possum Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 Also these carbs im referring to were setup by reputable builders.I have also talked with guys that run here in dumont and have had issues with pwks. All that said, me personally I love these lectrons so far. And look to get more. Quote
troyzstang Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 Kind of like the Lectrons too. I've also heard that Mikuni's work very well if you have the skills to dial them in. Think I'll stay with Lectrons . Quote
m671054 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 The cast Lectrons are made from China's recycled aluminum.pics of billet lectrons? Quote
registered user Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 im sure lectrons are nice if theyre sorted out. with the wrong needle they can be a real pain in the ass Quote

JTmachining Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 Lectrons are one of the most difficult carbs to set up and tune. Have I had good results with Lectrons? Yes. With that said I'm going to be using PWKs on all my motors starting this year. There are some new developments being made... Quote
camatv Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 how are lectrons difficult to tune?????? on alky with pe-1 needles the center holes not filled with crap or jacked with ( some goof ball drilling them out!!) the right fuel flow setup either its a pump ( bla) or big ass bowls with small floats, overflow's added in the bowls ( or chariot) they are super easy to deal with. as with ANY carb getting the jetting at least really close is the bigget hurdle. how many posts are there about kehien's on alky having huge issues because of the wrong needle the wrong size dump drill out, and also same with mikuni's anyone rember trying to get a mikuni to not fuel starve ? and then oh shit if the temps change 20d everything is jacked up on mik's and kehiens. then yo have to spoend a few hours fiddling with jets, nd moving needles up and down jacking with teeny tiny screws in the slides, then oh shit what if you get some crap in the bowl uh oh there goes them kehiens overflowing all over the place again... lectrons if they are a tad rich takes 5 minutes to lean the needles dont have to remove the carbs dont even have to drain them if there is access.. if the temps change because of the way the fuel is meter'd the carbs can adjust somewhat pretty easily and not be as jacked up with the temp changes.. unless you are tightening the screws in the casting with a jack hammer you shouldnt have a problem with the alluminum.. i have ran gas on a bike then switched it to alky at the dunes without removing the carbs. using a dyna to back down the timing with a flip of a switch, then turn the pj's down for the gas.. i HAVE seen a lot of so called packard lectrons that were NOT packards. the oe style with pill jet and pj are kinda funky if they made a pj stle that the screw was not at risk of falling out that would be better. lectrons do have their own problems too. but as far as an easy setup to deal with tune and get to run right so you can ride. and not spend all damn day fiddling with to then just have a problem the next day if its hotter or colder.. they are the best. most times people select way to small of a lectron for their motor's.. with the HV style setup a much larger overall size carb needs to be used. if your bike likes 38's or 39's try 44 lectron HV. i see a lot of drag bikes with 34/36 lec's or even 32/36 thats way way way to small. the 40 straight hv or 40/42 hv works great on smaller cc cubs.. of course just my opinion Quote
JTmachining Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 Lectrons are sensitive to weather and set up. Then again I'm super detailed and picky with set up and tuning. They also have a metering rod not a needle. Quote
possum Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Posted January 28, 2015 Since they are junk, Tabata give me your Lec's Quote
possum Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Posted January 28, 2015 Tabata ive heard you say a couple times that once you set your metering rod. you never touch your carbs, and maybe put a small turn in or out on pj depending on weather. Something aint adding up. lol Quote
