I and a few friends (yes, I do have some friends[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]) went to LS this last weekend.
I wanted to let everyone know my opinion on the lectron 46HV carb. This was the second long weekend that the bike has been out and played for more then 6 hours a day. The carb was flawless on my trail bike!!! It never bogged from catching air, running through whoops, or anything else I could throw at it. The carb is a nice setup. I was useing the TM42 before this carb. Between the two carbs, I like the Lectron MUCH better. Easier thumb pull and power all the way through the power band. I did gain power from the carb switch, but, am not sure how much, I have not had it on a dyno yet. This bike has the sport cams and a slip on exhaust. It is not the fastest DS, but it does win a few races [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] The bike is a great all around duner! I would recommend the carb to anyone.
On to my other bike. I ran it down the track 3 times. I only ran it on motor and never shot the NOS. It ran the best that it ever has!!!!! But like they say, it alsways runs its best before it blows..... I should have done a plug check before I ran the third pass. I leaned out and I think I burnt a hole in the piston. I will have the head off tonight and check it out. But the plugs look like they are brand new (pure white). We will see. I hope to have it back up and running real soon.

Sorry about the bad luck with your bike.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Have you ever had a 44 on the bike to compare it to the 46hv, or a good S.W.A.G.? Just curious of your opinon on the two.

Dune devil- sorry for the bad luck. Is that (46 carb) the one from Eric? and the one buttfungus has?? If so i have seen Butt's set-up and it was running VERY well and strong. Since you like to put the miles on things fix you big DS and come to texas sand drags in 2 weeks.

Ward660R, The only carbs that I have had on the trail bike are the stock, the 42TM, and now the 46HV. The 46HV is the best so far by a long shot! I have a 48 on my drag bike and like it. But we are compareing apples to orange's.
DStroyer, I have two DS's, One is set up for only drag raceing. The other is a very dependable dune machine.
biggerisbetter, I am glad I could help out. If anyone gets the chance to meet up with Bigger and his wife, do it, they are GOOD PEOPLE I really enjoy rideing with him and his family!
14mins, Yes, it is the carb that Eric sells. Eric and his cousin , Randall, have really done the R&D on this carb! it is set up almost perfect! It is a nice carb.
I will try and get down there to the dragstrip in two weeks. I need to get everything ordered and here before I can say yes I will be there.
Mark, can you keep these forums clean? This is a family site [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
ScoobyDFW, I had taken the air/fuel ratio meter off of the bike when I upgraded the cams and put the tach on there. I wish I would have kept the meter on there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BigWaynester, All that I hope is that it runs as well as it did before it blew up!!! It had never ran that good before, and this was just motor!!!! I ran it the weekend before, and it was not running right then. It is amazing how much difference there was in one weeks time.
