hagstrombmw Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 The set up was fast gas with 40mm lectron and was a 2into1 for banshee sorry dam spell correct For phone changes. The words around and lectron is no help all thay will say is send carb to them or buy new setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertR Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) It should say on the needle what as to what it is. On my it has pe-1 on the needle.. Edited August 2, 2014 by RobertR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 The PE-1 is an alky needle. You will need to take a GOOD look at the graph for lectrons that shows the fueling for the various rods. Make an educated guess at what you need and go from there.

RobertR Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I should have noted that I run methanol but I also have had 36mm lectrons they had 2xl in them but like n2o said look at there chart.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 The PE-1 is an alky needle. You will need to take a GOOD look at the graph for lectrons that shows the fueling for the various rods. Make an educated guess at what you need and go from there.With this being a 2/1 carb if imagine you might be pretty close if you find a PE1 needle that N2O just mentioned. Reason being, many of the 2/1 set ups wind up with the same needles you would use on a bike that has 2 carbs on alky. Not saying it'll be perfect, but it could be in the ball park.

CottonBranchRacing Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 A 02XL is a(very lean) third-generation lectron gas needle. A PE1 is Dennis' smallbore alcohol needle. There's 100 different needles on the lectron graph, Dennis only has a few for common alcohol applications. He doesn't really tell people where his needles come from on the graph, theyre similar to some but they're mostly his own cut. How many cc's is your motor. , and what fuel do you wanna run ...gas .. Alcohol...? CottonBranchRacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagstrombmw Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Its 40over i run av gas think its 101 octane or 99 octane it runs now with the needle in it it doesnt say what it is on it the carb was on a Harley shovel head i screwed the rod all the way out wouldn't start then tryed all the way in fired right up idles mint but live in a quiet neighbourhood so cant do any 6gear passes to see if its cutting out on top but revs up quick sounds good just dont wont to blow it up brand new top end in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasi S. Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 My friend has a 40mm Lectron (single), with that excavator(?) snomo manifold. Stock ported reed cages. Stock milled head. "dune" ported 65,5/54, and T5's. 155psi, 93 pump gas at 350-500ft asl. He has 2-6 metring rod. It was close but not prfect. He still needs to open power-jet littlebit.

hagstrombmw Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Stock cylinder.

camatv Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 try them all. you can also do the trade in dealw ith lectron. you can get 4-5 needles send back the ones that dont work and just pay for the one that does. the 0-2 may be needed for the much stronger pull on the carb from a 2-1. i personally would just either get another 40 and run a pair OR get a set of 34/36, 36/36, 36/38's if you want more low end really the 30/30, 30/32, 32/34 works great i ran 30's on my old dunner 421 they were a fun carb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonBranchRacing Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ask him for a 5-2 or a 6-2. The numbers after the dash only go to 4. The numbers before the dash go to 20. If I knew the overall length of the metering rod, I could give you a start point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagstrombmw Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 U think i could run two 38s or would that be 2 much i got the 2into1 kit to see how it was dont really like the power but it had 35mm havnt ripped it with the lectron yet goin out in a little bit i think the stock carbs ripped a lot harder then the 35mm with the 2into1 intake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 You are correct on the way the stockers ran against the 2/1. The 2/1 is....... Well, not worth the learning curve. Most guys I know spend so much time trying to get them dialed in with the finicky mid range tuning, they could of looked on here in the jetting section, made one set of changes and been 90% in a quater of the time spent tuning.
