thebigshow are you still on alky? I would think a single carb would be easier to switch back and forth.

I have had the dualls, and they have great top end hp but lack bottom end "on gas", but the 48hv IMO revs much faster and produces torq alot earlier in the rpm range. The lectron48 NEEEDS to be dialed in exactly for the flow and headwork of the motor to see full potential.. Mine revs instantly past 10k when free reving. I "think" mine is a 48/50. The re-enforced (clamps)snorkle tube is a must for this carb. On the dyno gains which I have posted info in the past, I have gained substantially w/ the lectron 48 over the tm 48.. The big gain was in the power curve and torq # And real time testing on the hill was a nice gain. Also works good with nos.

garys dyno should be ready soon and i'm sure we'll see a report on that, but i think the fuel injection may be the new hot item.

Bigshow, I definiatly think the lectron is more consistant.. I have taken it to 5k ft elevation and did not have to make any adjustments and I felt no power loss with the lectron.

The seat of the pants power increase is very noticable between the dualls and the single. I have not dynoed the dualls, they did not get out of the hole like a single..IMO


Trust me, once you get the lectron 48 dialed in with the right needle and power jet, you should not have to touch it for tuning.

I actually went up one tooth on the counter sprocket and launched alot harder in 2nd with the 48mm, with the dualls, I came out of the hole like a snail but it started to make good power on the top end, but by then it was too late..

I also do think the price of both carbs are rediculous, sorry JMO.
