green = antifreeze

I thought I posted about this but maybe it was on another site... If you did a carb rebuild make sure your slides aren't swaped between carbs. The slide from the left carb will fit on the right carb.. but it will be facing the wrong way. Same goes from right to left. Check it out.

Don't know the Banshee at all, but fuel from the overflow means a stuck float needle. Usually just dirt between needle and seat. Easy fix. Turn fuel off, run engine until it stops, turn fuel on and the rush of fuel may dislodge the dirt on the now wide open needle. If that doesn't work, remove needle and clean both it and seat, checking for wear on needle and, if it has one, the little plunger in the needle, isn't sticking.
