125-200cc lectron or not...

having problems getting the minkuni carb sorted out on my 01 cr125. i ride elevations from 2200 - 5500. she won't idle. runs fine until it fouls a plug going down steep hills. what size main jet should i be running? any other tips or suggestions? if i go with the lectron, Will it solve my problems?

I VOTE LECTRON! YOU'LL LOVE IT.

What Kelly (Motosportz) said. Check the other things first, re-jet if needed, then if you want get the Lectron. If it were me after checking the other stuff I'd just get the Lectron . Good Luck.

I am running a 380 main 27.5 pilot . You may want a slightly richer main than me - 400 - whats it got? Try screwing out air screw.

As a baseline my husky service manual says

360 main for 5000'
390 main for 2500' 30 pilot @ 10 c

If your constantly going up and down in elevations you can jet it for an average. But it'll never be spot
On it seems. If I get my bike running perfect then go up 1500' I have to change the plug by the time I'm back down as its too rich.

Even though I ride at a consistent elevation mostly. Im still leaning towards the lectron. Even though u can get the tmx running good. You have to fiddle with it throughout the seasons of course.

Both Of my 01's are running 25 pilot and 380 main one likes the needle in the 2nd notch from the top the other likes the 3rd, I run maxima k2
@44:1 I've never had any jetting issues once they were sorted out, I have tons of hours on these things most of my riding is in the 1000
to 2000 FT. range the fuel screw requires attention for temp. to keep it running crisp. If it used to run fine and you haven't changed oil
brands or ratios start checking for a mechanical issue.

I often change between those elevations in 10 - 20 minutes. Western nc has some good local relief. I believe I changed the main to a 320. Don't want to have to fiddle around with carbs all day. does the lectron alleviate the elevation changes?

Lectron, You won't regret.

Can you elaborate on your hard start issues at Sandlapper, whether it was electrical or fuel related?

Make sure your top end is fresh.

Has good compression. Run maxima50:1. Gas leaks out of carb when bike is stopped

Ethanol eats your needle jet,distorts over time and leaks by. I have had more than one go bad. Unless you have a solid jet than float level or junk float.

The float needle had a grove on it. A new one is on order. Maybe the float is getting hung on it ?

I believe I will trace this to a bad ground on the ignition. I washed the bike Monday and the bike started first kick every time. The wash water completed the circuit. I bet now the bike is completely dry, it will be hard to start again.

A gremlin like that can be aggrevating to say the least. I didn't think you would have anything bad to say about the lectron.

gonna pull the trigger on the lectron. going on a 01 cr125. should i get the 36 or 38? also, am i gonna have issues with the throttle cable?

Just ordered one from Motosportz
