Got a Lectron, thought it offered a bunch too and signed up. I have been upfront about all this. I don't care to get into pissing matches and if you were on the husky forum you would know I ride a ton, am very involved, love products that enhance the sport we love. I make very little on the Lectrons, have spend many hours understanding it and even making custom rods for the unique needs of the 125-165 motors. I absolutely do not care if you order direct from the very helpful people at Lecton and bypass me altogether. This is not my core biz nor do I make much of anything on them. I posted in the Lectron thread and should have left it there from the get go but saw LOTS of Lectron discussion here to and thought I would lend some facts from my vast knowledge of that product regardless if i sell them or not. I never kept that a secret in any way and it is posted here in several places.

I will leave you to your APT thread now, great carbs, have fun.

Hey, no offense taken, it's just a discussion. Also, I have not yet used either carb, I'm just commenting on the engineering differences between the two, as far as the compensation. It just makes sense that the APT should be slightly better as its more advanced, that's it. Likely the Lectron is perfectly adequate though. The APT adjuster is just a simple, no tools affair. I can't see how that is anything but better.
Truth is both of these are in very small field populations, and no cast APTs yet, so we will learn a lot more about both including reliability and durability in the future. The thing to realize as I have said is that the companies have two different missions, APT looking a lot farther down the road than replacement carbs for bikes.

GMP,
I respect your opinion regarding anything GG and dirt bikes as you've demonstrated your knowledge and ability to fabricate parts many times. Having said that, I wish you could try both the Lectron and APT so your theories could be proved or disproved. I have the Lectron, but I really don't have a dog in the fight as I'm not a dealer and stand to gain nothing either way. Perhaps the APT will be found to be a superior carb, but the more I read about people's experiences with both, I am becoming more convinced that the difference isn't as great as some have implied.
