Get on ur quad, turn it on, do a wide open throttle run in 5th or 6th..I dont know how many gears a banshee has...and then just pull the clutch and kill it real quick...then just get off and look at your plugs!

The plug should be a brown ish color. If it is real wet then you are running to rich (to much gas) if it is white then you are running to lean (not enough air) When you jet your bike start rich, and work from there
