I'm well off the mark with where smart carb is up to. I had a 38mm billet and could never get it to run right. I might look at sending it back for an update at some point. Been sitting in storage a long time while both my bikes have their stock carbs in use.
You are correct and believe me I have read your troubles with smart carb thoroughly in your thread and together with some other information I found around the web I was very skeptic at first but every bit of info I found was at least 2 - 3 years old when the changes from apt to tech elevated happened and the product was still new without the new cast model in line.
What made me to give it a try was some recent posts I read from people who use them both on dirt bikes and snow bikes (mostly) and on newer posts more and more of them went that way.
