Even if I get kicked now I can tell you "set and forget" is a myth and only works if you can forget that your Lectron is not set perfectly. I have installed and set up a few so I know what I am talking about. The Lectron remains unimpressed for big altitude changes but a Keihin is only a tad worse. If money plays no role get a Lectron and forget everything you have ever learned about carbs when setting it up. |

I think Im gonna try a few different jets and needles first just to see how it does. My bike does have alot of hours on it from previous owner and me. Luckily a lectron/smart carb fits other 2 smoker bikes with 38mm carb right?? |

Yes, a Lectron is not bike specific, it will fit more than only one brand.
Hope you also ordered a 42 pilot jet. |

Is there a danger in running too rich on the top end? I seem to be getting alot of spooge out of the tailpipe. It makes a mess but otherwise the bike seems to rip. I loose motivation to make changes in jetting when the bike runs already so well. Expect for the spooge... Got a extended air screw and idle screw coming in the mail which should make things alot easier...Gonna keep trying different jets i guess... |

Too rich on the top is not dangerous but the bike won’t rev out full. The spooge can be a reason because of the rich mixture and or of the used oil

Wanted to give an update. Tore the bike down for the winter, New top end, crank seals, gaskets, oil seals, wheel bearings, custom spring rates for suspension, tons of other things...went ahead and got the JD jet kit, was surprised that the pilot jet recommendation was a 40, even though I knew from experience it was too lean. I believe I put a 48 or a 50 pilot in, and now I'm about 1-1.5 turns out on air screw, bike is running better, but by that what I mean is I'm still having pretty weak bottom end power. The bike doesn't stall or bog, but it also doesn't pull very hard from 1/4th to 1/2 throttle. Infact it builds rpms very slow unless you slip the clutch.
During the rebuild I put a (biggest?) .50 base gasket in for a low compression, but reliable build. Is that a mistake? Going to check the power valve action this weekend and make sure its all working good. I told A guy on a Facebook group about my issues, he thinks the carburetor on my bike is just old and worn out. He strongly suggests just buying a new carburetor. So now the jump to a lectron is still in my mind. Right now I have 180 main jet. I think a 50 pilot, JD jetting red needle, 4th position, burning 50:1 redline racing 2 stoke mix, riding sea level to 2500ft. |

That all depends on how the head is machined. With a standard head I would think you get too big squish and improper burn of the fuel / difficult jetting. Did you measure the squish?
