[pasedogg]

my mechanic was saying something about i onlly got one choke , or ojnly one works, and he wants my TORS removsal kit to go, he says it dsoesnt warm up right or somethin , i really couldnt understand, can somone tell me what they mkake of the situation of what hes tying to say, i had the choke pull tube, but he says ones missing, never even saw a placxe for a second, why would he want my TORS kit to go, hee says it doesnt run right without it or somethin, says my kits garbage, any sugestions, i told him to do whatever it takes to get it sdone anyway, just some problems hes running into along the way, not seeing though how its a big deal, it satrs and everything, so wusup, should i tell him to beat it.

Sounds like you mechanic is a IDIOT and its trying to get some money out of you..

are you rcoking stock carbs?

if so there is only 1 choke, on the left carb and there is a choke tube inbetween them..

1 choke-1 tube..

so do you have the tors or is it removed already?

Someone is trying to screw you over, go get the bike, refuse to pay for what he probably hasnt done anyhow. and take it to someon who has acutually seen a banshee.

Sorry, but that mechanic doesn't know much about Banshee's....

 

Stock carbs on a banshee only have one choke tab to pull, which is located on the left carb. On the inside of the left carb, behind that tab there will (or should be) a rubber hose running to the right hand carb. So when you pull the choke out on the left carb, and being as it is a sealed tube behind that choke, the vacuum will also run the right hand choke.

 

And as for the TORS Removal kit being crappy, tell him the TORS system/design is a piece of crap and does not to be on a Banshee. There is not much change on the carbs when you switch over to a TORS Removal kit. New carb caps and idle screws that run into the side that hold the slides up to where you want your idle set at. Now maybe your carbs are not in sync, reason for the engine not to be running right, jetting could be an affect, etc.

 

Tell this mechanic that he doesn't know shit about the carbs and TORS system on a Banshee engine. I wouldn't be letting him near your engine, he is going to be charging you for all this crap that you don't need....

thats what i figured, like irember looking at it when i got it saying, i wonder how that one choke gets to both carbs,, and i looked over everything, looked like nothing was missing.i made sure no holes were in the carbs for a tube or anything.so ya, i knew it was BS when he said im missing a choke tube to the other carb and my TORS removal kit has to go, i freaked out, i was like why the hell did i just buy this kit yto put something back on i or any other banshee owner doesnt want on there bike, i was like you gotta make it go with what i gave ya, because its all there, nothing is missing, i need to arange for a ride to pick the bike up. he isnt ordering parts without my permission, he also isnt running it untill he looks over everything and understands how the banshee works,im so sick of rip off idiot mechanics, i self tought myself and i feel i know more then them and im only 20,

[pasedogg]

just talked to him says im missing a tube that connect, other then that he says he puts his finger on a whole, he just said bring in the old TORS and thetube should be there

[pasedogg]

how much are they frm yamaha, he says theres a mechanism in it, not just a plain hose tube

[Dinner]

Are you talking about the Choke assembly on the left carb, or the rubber hose that connects between the two carbs? If you are talking about the assembly on the left carb then yes there are a few parts in there.

 

And tell him the TORS are no good. They do not work half the time for what they are actually suppose to do. They will give you electrical and engine running problems. Just leave them off....and leave the TORS Eliminator Kit on.

[pasedogg]

ya i have the choke nob for the outside left carb, the actuall pull part, but aparently the tube between is missing or something, he said he had to cover a hole or holes to start it.and ya he dosnt want the TORS i misunderstood, he wanted the old parts to see if the tube was in there to save me money, but my other buddy with a banshee says the middle tube is just a simple hose, the machanic says he needs to order it from yamaha because theres a mechanism, maybe he just thinks there is but isnt.simple mistake.hes not a bad guy or stupid, im just jumpym, and quik to jump to conclusions,he does another buddys banshee and hes had his since new and never even done the top end using this mechanic,so hopefully shiaaat works out.but ya, is it just a simple hose for the connecting the two carbs, forgive me if i wrote this paragraph and it makes no sence, one of those days.

go take pictures of what you have. 1 picture will speak 1000 words.

[pasedogg]

well i know for a fact when i took the carbs apart i myslef was wondering how the choke got from one carb to the other, there was no connection between the 2,the only thing that seemed to connect was the boost bottle thing,i got no camra.im sure theres no connection for the choke between the 2 carbs now thast he told me, cus i was thinking that before i gave it to him,just never thought it was abig problem.

[IrideA250R]

the only thing connecting the chokes on the 2 carbs is the vacuum hose. Nothing else.

[pasedogg]

so whats that,do you got a pic, i can see if mine had it or not, the only hoses that seemd to be coming from both carbs were overflow hoses.

I can take a picture tonight if need be, but it's just a piece of fuel line between the 2 nubs on the carbs. Both carbs will have a nub on the inside part of the carb about halfway down. The hose is about 2 or 3 inches long and goes between the two.

[pasedogg]

ok thanks, what size is the hose,i am gunna run to home hardware and get one and run it over to buddy, id apreciate a picture it would be awsome cus i will know for sure if mine had it, i tore my carbs apart like 4 times in 2 days.i got the outside setup memorized,lol
