dave88 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 i have similar mods and also live at sea level. i use 300 mains 27.5 pilots and the needles on the 4 th clip. Quote
dragbanshee Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 so apparently this website sucks for helping people.so can anyone point me in the direction of a website or forum where people can actually help me. Id start with what dave88 is set at and turn your air screw to 1 1/2 out from seated, and just have to run it and check your plugs/ do a plug chop on top end. Hope this helps ya out. Quote
J-Madd Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 so apparently this website sucks for helping people.so can anyone point me in the direction of a website or forum where people can actually help me. Man, you're at the best place!! Get rid of the boost bottle. I've ran a 'shee with Fatty's as rich as 360s (way too rich, but still ran good). I've never seen a piston like that; maybe someone else can explain why it's all smashed at the top at one spot. What did the head look like? How's the rod on that side (lots of play, etc), was the clearance b/t the cylinder wall and piston in spec? I'm not an expert in this, but there is a lot of help to be found here, versus anywhere else. Quote

Hope this helps ya out. thanks. anyone wanna point out to me where the clip is??? i took mine apart ,and either A.) im blind or B.) im fuckin retarded. because i didnt see anything for the needle to go into... haha Quote
J-Madd Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 There are grooves on the needle thatn the clip goes in, but that was not why you trashed a piston. Quote
brian Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 Check THIS out. You can look up the parts and see where they are located. If you click on the link, then go to carburetor, you will see that the needle set is item # 23. The pict shows where all the parts go. Also, get a clymers manual. They cover all of the banshee's parts pretty well. Gives step by step instructions for changing every part on the bike. Quote
TJ10 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 (edited) You can try checking this site too (http://www.dfn.com/benkaren/jetfaq.html). It really helped me out in understanding everything to do with carb tuning. Edit: Sorry, i'm not sure how to ad a link Edited December 6, 2007 by TJ10 Quote
