to me the pj's are a decent carb.  they don't seem to have the low end response as the pwk's have.  but either work just fine.  ( with new needle and seats and very particular float settings)

 

how can you not like lectron.?  they jet so easy  dont have as bad of weather issues and are really simple.  biggest problem i have with them is the slides  they REALLY need chrome plated or even nicko slides in them  they are really prone to stick

Got another email.

 

 

 

 

 

To Our Pre-Order Customers,

 

This is an update for our SmartCarb pre-order customers on the progress of cast 38mm SmartCarb durability testing and production timeline.

 

American Performance Technologies is pleased to announce that the in-house comprehensive durability testing phase is complete.

External durability testing by riders in the field will remain ongoing as we continually look for ways to improve and refine our technology.

 

Minor wear and durability related issues have been addressed and appropriate changes have been made to final casting and machining of 38mm cast SmartCarbs. Float bowl baffling has been markedly improved to reduce chances of fuel cavitation/bogging and new floats will minimize flooding issues and reduce part count and complexity. By taking the time necessary to complete comprehensive durability testing, we feel that we have satisfied our obligations to ensure that our product meets and exceeds the high quality expectations of our customers.

 

Today our supplier has announced that we will not be receiving production castings on October 8 as promised. Our supplier has assured us that SmartCarb castings will begin arriving, fully machined and ready for assembly, starting October 22. APT will then begin shipping them out to pre-order customers as we build them on a first-ordered, first-received basis.

 

As always, American Performance Technologies appreciates your patience and support.

 

After APT receives this first run of 38mm cast carbs, we will quickly move in casting other sizes. Unfortunately, this means that there will be a considerable amount of time before we produce another run of SmartCarbs in the 38mm size. After current pre-order quantities are satisfied, we estimate that there will only be 100 cast 38s in this first run that will go into on-the-shelf inventory. APT expects that shelf stock of 38mm carbs to be depleted quickly due to high demand. If you want to get your hands on one of these remaining 38mm cast SmartCarbs, we encourage any who are interested to go to our website, www.powerapt.com, and pre-order.

 

We will keep you up-to-date and a notification will be sent to your email once your SmartCarb has been shipped. If you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call at 1-877-372-3465.

 

Best Regards!

 

APT SmartCarb Team
