banshee sucks gas!

[94supercam]

Ok, I have a 2001 banshee, when I got it it had a set of cub cylinders on it. After it blew up from a stripped water pump gear, I rebuilt it with a set of stock cylinders an weisco pistons. Since the rebuild I have rode it about 2 times. And this thing is insanly bad on gas!! I'm positive that its not leaking either. Here are the specs:

 

Weisco pro lites

35mm keihin carbs: 160 main, 55 piolit

paul turner mids

k@n pod filters

trinity cool head: 19mm domes

v-force reed valves

Also has DFS ignition box, where you can change the maping curve

 

This things has a 5.5 gallon gas tank, an it sucks it right up. It may last about a hour an a half at the most.

What could cause it to suck the gas down so fast? I havnt messed with the jetting since changing from the cubs to stock cylinders.

Could it be jetted to rich?? I mean the thing runs awsome!!!

 

Thanks for the imput.

1.5 hrs of hard riding will empty a tank usually at the dunes with reg tank hmm who knows was going to say your slides are in backwards but hard to do with aftermarket carbs.

 

are you ballz out all the time or what.

I have a similar setup on mine, also 160 main and 48 pilot and after a couple of runs around the block, half the tank is gone.

IMO you don't need to run those 35mm carbs with stock porting and mild mods. That is too much carb for the amount of air/fuel that is needed to run that motor. With the 35's on there, you are just wasting fuel, sure you could be jetted spot on but since the 35's move more air, you have to compensate for that. Drop back down to 28's even and you will notice a difference.

Yea, i agree those carbs are a bit too big for your mods. I would go to the stock carbs and run the tors eliminator kit. If anything I would just port the stockers.
