i have a buddy that just purchased this carb he installed a woods 11.5-1 piston lte duel exhaust. we started it and idled fine when you get on it, it runs like crap higher rpm it cuts out. there really wasnt a book with it and they said it was on the leanist pos there is. you can see out the pipes that its verrrrry rich what happened???? any ideas?? right now hes at 1700ft going to walden as we speak what 7000ft.

 

The lectron runs best with the snorkel & that isn't posible with the lte's exhaust. IMO!

 

what is IMO? im stupid[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

come on guys we dont know a damn thing about this carb. and everyone says its one of the best ones, should we put it back to the stk settings?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

IMO means In My Opinion.
sorry I'm no help with Lectrons, no experience there. But if you think its rich at 1700 ft. he will be screwed at Walden. Its 8000 ft. there, and if you ride the mountian trails you'll break 10,000.
When I was at Walden this year, the Hondas and Yamahas I was with suffered big time from rich jetting as they did not have the necesary jets with them unfortunately, I mean it was amazing, the HP loss is extreme at that altitude and every little fine tweek means alot. i was fortunate to have a jetting assortment for my TM45, and all I have to do is drop one main jet size for every 1500 feet I raise and its nearly perfect every time, it only takes 35 seconds to change it. I was doing wheelies everywhere at 10,000 feet while others suffered from severe bog on the bottom end.

 

 

Hightower thanks for the info again!

 

thanks anyway hightower and countryjoeglass. ill tell them to just put it back to stk settings and call tvi or whoever he got it from.

 

screw the metoring rod out.1/4 turn at a time to lean it out.

 

IMO, This is why it pays to buy parts from someone that gives great customer service and knows what they are selling... Eric @ HP Research has gone to great lengths to help myself and others on this forum ( Again, This is my opinion and I am in no way trying to start anything........) But my point is, call who you bought the carb from and they should be able to help your buddy out.....
