Lectron Slide issue ... HELP !
1) Three to four per side would cover it at this point is my thinking.
2) as close to the ends of the slide as possible , there is a 1-2 mm cavity milled into the carb that adjoins the face of the slide the faces the engine and within that area might be the spot...did I loose ya there?
3) Ive already given thought to the sides but I dont think that would be an issue due to the fact that the force keeping the slide from moving is the face towards the motor not the sides.
4) Machining it out by hand might be an option so long as you have the propper tools to keep things in tollerances. harbor Freight has a Milling vise I might be able to use, god help me if I were to screw that up!! I have a buddy or two that might be able to help me out for a couple of beers

When it starts up there is a significant amount of resistance on the pull AND the return. Upon closer inspection of the sides of the slide, it has medium to deep scrapes / gouges from use which I’m sure is the cause of the problem in conjunction with the vacuum placed on the slide while the motor is running. OK so its not the end of the world and I’m not about to give up on my carb as it does provide the horse power that it promises!
For those of you that have dialed it in and have done polishing to the slides can ya help a brother out with some ideas ?
Would anybody know what a new slide costs as this might end up being the way to solve it? Its Monday and R-R isn’t open to ask….
Thanks Guys !

I installed my 46HV/Moose throttle and took it out for its initial run last Saturday. I only had it out there for 1/2 hour. Everything seemed fine. Tomorrow is the real test (Glamis till Sunday).
Thanks,

Lectron Slide issue ... HELP !
This has been this way since I bought it. Ive never had it out yet for a full ride. In all fairness to MrHp and his crew, I bought this carb used. If you look in the first couple of posts youll see that Bigdadddy331 said that he sold it to me. The slide has some use on it and the cable too. I have yet to go for a ride for more than 4-5 min.
Randal called me today and we spoke about it. Im going to take some 220 wet/dry and take out the scrapes and make sure that the carb is spotless. Also Im going to try a newer cable without the 90 degree bend in it.

Lectron Slide issue ... HELP !
You might get a few ideas from this FCR diagram but for the rollers to work on the Lectron it would require an air-gap between the front of the slide and carb body. That gap may cause to much air to by-pass the needle and make for an erratic or poor idle.

Lectron Slide issue ... HELP !
Is there such a thing as "Good" idle with the Lectron. I know that it is adequate..... but good?????
Good thing it doesn't need to idle great when racing! If you want to run idle at say 1400 - 1600 your in!
Obviously there are those that are out there that have gotten there Lectrons to work like champs. Those are the guys that will be of the most help. If Sand and Maddog got theres running like pig snot on a hot plate - get over there and see those guys..
good luck.
let us know what you come up with.
