Round two of the "other" carb types - Lectron

Maybe the New Husqvarna's built in Austria could have Lectrons instead of FI. Best of both worlds !

Have you figured out the hanging idle issue?

sparky, a hanging idle means the rod is set lean.

I have my rod set so rich that I can't turn the idle screw in any more to keep it idling. The bike runs great but when I come to a stop or go down a long hill, I get a fast idle and then 8-12 seconds later the idle drops really low. It won't stall, but it doesn't seems right.

As you lean out the rod you will be able to back out the idle screw. When it's right it will have a strong idle that will stay put and not load up.

But the hanging idle would indicate a lean condition. I really can't go any richer.

I'm thinking if you have the slide raised way up it is out of the range that it can't properly meter the idle fuel. In the idle section of the booklet it says that if the slide opening is wide than the rod is most likely too rich

I was having the hanging idle when I was a full turn leaner on the rod. I figured one full turn richer would have taken care of any lean condition. So I was surprised that it was still happening.

The 8-12 second delay is what is throwing me. I wouldn't have thought a lean rod setting would have produced that long of a delay. I was thinking/hoping that that long of a delay might indicate that something else is out of whack.

Update:
With my PWK Airstriker, I always got horrible mileage out. With an oversized IMS tank, I was BONE dry at 55 miles... The bike ran great, and seemed a bit fat at times, but nothing major.


Did 70 hard miles yesterday, and still had at least 10 more in the tank. I went from a 55 mile range, 80+.

Just an update on the Lectron and altitude changes. Did a ride to 7700 feet yesterday with the same settings as I was running in the desert at 900'. Ran perfect no need to adjust anything! The only changes to the carb since this winter has been to do a mod to the rod to duplicate Kelly's custom rod. This richens it up from mid to top only. Ran perfect.

Getting a lot of spooge on my 13 wr125. I had messed with the setting s when it was on my 01cr125. No spooge with that bike. If I screw the pj all the way In. Is this the best place to start? Leaks has out the overflow too. Mostly wanting to eliminate the spooge

turned the metering rod out 1/4 turn and now she's ripping.

Installed ms-3 with new cable will ride this evening not sure the adjustment yet hoping for more bottom end snap.mid-top has been perfect has anyone had thoughts on ms-3 rod compared to 4.1 xl

Quick look at the plug, if this helps. It's driving me mad.
