Unfortunately the only non-ethanol fuel here is race gas as well. Mine runs great on pump premium, but come spring when its still cold and the first rides are in damp sand, I'll mix race gas.

I run the carb out and drain my tank into a steel VP can after every ride/wash when the bike will sit for more than a few days. I'll keep this fuel for for two weeks tops, then its weedwacker gas.

I'm a little reluctant to do the carb mod, as the bike is running clean and pulls hard. Never stalls and even idles for as long as I need it to. Milage is outstanding. If I had a second carb I'd do it but I want to keep this one as is.

Really please tell us about it!

No better yet please don't.

I plan on sending Ron my carb here in a few weeks and then sending my suspension to Les to boot.

I had both mods done at the same time. the carb, and head on my 04 300. What a big difference well worth the money. No stumbles, clean revving, and I haven't really jetted it yet. I always had a minor stumble, and it would load up even with the plug showing light brown. The air screw actually does something. The plug is a dark brown after a mixed terrain ride. I explained my riding style to Ron. Trail riding, so I don't need a big "hit". He provided the correct needle. Low end is very strong, with a little "hit" midrange, and the speedo saw 83 yesterday, tucked. Factor in 10% error, it's still fast enough.
Fuel economy seem very good, just a tick over 2 gals to do 88 mile loop. Speed range was 15mph in the rocks to sustained 50mph, hard pack, rocks, and shallow sand. At any speed you can hold a steady throttle, no hunting, or blubbering.
Mike.

I had the same mods done as well.....huge difference! I was wondering what elevation are you running at and the needle you are using? I'm currently running the CEK needle. The CEL had a bit too much mid-hit and a little boggy off idle.

Idaho,
Vegas elevation, 2200' to maybe 3K to 3200'. It was cool and over cast Monday. We rode from a dry lake up to where my GF wished she would have brought a light jacket. I'm very happy with the mods. I also have to say I not a young aggresive heavy handed rider. I'm happy with a little excitement. A few wheelies, a little air and a good running bike with no crashes or injurys during a ride. I ride by myself 90% of the time, so I'm careful about taking chances and riding over my head. I'm sure I could jet this to a nats ass. It runs and starts better than when I sent the head and carb to Ron.
The pilot jet is 42, main is 180, but I not sure about the needle, I do remember it's in the middle groove, whatever it is it's deliver's smooth power.

Sounds good man. If you have the needle out sometime and think about it please post. It should have something etched in at the top near the grooves. Better yet, post your settings in the jetting post on this forum. I'm running at 6000ft and up. Running 175MJ/40PJ/CEK#2 /AS 2.5 out...in case you get yourself up to higher elevation.

05' EC300/Rekluse

The RB carb mod uses a CEK needle, and the carb is sent back with the clip in position #3 as a startng point.

Thanks Idaho, I'll post the settings
Looked like position #3 was middle I guess I'll have to put the readers on next time I look at the clip.

Default 2007,2008 Ec 200 Gas Hog?

we have 2 200's that ride with us and they are always running out of gas when the rest of us have 1/3rd. tank left?? One is a 07, and my son has an 08. We have a 07 EC300, and a 07 EC250. The rest of the bikes are pumpkins, and they get the same mileage as our 300 and 250. Does anyone else have this problem with there newer EC 200? I know the 03, 04, and 05, get normal mileage Thanks Tom
