    Hello,
    I'm finally done with my Bing carb and I am switching to a 38mm Mikuni. What are ball park jetting specs for this carb going on 1975 Husqvarna CR360 @ 1,500-3,000 elevation.

    Thanks

    If you are replacing the carb, why not go the Lectron route. Brilliant carb, and works from see level to about 10'000 ft without any mods.
    No jets to clog up, and a boost in gas mileage. I have them on both my Husky's and love them.

    Why buy a lectron when you can have a smart carb .

    grouty,

    Thanks for the reply. Is the Lectron a bolt on and go? What is needed for the manifold and stock air cleaner?

    The Lectron comes as a fit and go package. From opening the box to starting was about 10 minutes. Most of that was fitting the new throttle cable. They have the correct metering rod out of the box. I did try 1/4 turn either way, but the factory setting was spot on.
    Lectron will ask you to supply the measurements of your old carb. That would be o/a length and the o.d of the filter and engine side. They then machine them to be an exact replacement for what came off, so no mods required for manifold and air cleaner. I guess your Bing was mounted to the motor with a rubber pipe ?

    The stock Bing clamps over the magnesium intake. Thanks for the info.

    Interested in this, can you give link to either please? Don't have a bike yet, at least not a Husky (did 20 years ago) and would like to learn more about this:)

    Thanks,Steve
