MSBansheeDrags Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 This is a persistent problem with my Lectron Carbs. Had a guy with a really hopped up engine tell me the other day at the drags that "the intakes on mine hold the carbs up". ???? Do I need to consider getting another intake especially for this?? The one I have is fine otherwise and has been drag ported. Don't really want to change. Right now I have tied the left carb up to the frame with a tie wrap. Is working but looks cheap and may change the angle of inflow enough to hurt performance?? Quote
badassbanshee479 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 just get a set of reed spacers. will move the carb up and away from the clutch arm. Or if ya get a set of cubs, the intake track is different so you do not have to do anything :biggrin: Quote
shee rips Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 from what i understand reed spacers would fix that Quote
MSBansheeDrags Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Posted July 20, 2007 from what i understand reed spacers would fix that Thanks!! Sorry I know nothing about Reed Spacers. Please advise as to type, est. cost, any changes in performance, where to find them for the best price. I figured the Cheetah Cubs had addressed this. I think that guy at the track had these. How hard is it to change out to these??? Quote
dajogejr Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 Someone had some for sale here....but, here's what I would get if I needed them: Scroll halfway down. spacers, bolts, gaskets...everything but someone to come over and put them on for you. http://www.nossmachine.com/yamaha_banshee_parts.htm Also...pm majicmike. He might have spacers too...but I'm not 100% on that one. I do know he makes killer intakes...but, you don't want to get rid of yours... Quote

Have had those carbs and reed cages off several times. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 If you don't want spacers (sometimes they are a bad thing) then sometimes you can grind down the bottom bolt on the carb so it will clear. Quote
Toomey Banshee Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 I just tapped the clutch arm down with a hammer on both of my bikes with 33s. Absolutely no problems. Quote

jbooker82 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 What kind of intake do you have? My boss racing intake moved the carbs up and back so they dont hit. Quote

It looks stock. Was not mentioned as a mod from the guy I bought from. BTW Do you run racing fuel? Quote
