I say while you're in there, clean the carbs out completely. That way you know the needle, main jet, slide, float, and pilot jet are all in good working condition.

I always thought Banshees were supposed to bogg and sputter at a low rpm, maybe it's just me?

I just keep 'er on the pipe.

I would inspect the reeds while you have the carbs apart. If the bike is older or hasn't been well maintained, the reeds could be out of spec or worn. You might also have one fouled plug. When you start it cold, does it smoke out of both exaust pipes?

Did you say stock banshee? I didn't know there was such a thing.

You need to re-jet and pipe that beast.
