ETR174 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 Ok kicked it over and she runs! Only one problem, because I have the pod filter the pilot is too small and it is a pain to start and it stalls out after a quick rev. I will buy the stock filter and put that back on but what size is the stock pilot? If it is a 25 I have a 27.5 for my Banshee that might work. 1
Moderator Airhead Posted November 1, 2014 Moderator Posted November 1, 2014 22.5 I think, It'll say on it anyhow
ETR174 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 Ok, should 25 be ok? My Banshee uses the same pilot type and I have 25 and 27.5.
Moderator Airhead Posted November 1, 2014 Moderator Posted November 1, 2014 Ok just pulled the carb out It's been out so many times now eh!!!
ETR174 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 Not really, I checked if the overflow was good by just putting the gas line on and seeing if gas comes out.
ETR174 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 So I couldn't find my extra 25 but I did find out that the pilot was clogged a bit. I unclogged it and put it in the bike and it fired up first kick. Doesn't like to idle and the air screw is 1 turn out and it acts lean because when I put the choke on it was fine. Being a moron I rode it around my backyard for a minute and it was kinda sloppy but I stopped and saw that the exhaust right by the cylinder was steaming so I immediately shut it off. I am off to the local power sports shop to see if they have a 25 and possibly look for a 27.5
ETR174 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 Ok so I got it running very good with a 25 pilot. I can go from idle to wot without bog. However the pipes is steaming right at the cylinder after a couple of minutes of riding.
blackhat250 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Steaming ? you mean smoke, is there a leak, or a spill of fluid on it ?
ETR174 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 There is gas on it thats why. It have a digital temperature gauge and it measured 350°F (177°C) where it was steaming, is that normal? The head and cylinder measured 110°F (43°C).
blackhat250 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Yeh " the exhaust is the hottest part,, it will burn off, hows she running now,,
ETR174 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 Ok still. I put the fender piece back on the right side and it acted lean so I took it back off and it was fine. I know that she has the potential to run so I'll see about getting a UNI element for the stock airbox and a 120 main jet. I'll put the 25 back in my Shee and run the stock 22.5.
ETR174 Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 Ok so I got her running a few days ago with the stock 22.5 pilot and 150 main on the 4" filter. I went and picked up a stock 120 main from the local Powersports shop and she's golden. Thank you guys so much for your help, I appreciate it! 1
Moderator Airhead Posted November 5, 2014 Moderator Posted November 5, 2014 Hmm stock main jet with a pod filter?...thats a worry, consider something bigger...a 130?
