Ok ive spent the last two days tuning and breaking in the BANSHEE and it starts easy when cold with the choke just a couple of kicks.Runs,idles,and drives great!The issues though i cant figure out are one it wont start without the choke when hot second the lower end is not as strong as id expect it to be.
So heres what ive done i spent all yesterday working on it and even had ken on the phone til 9pm talk about devotion to his customers!But heres whats done i have t5's chariot performance reeds,stock,carbs,toomey filter,had 25 pilots in it along with 280 mains toomey needles 4th clip a/f 1.5 turns out.I ran it like this and it was hard to start even with the choke hot or cold and ran like sh*t up top so i swapped in a 270 main and the top end was fixed it pulls like a freight train from about 1/2-WOT,after talking to ken he suggested swapping in some 32.5 pilots from my blaster and that seemed to help.The weirdest thing is sometimes after shutting it off itll start back up on 1-3 kicks no choke then others you gotta give it a 1/2 choke to fire up.
Ive checked for air leaks and it all seems soild.If you turn the choke on while running it immediately dies so i know the pilots arent too lean.I called toomey and aside from the guy acting like i was retarded he suggested all the normal stuff that id checked swapped float bowls,carb slides,carbs synced yada yada yada...
Its more of an inconvenience than anything because once it starts it idles and runs fine kinda soft on the bottom end but holy hell when you hit the power band its fierce!
Im out of ideas though so im running it past you guys i see on banshee hq alot of guys run a 27.5-32.5 pilot so i cant be too far off.
