The RickyD Lectron Experience

[troffer88]

I haven't measured the 250 rod length so no help there , I also have my head done and Scalvini exhaust so they would be different more than likely

[AZRickD]

My head was RB-modded to a modest 1.33mm squish.

I might cut my Q-Stealth down 4.25 inches.

[AZRickD]

I have ordered one from Lectron. Thx.

[Jakobi]

Good work Rick. Give it a go and see what you think. I'm not sure if Dave ran the stock power jet or a shorter one with the MS3 either.

[AZRickD]

I can't imagine it working with the shorter tube. It needs that Dial-a-Jet beastie kicking in.

[AZRickD]

I cranked the MS-3 Rod in one-full turn.

Definitely more spunky off bottom. Didn't need (or like) the choke.

I was speculating that I'd need to adjust the PowerJet, but it didn't need it after it warmed up.

I won't be riding in the same place tomorrow so no 1,000 yard uphill sand wash test.

One of the leanish things I noticed before was that when the bike came off a high-speed run or a long climb, it would idle with that arhythmic staccato pa-pah-pah-dum-dum-dummmm. Let's see if that's gone.

[Jakobi]

One full turn is a pretty significant adjustment.

[AZRickD]

Supposedly not so significant on the MS-3. Somebody was saying that it was 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 in comparison to the standard Lectron 3-1 rod.

So, take *that* Mr. Jakobi !!

[AZRickD]

The adjustment helped somewhat with the staccato idle but I could still sense some mid-range flatness.

Additionally, the plastic float bowl is weeping on the left side. You will see a bit of curvature in the photo. The right side is flat and dry.

[Jakobi]

Hahah! Got me Rick! I do recall Kelly mentioning the initial taper was less aggressive than the conventional MRs.

I wonder if the float bowl leak is also acting as an air leak? Have you removed or retightened the screws? I recall that the one I had wasn't completely level where it mated but didn't leak like that. I always thought that overtightening could somewhat skew the shape.
