EPI Banding Tools

[@NorthstarRiders]

Was just at EPI today. Great products and I have used the banding tool and their boots and clamps. Works great!

where did u get the clamps from thanks have a great day besafe always

Do I tighten the band enough to begin to see the boot compress? I just did a reboot on my truck and used a band clamp like this style. Just want to ensure it was tight enough.

[@EPIperformance]

yes that is correct. You would do it the same as the automotive boots.

@@EPIperformance thanks for the reply. I got it nice and snug with a little boot compression with the twister, then it probably tightens up a bit more when it crimps over before I cut.

@@TheDesertRat31 yes that is correct

Maybe you can help with my problem. I installed a new carb. (Old one was junk) Set valve clearance. Put a new plug in. I have gas blowing into the airbox anytime the engine is running. It gets worse when you rev it up and it loses power and bogs down then back fires. I turned the air/fuel mix all the way to lean and even adjusted the carb needle all the way down. Still no help. The funny thing is when in neutral it idles and revs up great, but has gas blowing into the airbox. Someone said the intake valve is stuck or bent and that's why fuel is blowing back through the carb. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. 2005 Yamaha Bruin 350. Thanks!

What is the brand of the strap tightener and where did you get it?

[@EPIperformance]

They are EPI banding tools. We have several different ones. You can see them on our website at www.epiperformance.com Part number are BDT80 and BDT90 for the smoot universal bands like in this video. We also have a BDT95 which is different crimp style similar to the OE clamps.
