Ran across a single carb intake manifold for my Banshee. I was wondering if anyone had some input on this swap. Right now my twin carb setup is a pain in the ass to adjust. So I was wondering if I got the single manifold and a slightly bigger carb, if there would be any gain in doing the conversion. ![http://i2.ebayimg.com/02/i/001/1c/5e/a5e0_1.JPG](http://i2.ebayimg.com/02/i/001/1c/5e/a5e0_1.JPG) ---

Don’t be a fagbag just get the specs for the stock jet/neddle adjustments then we’ll ride around all day and tune the shit out of it till it blows whellies like my raptor! ---

It runs good enough for that already 😉 I just want something I don’t have to fuck with everytime I want to go riding. Plus it’s a pain to start once warmed up. ---

Already have the boost bottle. The left cylinder seems to run a lot more richer then the right. The quad will not idle, and you have to run it on 1/4 choke. I know they just need to be adujusted more evenly. ---

Are the banshee carbs rubber isolated(rubber boot) or hard mounted to the bores? Heat and/or vibration causing mis-sync of carbs and mixture settings it seems. Carbs not 1005 in sync are impossible to tune. You can make a simple carb syncronizer from ~$7 in parts. An old friend of mine had a banshee and was exactly as you described…awesome when running but a bitch to get to and keep at that running state. ---
