    I recently had a bunch of Husky stuff and I found this Lectron inside.
    Because I never used it and I dont know anything about Lectron I am asking all of you any news about it.
    I dont find any number on it.
    Can be used on Huskys motors ?
    To me seems for a big bore ?

    Best thing to do is call or email the guys at Lectron, they're friendly and helpful.
    If I found an old Lectron first thing I'd do is send it to them for a rebuild and update. If you tell them which bike it's going on they'll set it up for you too. :thumbsup:

    When you send it to Lectron, make sure you tell them you want the power jet circuit added.

    Is there a limitation for what post-vintage bikes cannot use Lectrons (I know they can't be used on vintage bikes)? Also Brian, what does the power jet circuit do, and what is an average cost for Lectron to do this work?

    Some vintage classes specify no flat slide carburetors... so Yes

    The power jet circuit adds fuel at about 3/4 throttle to wide open and is externally adjustable. It's handy to richen for sand tracks or lean out for extreme high altitude however you rarely need to adjust a lectron.

    Lectron carbs are legal for all 75+ Posts Vintage classes. As lankydoug said, it adds more fuel on the very top end and is easy to adjust.

    you can also adjust where you want it to start adding...half throttle and up, 5/8 throttle and up, etc etc..

    Mikuni also has power jet kits to add them to their carbs. This allows the power jet to handle the very top and allows you to lean the main jet significantly for finer tuning of the fuel metering.
