250-500cc I messed up real bad....

heres the story.. i was going to tune my lectron and turn it a qaurter turn richer. so i did that and i out the the flat side of the metering rod facing the the air filter (the wrong way). i started the bike and and it ran like shit, so i adjusted the carb like 20 times not realizing the rod is backwards. I have the rod so far out of adjustment, i dont even know rich or lean because it wont start.i emailed kelly but i know hes busy with a million questions. So my question is how do i get the rod back to the setting when it left lectron.

i would try around 2.100" measured from flat part of slide to tip of rod. that will be somewhat close. start from there...hanging idle=too lean. go richer until bottom end and first part of midrange starts to break up a bit then back off lean a quarter turn. powerjet is top half of throttle, remember any time throttle is halfway of more the powerjet is flowing. sometimes marking your throttle can help. i believe lectron sends them out 1.5 turns out. powerjet is sensitive, make 1/4 turns until close, then 1/8th turns. turn richer until it starts to four stroke, then back off a tad. then get ready for it to rip like it never has.
by the way, you didnt mess up real bad at all. dropping it and cracking off a chunk of it or seizing the motor is messing up real bad

+1 What he said. I wish I had measured the rod when I first got mine. Before the last adjustment it was 51mm, 1/2 turn in/richer made it 50mm. My power jet was 1 turn out stock, now I'm at 1 1/2 out.
I think @ 51mm rod length is stock. Get it to start and idle and respond to throttle first. Set the PJ to 1 or 1 1/2 turns out and adjust if necessary once it's running good. If it's hard to start it's probably lean, unless you're fouling plugs.

Thanks alot!! when i get home today i will adjust it and see where im at and let you know how it goes
