Title: Lectron carb needles?
Post by: Kevin Jury on March 22, 2016, 09:44:27 PM
I have a 36 mm lectron power jet carb for my 1981 KTM 250 and was wondering if anyone knows what needle I should put in it as a starting point? Also a good source for the needles would help also.
Thanks, Kevin.

Check with Al Buehner from the suppliers listed on the home page. He may be able to get you started on size.

If anyone has a 4-1 needle for sale and don't mind posting it to New Zealand I would be very keen to buy it. Thanks, Kevin.

Kevin, I sent an email to Helmut, I am sure that he will get in touch with you.  He is very knowledgeable with the Lectron carbs, and will be a huge help to you. James
