[@brandonmedina8354]

[@kevingalindo1]

[@dansavka7648]

Umm it aint hard to change needle height

[@luxurydetailsllc9803]

Thanks another great video! Straight to the point with great information!

[@juantaylor5099]

Always come back to your vids. 👍

[@pcostyle11]

Man this video helped me so much im doing this in 15 mins no trouble!! Def runs better on the stock position but im scared to lean it out

[@UNKLEWHEELIESON]

Always the best explanation 👌

[@TOYOTETO]

Whats is the diferent when change the C clip to the second position like you do? Its better for the banshee power?

[@jordenHernandez-vu9zm]

Hey so i have a stock motor and i put bigger jets onto the carb would i have to put the clip one down on the needle?

[@jordenHernandez-vu9zm]

Hey so i have a stock banshee and i put bigger jets on my carb would i have to put the clip on the needle one down so it would allow more fuel?

[@mikemathews9845]

my banshee is pushing oil out of the front lower hose while it's running and then when I shut the engine off it keeps pouring out,not from the hose in the back of the crankcase. If you are sitting on the bike it's by your right toe... I rebuilt the entire engine because of this,still doing it. Thanks for all your help Mike

[@kevingalindo1]

Mike Mathews Check the rear vent tube and make absolutely sure it isn't plugged, they do that if the rear one gets plugged. You can also do a vent hose delete too and plug that one off. Still need to make sure back one is clear though. Search my channel for a "vent hose delete"

[@mikemathews9845]

South Texas Banshee Thanks so much for your time and information,I mean that a lot!!! and I'll check that video out too.

[@kevingalindo1]

Mike Mathews Feel free to find me on Facebook and message me anytime.

[@mikemathews9845]

South Texas Banshee the previous owner must have done a vent hose case delete... but they didn't block off the one you blocked off and that's the one leaking on my bike. that hose is just dangling? Thanks Mike

[@kevingalindo1]

Mike Mathews Ah, That's why it's leaking, it needs to be run up high. You can either cap it or run it uphill like up the rad support and hang it in the look with the can can vent tube. Right now The fluid is just siphon feeding out. Make sure it isn't over full.

[@michaelh.433]

hey, was going through the carbs. had leakage on one carb. float needle fixed that thanks to you. went into right side carb to do the same repair and saw the main needle was bent! this is a 1998 bike with tors. any ideas? your vids are the best!

[@123semaarairsoft]

Hey man when I replaced my stick throttle cable, it gives very high rpm when I turn the bike on, any suggestions?

[@benjifranklin1008]

I had this issue make sure you aren’t pulling on the throttle cables coming out of the carbs

[@anthonywhite6997]

What do you think of boost bottles , are they needed

[@gmoney8555]

why does the slide not open up? one side opens up other doesnt

[@juancastaneda4287]

I have the same problem did you ever figure that out?

[@pcostyle11]

Thank you so much man ! I was scared to change my needle one was bent but damn you thought me how!! now if i want to start rich on my needle its 1 slot down from stock position ?

[@brithesignguy]

Great Video. Thank you

[@slanktapper]

Do you have a power valve video? I can't seem to find a video that shows how they should look, and when they need replacing. Great videos as always!

[@kevingalindo1]

I sure don't man. sorry.

[@slanktapper]

All good, i meant reed valves. I'll keep looking there must be something out there.

[@kevingalindo1]

oh, ok, what ya need?

[@BostonBanshee]

Hey Kevin, I’m in New Hampshire have a 100% stock banshee got it with 200 mains I’m pretty much at sea level it’s about 30 degrees out I had the bike on the 200 mains all summer everybody said it rides and sounds great I think it sounded rich, now winter at 30 degrees I put 220 mains in the carbs should I go bigger? Or does that sound right. I run 32:1 Honda oil thanks in advance man

[@carlosc6699]

What happens if you do put the slides backwards.. how would the bike act

[@timjackson1063]

Man im having a issue I just switched from a thumb throttle to a twist throttle and now my bike wont start unless I hold my hand over the end of the carb like im manually chocking it what could it be I've cleaned the carbs and I have a tores deleted it ran awesome before I put the twist throttle on and im at a little over a 100lbs of compression in each cylinder and its a stock bike besides fmf gold pipes

[@grizzlyoutdoors2296]

How do you do it when the cable is 2 centimeters long

[@isaiaguilera6279]

Just wondering where did you get those High Temp Silicone exhaust clamps from

[@kevingalindo1]

BlUr_DiAmOnDz HPM on eBay. shawm Howell on Facebook.

[@tjgraham1478]

that's a great deal I have family in Texas I'll let u know I asked about the banshee frame so I can get it give me a min how much for the frame

[@betonavarrete3523]

What groove do you recommend placing the needle and if I’m about to place in 27.5 and 320 jets ?????

[@kevingalindo1]

Beto Navarrete The middle groove should be fine, if anything you’ll need to run it on 4th from the top.

[@willydabike2]

My banshee has a pretty nice hesitation when I throw her in 1st and when I take off I have to Rev it waaaay too much but right after that at a little under half throttle she's good from there and she'll idle all day it's just when I throw her in gear she acts like she wants to cut off PLEASE HELP BY THE ITS A FULL STOCK BANSHEE BUT I THINK THE OWNER BEFORE ME DID SOMETHING IN THE CARBS

[@kevingalindo1]

willydabike2 Bet money you need bigger pilot jets man. What's in it now? Close the air screws up quite a bit and see if it helps at all. If the idle slows down, just bring it up with the idle screws.

