Lectron Carbs

[tlanders]

Hey guys,

Speedy (Helmut Klausen) and Gary Ellis convinced me that I ought to replace my worn out Bing carbs with Lectrons. I then started to look for them and buy them on Ebay, however, I could never find the right size, power jet length, etc., so I decided to buy a new one. During this process, Lectron made me a dealer for the vintage bike market.

Therefore, if you need any parts or whole new Lectron carbs, hopefully I will be able to help you out.

That's great news Teddy...I've been thinking about making the switch to a Lectron on my 77 125 GS6 project. It seems most people that try them have nothing but positive comments.

Good job Teddy. I've been sitting on a NOS Lectron maybe I'll try it on my 77 GS6.

Teddy,

They are great carbs, my Lectron equipped Hercules would literally run almost upside down without loading up. I have a 30mm on my 125 KTM and a  34mm slated for my Jackpiner, I will need parts for that one.

Will you be stocking the metering rods and be able to suggest tuning?

Teddy, you got to educate me. What is the advantage for me to switch from the Bing to the Lectron for my Six Day. How hard is it to set the jets correctly? Do I use a leaner mixture? Will there be a boost in performance? Would I be able to go from the back of the pack and suddenly be able to keep up with you and Mike Lenz?

If you are going to race AHRMA in the Vintage class, you can't run Lectron carb's. If you are going to race PV go for it. I use Lectron's on all my PV bikes.You will use the same mixture, nothing changes there. The advantage is no dead spots, better performance. You can lay your bike over and it will not flood out. As far as getting to the front of the pack, the trick is to hold the throttle on longer. This trick will also help to keep up with Mike Lenz, but watch out for that first turn.:D Just my two cents  Gary

Speaking of Lectron Carbs, Teddy, will you have carb to airbox boots available for the various models?  Thanks in advance[8D]

Whenever you're in a hurry and don't check spelling, you get the snitz!!! Sorry Speedy.

I should have the million dollars worth of Lectron inventory delivered soon. Actually my original plan was to simply buy a carb for me at the best price possible. Then I thought maybe someone else may want one and I could order it for them adding a small handling fee and the shipping costs and I could then get the carbs for them at as low a cost as possible. Ergo, become a dealer. I do not have the time to be a "real" dealer and Speedy is. However, it does seem to make sense that I inventory a bunch of metering rods, power jets, float components and some typically sized rubber airboot and spigot parts. I will carry them around with me to the races and hopefully be of some help to those needing parts. I already carry around tons of Mikuni and Bing parts and most of the time I give them away with the promise that they will be returned.

One of the neat things about Lectron is that you can order the air inlet side and discharge spigot sizes to fit your needs. I just ordered a 36mm Lectron for my 1984 250 MXC KTM. The Bing I'm taking off has a 52mm inlet and a 45mm discharge. The stock Lectron has a 60mm inlet and a 42.6mm discharge. For $26, Lectron is going to sleeve the spigot up to 45mm and turn down the inlet to 52mm. The overall length was the same at 96mm. This inexpensive service will reduce all our time of trying to find different rubber parts. I will be able to bolt the carb right into my original equipment.

Speedy has volunteered to help us get the right metering rods for each application. Gary will attest to how easy it is to set them up. I can't wait to get my "dealer kit" and my new carb. After I get the kit, I should be able to post prices and parts lists.

Teddy I wish I really was Blitz Schnell Landers

Ted,

What does a 36-38mm new Lectron sell for? Awful nice that they'll fit in the tight Bing space allotted on MC5/GS6s, since wedging a Mikuni in there can be a chore. And since replacement parts (like the slide) for Bings are priced as if they're hand forged from titanium, Lectron sounds pretty sweet.

As soon Teddy has received his Dealer kit,he can then calculate everything and let everybody know.
