You allow a buddy to ride with you on a 250?

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

im back to my PWK, ill sell this 3hr old Lectron that i paid 330,00 for 250.00 and that's free shipping in the lower 48. If you already have a keihin dont bother it wont make a difference and i wont sell it to you, if your replacing a Mikuni its an improvement ( my experience)

The 38 may be the ticket but why is motosportz pushing the 36?

I think the 36 is for small bore bikes,,the 36 mm is the throat bore a carb tappers down from the inlet ( air filter side) thats how you get the velocity ram air effect,,if you have a 300cc bike you have to match the air flow velocity of the same carb if your upgrading.. An engine lives on breathing you cant choke an engine of air.. No air no power its as simple as that..

Yes and so far the only unhappy customers that I have read about are those who bought 36mm carbs for 250-300 bikes.I think the 36 is for small bore bikes,,the 36 mm is the throat bore a carb tappers down from the inlet ( air filter side) thats how you get the velocity ram air effect,,if you have a 300cc bike you have to match the air flow velocity of the same carb if your upgrading..

I just looked through my PMs and Emails. You ordered a 36mm I sent it. We had no other communications i can find. I did not "push" anything. Many KTM and GG 250/300 come with 36's and many happy customers with it. If you had you carb 100% dialed there's not much reason to buy another carb. Many people extremely happy with it over the TMX or PWK. I suggest you tune it a little and see. Sorry you do not think it is an improvement.
I think some people are thinking this is some magic bullet as many are liking it and posting. It is a very good carb but like I said in many posts before it is far from a necessity and if you have a great performing carb run it. It would be like trying different tires or exhaust when your 100% happy with what you have. Buy something you actually need to fix an issue.

The High needle was waaaay rich initially, but the Low needle was really close. I'm pretty sure I'm at 1 turn out (leaner) also.

My WR300 came with a 38mm, and I was a bit skeptical about running the 36mm, but it seems to be the perfect size. I think whoever wants to try one out should do their research first...I wanted to smooth out the raw power of my steed and as an added bonus, gain a little fuel economy, which is exactly what the Lectron did!
I can roll faster through the trails and not have any "surprises" from the massive hit the Mikuni delivered from the factory, because of all the years I've been racing, raw power and trees= bad news!! Do your research, do some practice sessions and get it dialed in, and you'll enjoy some smooth yet deliverable power :-)
I rode a WR165 (KTM 200 piped) today with a Lectron and it ran OK, but wasn't what I think it was hyped up to be in posts I've read on several forums.
I expected miraculous F.I. response and unreal over rev. In the admittedly limited ride it felt like a "slightly stronger on the bottom" 125. Not strikingly more, which is what I was expecting, just a little more. I plan to ride it back to back on a track next week so I can get a better feel for it but I gotta say, first impression, neither the BB or the carby was that much better than my 99 WR125 with TMX and PC MX pipe/silencer. I added a 51t to the rear from a 50t and honestly, I think that or another tooth out back might make them just about even.

That's interesting. Very curious how you get along on the track. Some guys like the harder hit of the 125. I know if you whack my 165 on the bottom/mid like you can with any Husky 125 you will be picking rocks out of your asss.
This 165 had a drool line as long as the silencer. I suggested it was fat too. He says the bike has done that since new, even with the TMX jetted leaner than delivered. We pulled the plug and it was dark but dry at 10 hours. It barely had any deposits on it after 10 hours. The mix is 44:1.
Maybe it is fat, (carb) he left it as it was delivered and it suits the owner just fine, vet "C" learning off road. Roll on at the bottom produced a surge that is better than my 125 but not so much that I'd buy the carb and the 165 and the pipe. Again, the jetting might be off and I only rode in a small, gravelly loop in my street bike gear. Still, I've ridden my 125 enough now to know what it does and doesn't do.
I'll post my impressions of it at the track where we can ride both my 125 and his 165 on repeatable obstacles, turns, straights, etc.
