hey thasnks for the the reply, where on the site is it i am having a bit of trouble.....how much did it cost ya......and did it get rid of the hard throttle on the banshee.......thanks

 

Motion pro makes a setup also to relieve you of the garbage on top of the carbs. It won't relieve the stiff throttle though. Although buying a single carb setup will.

 

Nac's racing at nacsracing.com can hook you up with everything you need to accomplish this mission. Be advised, you will get a drill bit and a tap to set the carbs up for the idle screws that come with the kit. Now is a perfect time to get rid of that nasty thumb throttle and throw a twister on that machine. Banshee's are a natural for the twist. If you just gotta go with the thumb, I've been told to slightly shave or grind a little on the sides of the springs (be careful or you will be ordering new ones) to decrease the spring rate. good luck.

 

Thanks for all the relpies.....but is there anyway to make an easier pull, while retaining stock cabs with new caps...i have looked at nacs, but is there anywhere that is cheaper? thanks

 

I have Kiehen 35mm Air Strykers and had a similar problem. To solve it I did two things:

First, I removed the small return spring located in the handlebar throttle housing where the throttle cable attaches to the thumb lever.

Second, I removed the springs from both carb slides and took them down to my local Ace Hardware Store. I was able to find the same diameter spring that was about 1/3 shorter. I then installed them in place of the original springs.

This eliminated the hard pull at a cost of less than $4.00!

Good luck!

 

Toomey Racing sells Carb caps. They should be able to help you out. I think they run about $6-8.

 

The motion pro kit is around $55

 

Again thanks for all the replies... i am going to get new caps from somewhere. not sure where yet....so just removed the entire spring from the throttle housing......well i will do something..thanks again
