EZ but you have to pull the slide. On the APT you pull the slide tot he top and push down on what is basically a spring loaded straight screw driver. It is EZer but it seems like about every third time i tried it the freaking throttle cable would pop out and piss me off.
If the metering rod part does its job anywhere near as well as the APT the power jet will be icing on the cake. If the Lectron ends up being as good as the APT i will really be scratching my head why these are not more popular. It already starts better than the APT.
I might have to ask for my money back from APT if the Lectron performs well. Hopefully better mileage self compensating for elev and no trail of spooge.
Back in the mid 90's I raced a Yamaha Banshee in the GNCCs. The hot setup at the time was to do away with the dual carbs, run a single 40mm lectron with a 2 into 1 pipe. It was the only way to get any bottom end out of that twin cylinder screamer and sounded like nothing else on the track. I never knew anything about the lectron and never asked. I bolted the stuff on and raced it all year. Never made any adjustments. I ran belray mc1 at 50:1 and there was no spooge anywhere. I sold a used pipe to a friend and he asked if I even mixed oil with the gas cause the pipe was that clean. Now after reading all this Im ready to buy a lectron for my wr250.
My APT starts first kick cold. Don't know how it gets any better than that. I agree with you on the Lectron popularity void. I remember hearing about them, but where were they? Surely would have bought one with what I went through trying to jet the WR360! This is a great forum!
Could use the plastic spring seat with the little nib pointing down vs. the slotted washer. Cotter pin fixed that deal. But as I've read before, can't beat being able to be beta testers! I believe it's value equals it's price and that's just going to get better with time.
Yep the SC started 1st kick for me too. K since you went 13-15 clicks leaner than me I wonder if I was a little rich or you a little lean. Now I do as a habit always give a little throttle when I start my 2-strokes so that could be a factor too .
I don't doubt that for a second. I needed to fine tune it and was also in the crappiest of conditions with rain and snow and rain and rain and cold and rain. I had little time with it but what I did I liked a lot.
watching this and I'm thinking... His wife must be pissed!... running that thing at night ...making all that noise... disturbing the neighbors LOL!
For my bike in my crap conditions it started OK. It did seem to want more throttle than normal. Also the choke curcuit seemed overly rich. Had to turn off asap and had to give it some throttle cold. Again, crap conditions and not much fiddling. Still liked it.
22 years, she has seen it all I don't even think she hears it anymore. Great wife. Plus that was at like 6 pm it just gets dark here real early. If it had a shock I would have been doing wheelies all over the neighborhood. Dude down the street has dirtbikes and is all over on them too. Funny as it is a quiet older neighborhood and no one seems to care.
there are a few options but about $300. http://www.lectronfuelsystems.com/carburetor/lectron_power_jet_carburetor_30mm-40mm.html
