I recently restored our 91 banshee back to the original pipes and airbox/filter. So now it is COMPLETELY stock. I put in 200 main jets and 25 pilot jets,put the air screws out 2 turns and put the needle clip in the third position,just like the manual says.Seems to run fine.lots of power. my problem is,it doesnt seem to smoke that much when you first start it up. My other 2 stroke machines smoke pretty thickly till they are warmed up,then they clear up,wich seems to be the norm. I know this might sound like a dumb question,but it smokes light enough at startup to make me a little nervous about being to lean. I run MC1 2 stoke oil at a 50:1 ratio. I figured if the shee is completely stock,with stock carb settings,ill be close enough to being tuned right to not be putting the engine in harms way. Should i go up a size or so on the main? I also have the carb slides adusted as far down as they will go,and this thing stil idles just right like that,wich would lead me to believe i am running a little lean. AHH THIS IS AGONIZING PLEASE HELP!

 

I forgot to mention that The stock air filter i bought for it came "not" oiled,seemed to be pretty dry.Are you suposed to use filter oil on the stock filters? I bet this might be causing a slightly lean condition. Well i dont get to ride until i figuire this out so please help.

 

yeah if its foam you need to oil it with a foam air filter oil, i suggest pj1 super tacky, that stuff is great.

 

any advice on the jetting anyone?
