I refuse to deliver anything that is not as good as we can get it. That's the reason I halted production, we are now on a clear path and have made the corrective actions, and will be receiving updated articles in ten days. IF all that checks out we are back in production with the cast carbs. The billets are always available and we are selling lots of them, not because we are working overtime to upsale everybody that's waiting, it's because they work really well. So, here's an update to an earlier question: 3beejay3, we are supposed to receive those new 38mm samples in 10 days. After we test those and prove them then we will go back into production with the cast series carbs. From there we are informed it will be 6 weeks to receive the parts for the 38's. THEN a tool change to 36's and another 6 weeks to recieve the 36mm parts. I know this has been a frustrating long process for everybody and especially us, so I do regret the continual delays. Our goal is to make these perfect as possible. My best guess is we will have cast 36mm carbs by February. |

Yes, for our products and certification labs. There is tremendous liability in fuel systems. And emissions certifications.

now I know that I can expect a carb not before end of November, maybe later, not knowing my position in the waiting list. As my order(38mm cast) runs since August 19th "up to 90 days for delivery" is not possible. This fact is OK, as delays can happen and so on. As a customer that has prepayed I just would expect to be informed not by accidentally reading in a forum but by an dedicated e-mail or newsletter. I can live with the delay better than with a compromised product. So please take your time, but keep me informed. Best regards, Erhard http://ergraute-enduro-greise.de/mitglieder/g-erhacht/ |

My keen perception detects a little bitterness on your part. You paid too much, for one thing.
I ran a 38mm die-cast SmartCarb on my clapped-out, high-mileage 2011 GG EC250 and loved it, mostly because I wasn't constantly worried my throttle would stick wide open. That's happened to me too many times with Keihin-equipped machines, the last time destroying my tibia plateau and causing 11 months of recovery. Now I have it on my 2014 Beta 250RR. With the great customer service from Corey, I've worked through some minor issues and made some adjustments. I love it! Actually, I love my Beta and my SmartCarb. My fuel mileage is great. The bike runs great. And I'm not worried my carb will try to kill me. |

The "secret" to making your SmartCarb work well is, balancing the mixture knob and the idle screw settings.
People tend to mess with the mixture knob way too much, thinking it's a fix all. |

Jan bought a 250, so the intake is shorter by the thickness of the intake spacer and gaskets on your 300.
