APT SmartCarb

The kdx has more size constraints since it originally came with a pwk33-35.

If APT can't accommodate you, I'll bet Lectron can. Their website shows carburetors as small as 30mm.

Looking at both I'm probally going to go with the lectron.

He thought before the ride it couldn't get much better than the RB unit he has. He is now going to order up his own SmartCarb .

Thanks for the info john01. Interesting that the TM 250 pulled a little more fuel enough to want to lean it a couple clicks. I'm not sure how much it's occurred to everyone that the healthier the engine the better the SmartCarb works and is a good gauge to measure general engine health. One metering rod, how many bikes have you run this carb on now?

Hey corey

Corey it's been on Kellys 125, his 165, Walts 165, my 165, and my son's TM 250 . Who knows Kelly or Walt may have tried it on a couple other bikes. I hadn't really completed testing/adjusting it on my 165 after getting it back from Walt so I'm not sure at this time if I would have actually ended up leaner or richer for my final settings. I just bolted it back on my 165, it started on the second kick, and idled like a purring kitten. Rain today so I won't get a chance to dial it back in for my 165. Dialing it in is done from my bike seat as I don't even need to get off until I do the final plug check . It's so nice not to have to re-jet and play with AF screws and the tiny little idle screws that come on the Mikuni carbs. Thanks again for an excellent product.

What I think is cool, is that you should be able to intentionally richen it a couple clicks to soften the power in slick conditions, but do so in seconds and have a precise reference to go back to at any time.

John,

Have you, or anyone that used your carb crashed the bike in a typical/reasonable manner and were able to restart quickly?

[john01]

No we haven't crashed with the SC but I was close going WAY faster that I thought on an open outter loop ! I did lay it over on it's side for a few seconds picked it back up and it started on the 3-4 kick.

[Diggs345]

I gave a guy in the group a go who dropped the bike , it was probably about 30 seconds before he picked it back up and about the same kicks before it started again , dropped it myself but was faster to pick up and took maybe half a dozen kicks to get running again

[john01]

I actually held mine over on it's side just to see how it would be when I go down.
