lectron carbs
was wondering if anyone is guru on lectron carbs,
am getting a set for my kawasaki & as they only run on the main jet, was wondering how they would be for salt work. currently run 38mm flatslide mukunis, but if i buy lectrons, i will probably have to sell mukunis.
ronnie stayt or gary baker what do you think.

hi ron, 1166 wiseco 10.25 to 1 compression.
40mm lectrons. want the lectrons for drag work. am building 1427 motor for the strip & want to run nitrous. i still crew for rob cassar & his bike is basically that combo. learning heaps. you should see that thing go with it's new chasis. we were out at calder last night & he peeled off an 8.38
straight off the trailer with only 4 gears. bent a shift fork & the thing jammed between 4th & 5th. it's the second time it's done that. once thats sorted it will be straight into the sevens. i plan to use the 1166 motor in my dedicated salt bike so i would like to use the lectrons on that. bit hard to justify having a set of $1000 mukuni carbs sitting around the garage just getting used once a year. or should i keep mukunis. got 4 z1000s in the garage at the moment so it's kawasaki city

Hi Ben, Have you perfected the carburation on the Lake G bike first ? I did three major changes to the Triumph before Mangalore and we all know how crappy it performed. I forgot the motto "one step at a time" Good luck on the Lake. Cheers Spook.

As a first timer at this type of thing can anyone give me a "guide" as to what initial setting I should run the 28mm Mikunis at on my Rz500?

ben there is no better than the lectrons for drag racing,, however i would stick with ya mikunis for lsr, and have an airbox to calm the air flow down, rob should be able to give you advice on size etc,,,, if anything i recon the 38`s are a little too big, but will be ok, talk with you at the lake
graheme h. my advice is too initally run rich, with new spark plugs, do a chop at the end off you pass, make sure you roll well off the track, so as to not hold up procedings, take ya plugs out, put a spare set in, then when you get back to the pits have a good look at ya plugs, then adjust from there

Its not going to happen Tiny. The old Triumph is going to remain forever a genuine vintage racing special in every way. Cheers Spook.
