banshee jetting question???

[bobdryerr]

ok so i have my 2-1 intake an a 38mm carb on my shee an has power pros exhaust an vitos reeds an she is bored to a 383 non stroker lol.

so anyways i took apart the carb to see what sizes jets i have cause its poping an pinging. runs fine at idle then just past 1/4 throttle falls on its face an dies out.

welll to find out i have a 230 main and a 22.5 pilot i believe is whhat it says

any ideas what sizes i should be at

forgot to mention im using an open kn cone filter right on the carb for now...

 

[Whitty21]

thats a question for sheeblast, i am sure he will answer soon

 

[bobdryerr]

yea ive posted on another site but there everything seems like a joke lol..

i also forgot to mention its all under a load when it dies out otherwise when sitin in netrual its fine for revs

 

[Whitty21]

that makes me say your clutch is grabbing as well

 

[bobdryerr]

i dont thnk it is cause otherwise it would beable to just putts arund in 1st gear.. i had the idle set a lil high an when i pull in the clutch and put it in gear it jumps a lil then i give it some gas an let off the clutch then just let the idle push the quad at like 3 mph or so

 

[Surfrjag]

sounds like its running lean, whats your plugs look like?

 

[sheeblast]

what type of carb? i am assuming Mikuni carb. but a 230 sounds way to lean.
i am not too familar with those carbs, but i want to say you need to be around 350ish.

 

[motoman9911]

230 is way lean for sure. Stock is 200 I believe and that is on two carbs. I'd go up at least 10 sizes to start.

 

[bobdryerr]

well ive been doin some lookin around an looks like i need to be somewhere around a 180 main an a 42 pilot. its a khien 38 air stryker. so it has more vacum then other carbs. so now im kinda lost on where to even start lol

 

[sheeblast]

oh then 230 is way to rich
i have the same carb, i have a 180 and 55 in there with the clip in the middle.

 

[sheeblast]

but my engine is ported, stock cc, fmf fatties, k+n pod, +4 timing, milled head.

 

[Sandking]

Do 42 or 45 pilot and 205 main needles also important ill check later but I think a eej or eek is best

 

[sheeblast]

eek needle is the best.

 

[bobdryerr]

damnit sorry guys i just went an bought a bunch of jets an got home to find out that my carb isnt a air styker they sent me the wrong carb i got a 38mm mikuni or however u spell it flat side... ugh just wasted 40 bucks on jets an dont know where to even start now... im just so mad now. wasted 2 hrs of drive time an everthing i knew i should of taken my jets with me stupid me

so what to do now????

 

[bobdryerr]

so should i just try to convert my numbers to figure out what size jets to start with then i take it

 

[sheeblast]

go to around 350 and start there.

 

[bobdryerr]

should i also bmp up my pilot also since its only a 22.5

 

[sheeblast]

ya, go up to around a 35.

 

[bobdryerr]

ok sounds good. hate to ask another question but i just dont wanna blow her up after all the money and time and blood spent on her but should i also get another needle like u guys where saying right away or not worry about it or?????

 

[sheeblast]

i still haven't even checked mine. it isn't a big deal but if you want the most you should change it. but the needle i said was for the pwk carb.

if you really want to get a jet kit with the right needle, get ahold of jeff at FAST racing.