[@azzamali1340]

So getting the needle up may give more power ? Nice video as always ♥️

[@JamesWilson-qw2zq]

Great video,, can u fix my banshee

[@josecollazos6]

If the compression is at 115 on a banshee is that bad?

[@kevingalindo1]

Jose Collazos is the engine had a stick head. No that’s fine. If you’ve got a cool Head and smaller domes than that can mean you have ring wear

[@betonavarrete3523]

What’s yo dude it’s me again ,so I did a carb rebuild,tors delete and added k&n pods ,but at 1/8 th of throttle it bogs but once I have it pinned down it’s runs amazing any tips on what it might be ? I appreciate it brother

[@SkyCandyVisuals]

thank you very much sir!

[@lipripper3410]

Is that heater hose for that coupler for the exhaust?

[@jorgepineda2169]

If your having to lean out the needle all the way, does that mean you need a smaller main? My WOT sounds crisp and lots of power but mid is still a bit late and clip is at the top already If it helps my mods are 4mil stock cyl +4degree Pods with outwears Coolhead domes cut for 91oct HJR dune port I talked to him he recommended 27.5, 330mains, middle position but plug looked a bit grey with 330 so went to 340

[@kevingalindo1]

Jorge Pineda Are you using a stock needle? The 5N7? You could try a 6 groove needle by dyno-jet/Toomey on the 4th from top and see what that does. You need to be careful that you don't lean the midrange out too much. Would be a good idea to set the throttle stop at 1/4 throttle or a little more and plug chop it. Put in new plugs and take off right away and hold it against the stop for a good 30 seconds. Pull the plugs, put in the old and cut'em and see how you look.

[@casanovazombies356]

hey is there anyway we can like talk and you can listen to my bike and see what the problem is its pretty boggy and the idle wont sit right

[@steaknive]

My banshee slides were installed on opposite carburetors. Ram great though, even with the crescent backwards. Then again, I’m a beginner so maybe it wasn’t running so great.

[@coreychelko2872]

hey I have a 2000 Yamaha banshee. I think my jetting is pretty good but mid range bogs a tad. I have a boost bottle, k&n airfilter in OEM air box with the vents drilled in, tors eliminator kit, cool head with 20cc domes, bored .50 over, vforce 3 reeds with aluminum spacers, Toomey t-5 full exhaust and im at 1000ft above sea level. I ride in the summer and fall only so between 50_90 degree weather. never seen snow or anything. I was curious if you could help me with jetting? like a guess as to what's best. I only run 93 and golden spectro mixed 40:1 and b8es ngk plugs. I think currently I have a 300 main, needle is on 4thclip and pilot is 30. love your videos! big help!

[@coreychelko2872]

also very hard to start unless i bump it. choke doesn't stay out, leaks gas out of carbs through the overflow vent. I just want it to run smooth and start up like it should. once I start it up and ride it, it will kick start just fine. sorry for all the info!

[@kevingalindo1]

if your running stock needles, try dropping back to the 3rd clip. let me know what happens.

[@coreychelko2872]

+South Texas Banshee will do! thank you!

[@1991tommygun]

Great vid

[@islamaustralia1]

hi can you please do a video on how to change the water pump

[@kevingalindo1]

sure, that's a good recommendation, I'll do it soon.

[@romancor1]

Hey man! what size jets would you recommend me? I have the fatty's and powercore 2 pipes and a k&n air filter with no lid.. I'm at 4,000 ft above sea level..

[@kevingalindo1]

280 mains should put you in the ball park, needle clip in middle and 27.5 pilots 2 turn out on air screw. see where that gets you. you want be lean, I can tell you that.

[@romancor1]

Thanks man!

[@JC-mn6qn]

I raised my clip 1 notch and the idle was very high. I had to back the idle screws out 6 flats to get it back down. Is this normal

[@kevingalindo1]

car buyer No not at all the needle has no effect on the idle. That’s really odd.

[@Bikerbarrie]

dont know if you will see this but, i removed mine and now it revs really high havent touched the idle screw, just want it back to normal any idea what fixed it? i have put everything back!? maybe seated wrong? the top cap screws back down properly

[@chriswiley570]

I have a 2003 banshee built from ground up I let a guy rode it but he broke the throttle cable down where the tors hook up at so we took the tors off to connect the cable long story short one of the tors was stuck so everytime we start it up its rev all the way up but I got the tors to go up and down but it never crunk after that any suggestions pls

[@kevingalindo1]

Chris Wiley Disconnect the tors brain box and try it. It mounted on the same frame tube as the coil. Also, make sure buy slides are going all the way down.

[@chriswiley570]

OK thanks

[@kevingalindo1]

Chris Wiley keep me updated

[@chriswiley570]

OK I will I got a guy fixing on it but I will do a video when done

[@chriswiley570]

I rode it but it comes up in every gear

[@seadoesgta3665]

my needle is stuck

[@tjgraham1478]

How much is a engine rebuild

[@kevingalindo1]

Basic stock rebuild, stock stroke crank wiseco 513's gaskets/seals leak test with video 800 in parts paid upfront labor 400.00 includes cleaning, paint ETC.

[@tjgraham1478]

For a banshee

[@chriswiley570]

I need sum help with my carbs

[@kevingalindo1]

Chris Wiley what's sup

[@kawikaespejo9399]

I'm 1500 ft above sea level in suggestions.

[@kevingalindo1]

Kawika Espejo Need to know your mods first. ;)

[@kawikaespejo9399]

South Texas Banshee Its running with t5 tommey racing pipes.

[@kevingalindo1]

Kawika Espejo no other mods, air box lid.on or off, stock filter or pro flow? no porting? if you have no lid you need about a 290 main 32.5 pilot with a toomey needle set on 4th groove from top
