You can expect more performance from it than any other carb. And you can buy them new for 230 bucks.

In my opinion, the 400 MM carb is way too big unless you got one hell of a big motor, you are gonna lose a lot of needed low end with a carb that big, I'd personally stick to a 37-38mm carb.

You can buy them for that price at this website.

Then click on Lectron Power Jet

The price is $239

Aaron 10.
What is the one that I have to buy (TRX400EX):
The Non-Power Jet (gas) or the Power Jet(gas)?.
Can I use my OEM Thumb Throttle?, because I don't like Twist Thorttle on my ATV.
And the last question, I have a 440 kit, with XR400 cam, ported, valve springs with titanium retainers, xr250 CDI and full Curtis Sparks exhaust, what size of carburetor do you recommend (I don't want to loose my bottom end), 38 -39 or 40mm?.

Sorry for those many questions, and thanks for your help, I really don't want to waste my money.

E-mail racer's edge to find out if you need the power jet or non power jet. Tell them your mods and see what they say about what size to get. I say if you don't want to lose any low end power to go with the 38. The 40 is more for top end speed.
