    Hi Guys
    Just a little update. I finally installed my Lectron carb, and is startet up on the second kick. Just perfect.I havent teste the bike on the track yet, so I will give an update on that aswell.
    I also got my original shocks rebuilt by Knåda Sport in sweden. Took a long time, but they are now on the bike and working great. Only thing is that they didnt paint them when they took them apart! I will put some pics as soon as possible.

    It is much better to paint them after they have been rebuilt. Less chance of scratching the paint when the bodies are held in the vice blocks. I masked mine up after the rebuild and they came out very well.
    You will love the Lectron. It makes life very easy !

    I had trouble with my CR400 not starting tracked it down to the fuel tap leaking flooding the carb.

    Same here. But I also had a crack in the carb so I had to change it anyways. I went with Lectron, and it really was a good choice!
