thxs for any info!!!! Quote
BansheeRider71 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Dude its not your gas/oil pre-mix because your supposed to run a Banshee at 32:1 , its definately your jetting, as far as what you should jet it at I dont know, but its definately not your pre-mix ratio. Mine is a all stock 06 I run mine a 32:1. Quote
350BANSHEE350 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 would i foul my plugs running 24:1 with yamalube all stock bike BTW Quote
Wagonz Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 That would make it leaner, but the jetting would be the problem. Quote
350BANSHEE350 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 whats "better" to run? yamalube 24:1 or 32:1 i would think 24:1 because it has more oil for lube Quote

Run it anywhere between 32:1 and 40:1 and you should be fine. Keep an eye on the jetting also. Quote

Keep an eye on the jetting also. Only on warm up? Probobly wrong jetting or maybe a bad stator. When I had a bad stator it would foul plugs only on warm up. Quote
Fastchecker Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 thxs for the reponse guys, but if its a jetting problem at idle it would be the pilot jet, right??? And also, should you be able to just let the bike idle or is that bad for these two strokes??? Thxs again for any info!! Quote

Because it is liquid cooled with no fan, you dont want to let it idle for long periods of time. Air moving through the radiator is necessary to keep the coolant temp down. I let mine idol for 4 or 5 minuted to warm up. Anytime after warmup, I never let it idle for more than a minute or so. You shouldn't need to go any smaller than a 25 pilot (stock). What kind of plugs are you using, and what do they look like when you "foul" them? Quote
