Corey when you said " GasGas will be the first to benefit" does that mean they will be comming from the factory with the SmartCarbs? . BTW your post above (#537) is awesome; great info in it.

They are testing again right now. Really it's been us slowing them down due to availability after the EICMA show, but they are in the last stages of picking two products to put the SmartCarb on and then work into to regular production cycles in Spain. Also two other unmentioned European manufacturers beginning work over here in February. And Zaeta's new TM 530 4t powered flat tracker certification program. Getting really busy.....!

Cool. Thanks for the quick answer . BTW I can see a SmartCarb making it's way onto the new OSSA and Sherco's.

Is the 38mm cast carb a good candidate for an 1983 RM250 ?

stock is a 36mm Mikuni flat slide. Is the cast 38 too much carb for it ? The engine has been extensively ported etc.

A 38mm SC would be a good choice and I typically recommend a 38mm for a 250, especially with porting and even on older non power valve engines. It will give you all or more of your current bottom end with a lot more mid to top.

Thanks Corey, I just placed a preorder for a cast 38mm carb.

If it works as well as I'm expecting I'll be ordering one for my Gas Gas too

Excellent choice sir.

My son must have been bored today and decided to put my SmartCarb on his 2011 TM 250 MX. The bike fired on the first kick as he didn't dump the fuel in the bowl. After a few clicks leaner the bike which was already a rocket is now much smoother, better throttle response, and much cleaner pull than the RB worked over carb. 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 .

I would like to see a size for the kdx also.

kdx would most likely be advised to go for a 36mm (beeing a 200-225cc) but if you want more top end, you could go for a 38mm.
it all depends on what you want.
my gasser 200 has a 38 (apperently) and i would concider going to a 36mm because i would like some more bottom-mid punch ,i ride more single track and somewhat technical stuff then open fields and fast sections.

i'm sure it will be confirmed

ciao, Hannes.

ps: don't shoot me if i'm wrong here
