    If the choke would be easier to reach on the opposite side just order the choke lever. That's about all it does, it makes it Mikuni like.

    LOL I did hit a tree once, i hope only once too.
    Front wheel slid out and the forks hit the tree, bike was stuck on the tree with the tree between the wheel and fender.
    I flew past the tree by a good 10 feet.
    Hope to run a 14 sprocket instead of the 13, if this Lectron increases the low end really good.

    I am in the snow, so the next single track ride wll be in April.

    Its an option when You buy from Lectron or an add on kit for later if You don't like the push pull knob that they come with.

    Well i stuck the lever on it from 1 of my old carbs.

    Works just fine with a slight mod to the lever and removed the knob on the lectron choke and put a nut on it with lock tight.

    Had the bike out at the MX track today testing the carb and stuff out.
    Wow never felt the bike haul the mail like that before, shit does it ever rip now.
    Left me thinking i had a tiny tire or some race gas lol clutch is slipping in 4th pretty good.
    It never did that last season, so making some better power :)
    Well 1 minor thing to get ready for the season.
    Super happy with the swap.The plug looks great, just adjust the idle and go.

    Looks like spring up there! Where's all the white stuff?
    That's one pretty bike.
    Nice to hear the Lectron is giving you more HP. I can't wait to get my Lectron on.

    I don't recall all the details it was 3 months ago.
    I put the lever under the lectron plunger, had to make it a touch thinner and wider perhaps to fit...
    Took the knob off and made a notch in the threads for the lever to grab on too.
    Then found a nut to put on top or above the lever/notch with loctite to make it good and secure for the pull up.

    Been out 8 times, since i made that 1 adjusment the bike runs super.
    1 kick hot or cold to start :)
    I rode with 3 modern bike riders on Sat for the first time.
    They were a little suprised how well it started and ran, i got fully dressed (mega gear) helmut and all on then I fired the bike cold, 1 kick haha and said lets go.
    Doing that with gear on could be risky. when some big bores take mega kicks to start, your sweating hard before you even ride.

    must be since you had the push pull choke, and i have a lectron cable choke..im ordering a few powerjet tubes for my 360 tomorrow, maybe ill get one of their other chokes so i can mod it. i hate the cable choke..

    the lectrons are truly a great carb otherwise.
