Title: 1977 MC5 175 Lectron and Air Boot
Post by: johnbowman on October 05, 2021, 02:31:56 PM
Hello,

I'm trying to piece together a 1977 MC5 175. I would like to use a 32mm or 34mm Lectron carb for running AHRMA cross country.

Does anyone have a Lectron carb and boot for sale? Do the carbs only come in 38mm?

I would appreciate any advice from veteran enduro/cross country riders on the proper size Lectron to use.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

John

PS. Also need a seat cover.

DC plastic sells seat covers. I have another Lectron carb, not sure of size. I will find it and measure.

Well it wasn't with my Bing carbs. Must have put it somewhere else. Will look again Friday.

John, if you order a new Lectron, you can spec the size of the intake side to match the size of the carb boot.  I run a 34mm on my 1976 XC 175.
