locogato11283 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Why do you want Lectrons for gas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicklez Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Ive been getting the hang of Lectrons. On gas. Once you can figure out how to tune them, I dont think you would ever want to run anything else. JMO. The biggest thing is figuring out the correct metering rod. Once you got that, your powerjet set right and your metering rod length, your gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicklez Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 That sounds confusing lol Well i guess you cant be a dipshit. You can call lectron, like I have or Packard to see what rod they recommend. You adjust your powerjet like you would your main jet and adjust your rod like you would for your pilots. Your metering rod turns in and out. LIke I said, I just started getting the hang of them. Tt was explained me how to jet them and its pretty easy. From a 4mill stock cyl to an 18mill dm. Got them set pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomerkfx700 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 i want lectrons for the simple reason they are simple. and i want them because all you have to do is change a needle and go from alky to gas back to alky. you can buy the alky carbs with duel pjs and a extra gas needle and your good to go. ive tuned them on 4 strokes and as soon as you get them to idle with the slide as close to being closed as you can get it thats basically it. open the pj out way farther then you know it will need to be and run it. backing it down about a .25 of a turn till it comes in. they are no spilling gas on anything no jets to pack around in your pocket all you need is a small screwdriver and if you must have it the little tool to turn the needle. but a good hand with a leather man is good as well. they are a reason that the fastest bike in the world run them as well i dont see pwks on them. ive seen on a ds650 witch was a 806 with 39mm fcrs boared to 41.5 pickup 2 peak hp and as much as 4 in places of the curve going to 44mm lectrons witch are only 42mm at the slide. thats same day on the dyno on gas no alky no other changes. so who has the best prices on them ive called packard, and lectron them self but i know they can be got a better deal goin from either of them im lookin right at 900 for carbs and extra needles cables and filters. and ive seen them cheaper just cant remember were i usually write that stuff down but cant find it anywere.
