I've never heard of them. Look kind of cool though.

There's a long time Gas Gas (Jack) dealer in Alabama that swears by them.
Especially on the 200s. |

I heard of them back in the 80s but never knew first hand how they worked. I'll be waiting for this thread to develop.

I have seen them on a bench and pulled apart but never seen one in a bike.
Let us know if you try one!

I read a blogpost from a guy in north Iceland that tried one, it wasn't an in-depth review but he was very happy with the results and the milage improved significantly

i have used them on a vintage 2 stroke street bike. never on anything modern. they are super neato. but i would think you can get better performance out of a pwk...

Who has time to try a Lectron if I can supply one? I have a lot of these carbs dating from mid 70s and now they are sold mostly for quads/drag applications. Their thing was lack of obstructions in the airflow with only a needle for metering fuel. They were THE mod in the late 70s and early 80s for all types of racing. I don't have time to mess with one but if someone here in the US has the time I'm willing to put up the carb with a selection of needles. Who's brave/foolish enough to try?

I'll be on a standard issue 2011 XC250 with 38mm AS II. Check the boxes for left side airscrew and fuel inlet, with a body actuated choke. Anybody got the flange diameters handy? Full disclosure - I had a Lectron on a 1985 KTM125 when I was a kid, and I thought the see-through float bowl was trick!

I would still think that is trick! Makes it easy to check actual float height.
