Banshee running problems

[swoop1972]

Hi chaps
Many thanks for your replies.

I have stripped down the carbs today and found a bit of grit in the offending carb..result... I have fully stripped and cleaned both carbs and re-fitted them

Still not a happy girl

She ran perfect for around 5 mins then back to square one
When i got back i noticed water leaking from the back of the head when the throttle was pinned.....

So head was removed and i found a knackerd head gasket result......Going to clean up head and cylinder faces tommow and fit a new gasket hopefully she will be back on form tommow afternoon....

Well new head gasket fitted, new coolant and all set up
ran up with now filters running like a train
Filters back on and running shite again came to conclusion that too much oil in filters
Filters cleaned and dried out refitted and all smiles again back to good old raptor bashing

Yeah, don't need much oil on those filters. They still have to breath.
A light spray will do the job, I had the same prob at one point.

Hmmm....WD40? That crap is an oil based nightmare for a carb. I would soak it in a bucket of carb cleaner for an hour, then let it dry. Once its dry start sprayin it down again. Make sure the oil residue is gone. I like my carb to be so clean that I can lick it.
