I need some serious help. I've got 5 days until a major trip to the Oregon dunes and my shee won't idle.

The mods to the bike are as follows:

1996 Banshee
Toomey T5 pipes
Noss cool head
12 hrs on new top end rebuild (standard bore I believe)
20cc domes in cool head
stock carbs that have been flat bored to 28mm
Toomey carb tops
K&N individual air filters
Just re-jetted carbs to 300 (was running 270)
adjustable timeing plate
High flow water pump impellar

The carbs do have the aftermarket idle system installed but the ***** wont turn so I figured they were locked down in that position for a reason.

I was wondering if there was anyone out there that had the simular mods to their ride and might be able to tell me what I could do. But any help will be taken with great pride.

I've tried letting the bike warm up and even kept it running for a good 10 to 15 minutes to make sure it got nice and warm. But it will still die if you don't keep your thumb on the throttle.

Do I have to mess with the air-fuel mixture? Maybe the needle valve clip needs to be moved (I really don't know where the clip is on the needle right now).

I would like to get all of your suggestions first before I start messing around with things that I know nothing about on my carbs.

I live in the Rogue River Valley in Southern Oregon and this is the one and only trip that I'll be able to make this year to the dunes. I would like to have a dependable running bike and not have to work on it the whole trip.

Look forward to your replys.

 

Loosen the idle lock nuts and turn the screws in untill it idles then lock them down with the nuts. You might also need larger pilot jets try #30's.

 

Also Make sure your Slides are in Right.

 

I thank you both for your input. I'll give that a try. Is there anyone else that might have other suggestions? I would like to get a lot of peoples thoughts to see if maybe there's something else it might be.
